I don't know what company offers "unthrottled", but I suggest you read their fine print to make sure it doesn't mean something else. Hope this helps. :) -Edward- 09-11-2000, 07:44 AM nope not really but thanks anyways lol. cbaker17 09-11-2000, 07:45 AM Youll see that term alot wth dedicated servers although ive never seen it with hosting, pretty much anywhere you host with will provide this feature. Basically what it means is that the ISP can throttle the amount of pipe available to you at a certain time. So lets say the provider has a T3 line running in, he can say hey im going to dedicated 256k of it to this box, etc. When they say unthrottled technically their saying that the box your on has access to the full T3 line. -Edward- 09-11-2000, 07:48 AM Oh Cool thanks :-). Jag 09-11-2000, 11:36 AM cbaker17 got it. sorry for the slow response kunal 09-11-2000, 11:41 AM Interesting.. today I have learnt something new.. yippi!! :D alchiba 09-11-2000, 11:59 AM I've seen the term "unrestricted bandwidth" thrown around by virtual hosts. Means the same thing as "unlimited". . . i.e., nothing. ;-> Chicken 09-11-2000, 07:00 PM See when they aren't specific, you can't be sure *but* I have seen the term "unrestricted" used to describe content. In other words, you can host a porno site, etc. alchiba 09-11-2000, 07:36 PM halfpricehosting is one that uses the term "unrestricted bandwidth". but if you drill down deep enough into their web site you'll find their per-gig fees for overages. it's clear they're playing the odds by assuming you're an "average" customer using a gig or less. |
