Unlimited gigs of transfer and unlimited web space for only 14 USD a month? I find that odd.

Read their terms of service to find the limits of their unlimited plan.

Well Burlee.com is a well-known hosting company although I notice a thread complaining about them here in this forum. But you might want to read this about their definition on unlimited.

One hundred gigabytes of disk space for 8 bucks? I think I'll sign up and use them to backup our servers. :D

Edit: Seriously though, hosts which offer unlimited bandwidth and disk space usually aren't for real. Have you ever heard about an unlimited hard drive or an unlimited internet connection? I haven't anyway.

Weird sort of plan.

Why would _anyone_ need that kind of storage on a 10gb tansfer plan? :D

Reguardless, unlimted transfer and web space for 14 USD a month with some draw backs is still like having a dedicated server. Umlimited web space I could see, but unlimited transfer? Nope.

How can you see unlimited webspace? Can you buy unlimited hard drives? If you can, please let me know, as I would be eager to buy one.

Yes, I can. Buying hard drives isn't that big of a problem. A fourty gig hard drive costs 100 dollars. However (correct me if I'm wrong) hosts enforce bandwith limits so their network doesn't get clogged up with requests. If their network does get clogged up with too many requests, it will cause their connection speed to significantly slow down. In lay man's terms, 5 computers running on a single DSL connection each get a MUCH slower connection than one computer running on one DSL connection.

But adding hard drives is not cost effective for a host. And the number of hard drives that can be added is limited (by the space in the case, and / or the number of IDE / SCSI channels available). So once that server is full of hard drives, then its a new server, which is even less cost effective for the host.

But umlimited web space is still a lot more easer to do than unlimited bandwith.

The fact of that matter is that neither are possible to do.

I want to sign up for an "umlimited web space" plan and just start a script going that generates an infinite number of 2GB files.

And then I want the server to die and see if my files get restored from backup.

Disk drive space is not an unlimited resource, and in fact is not "free" to a hosting provider. You need to determine how much space you have available on a server and divide it by the number of people you are hosting. The size of your harddrives and backup system determines the size of the package that you can offer. Let's quit pretending?
