Clearly overselling with that, so I would be wary

That's turning into pretty much the standard offering from budget hosts. The numbers offered don't really mean much anymore since 99% of people won't even use 1gb let alone 100.

They would never let you use anywhere near as much storage space or bandwidth as they have listed. I'm sure they have something in their TOS. Anyone that wants anything reliable would see right through those packages.

It's $10 a month for that plan. What the hell, sign up. Use half of what they offer, and see if they don't kick you off. Then let us know.

It will give you a clear understanding of why you should stay away from overselling web hosting companies that cheat their customers.

well although they promis that much bandwidth you can't really have that much. I tried it out and used about 40gb bandwidth a day to see what happens, obviously they suspended my account within the second day saying it was causing too much stress on the server, 40x30= 1200gb bandwidth so if I get my account canceled for only 1200gb bandwidth 1500gb bandwidth is almost impossible to get.

Wow. I am considering getting that, then I could set up storage dumps with public ISOs of linux distributions on them.

I'm sure their TOS lists that most of the files must be HTML or PHP/ASP files....and specifically states that it can't be a storage repository!

Most customers use at most 10MB these days, as their corporate page is a mega or so, and for all their e-mail accounts they use an e-mail client that pulls e-mails all the time... Using less then 100MB bandwidth a month is usual as well...

If you have a site using 1.5TB/mo, you got to be some one who knows what you are doing and would never go with such plans, so in the end surfspeedy's Business Plan may work as they are probably targeting the newbie's who does not have a clear understand about overselling.
In the end, I guess this is a WIN WIN SITUATION for surfspeedy As such higly oversold plans will keep the EXPERIENCED-USERS-OUT & NEWBIE'S-IN as these newbie's will hardly use much space or bandwidth.Last edited by SkyNetHosting; 08-20-2006 at 12:24 AM.

Hi Kenneth,
As per our TOS, any file having more than 500kb of size should not exceed 10% of total USED disk quota. In the sense, if you're going to use 27GB of disk space for plain text files (such as HTML code), so you'll be able to use 3GB of disk space for grphics files.
Our TOS : 6. Disk Usage. 90% or more of your content on your website must be linked from an HTML or similarly coded web page where all content is freely available to the public. Your website consists of web pages of a standard design, essentially HTML based text and graphics. Downloadable files, media, streaming content or any file which consumes more than 500kb of space must not exceed 10% of your total used disk quota. Since Surfspeedy provides web hosting for the purpose of serving a website at no time shall the account be used for archival, backups or download services.
Are there any other questions we can answer for you?
Best Regards,
Brian
