It looks like there are restrictions. 5gb/month for starter, 15gb/month plus, etc.

I think the wording is just being deceptive, because "unrestricted" could mean that you can use it all in a day if you wanted to and have nothing left for the rest of the month. Though, it may not technically be a "bad practice", it definately needs to be clarified on the site.

Someone there has read too many marketing books. They can really affect your thinking.

They have a purdy template.  Yes, I agree that's a bad practice. Generally it's good to stay away from hosts that promise unlimited/unrestricted/etc. bandwidth.

Just goes to show that some people are out there to steal a quick buck. It's companies like this one that add so much speculation to the industry.

Agreed, just another marketing scheme.

The first few steps are indeed not secured. The page where you're asked to introduce the card details is though.
