I wonder how many of those unlimited space packages they are cramming on 1 machine. Never liked the word "unlimited" ; means "overseller" to me.

Unlimited bandwidth is just a gimmick really.

While I can't comment on the performance of this company, I do personally recommend to people not to choose a company offering unlimited diskspace and/or bandwidth.. Not only because of the typical issues associated with offering unlimited diskspace/bandwidth, but because it doesn't provide an economic foundation to base your business on..

Put it this way, as a reseller having unlimited diskspace/bandwidth, you can sell unlimited diskspace because the company is "offering" you it. You can sell whatever diskspace packages you wish and not worry about capacity. But what do you do, when your reseller package cannot be sustained on a shared environment? You will need to move to a dedicated server or VPS, and they will NOT offer you the same quotas. What do you do then? You have sold so many at a low cost.. and are now stuck with limited quotas that have a true cost associated which your planning didn't consider and cannot continue to offer under the same circumstances. You'll need to charge your customers a higher rate and change their packages etc. which they won't be happy about.

Furthermore, say you did set realistic limits on the packages you resell... won't that defeat the purposes of choosing an unlimited provider anyway?

Never go with unlimited space hosting account, as people hosted on this server will for sure load fully the server, and therefore affect the server performance.

They are very very bad. Their server works as like a turtle.

We had researched this company before and had saw many very bad reviews that maid about them. So I do not recommend them. Also go away from companies that allow to overselling.

Have you already reviewed their client reviews at HostSearch.com and uptime statistics at WebHostingStuff.com?
