Hello,

I was looking into Verio's reseller accounts and I noticed that they offer no additional charges for bandwidth.

Check out:

So I'm figuring that if some sites running a message board and need some small space and lots of bandwidth may find this an advantage.

They dont offer unlimited bandwidth

To my knowledge, I know the bandwidth limit exist. viaVERIO was used be iServer where I had a account there long time ago.

I remember the highest bandwidth limit is 25GB before the 50GB bandwidth plan there.

Yes, but it's not like Verio to offer something that isn't true. It says in plain text "No Charge". what's up with that?

I spoke to them on the phone... it is true.

Well, most likely with the amount of space that they're giving you (250 MB for $55) and the amount that they charge, the plan is actually that you won't be able to use over "X" amount of transer a month on the pipe that you are on with their server.

A reasonable example here is that for 1.2 GB of disk space you are going to pay $245 per month to them and you can have as much transfer as your pipe can handle per month. Basically, if it was a continious stream of requests from your site, with only 1.2 GB of information on your site, you won't physically be able to transfer more than "X" amount per month with "X" amount of concurrent users.

That's what they're offering and how they are able to offer it. This is actually an unmetered offer with a solid business plan behind it.

While it is true there are no bandwidth charges, they do limit the RAM, # of overall process, and number of Apache processes.

Thank you.

dynamicnet is correct, I know someone who tried to host their based on the no-bandwidth charge idea. Their site ended up always being too busy and turning away people, not sure that they were using too much of - possibly connections, but it ended up not working for an even moderately busy site.
