Unlimited
Whats everyones option on Unlimited?
e.g Unlimited diskspace and bandwidth for Ł15.99+ a month
Low priced packages get limits however if you pay a premium, i think unlimited is fair.NationhostUK - International Hosting Provider

Normally if anyone gives unlimited, most of the users will be using less space. So the average usage will not be really "unlimited"

Nothing is unlimited. Its a glib statement but its true. at some point somebody will try and use what is on offer, and at that point it ceases to actually be unlimited therefore it shouldn't be advertised as being so.

Are you getting unlimited anything from the DC?
Make sure you have proper TOS clauses so say Google doesn't try to move over its stuff to your server. Really, unlimited reseller hosting is dangerous stuff.

All I can say to unlimited reseller accounts is:
A. Don't actually expect unlimited.
B. Make frequent off-site backups.
C. Don't be surprised if the provider disappears overnight.
This also applies to many other unlimited shared web hosts. Hostgator and a few others being the exception, not the rule.

My opinion is that "unlimited" reseller providers are often unstable and/or unreliable. Even more so if it's low priced.

Find out what the cpu allowance is. All hosts, unlimited or not will at some point have a restriction on cpu burden regardless of space and bandwith.

There's really no such thing as unlimited disk space, and unlimited bandwidth. If you cost the company 150/mo in bandwidth, and they are only getting 15/mo from you, you wont be there very long. Best suggestion is finding a provider that has packages that will fit your requirements.

This whole unlimited thing is silly, we have all spent so much time spiritedly discussing and debating the logistics of a marketing gimmick.

Read the TOS, contact the host and get it clear, of what you are paying for. Most of the time unlimited = unmetered. Nothing in unlimited! Only... the space (maybe)

Unlimited and Unmetered only refers to FAIR USAGE...
All companies that oversell have a clause that is totally against the customer.

I suggest you stay away from hosts who offer unlimited packages, unless you are looking for downtime.

One of my clients was kicked off a few "unlimited" before they came to me. There old host said they was useing too much bandwidth, they came to me and we gave them a set amount of bandwidth and they have no problem at all.

Steer clear of unlimited. Have you ever heard of a unlimited hard drive for your computer? It's really a marketing technique to get people in. Their TOS will / should outline this.
