DANGERS Of Unlimited Disk Hosting
I have an important message for website developers, especially newbies.
This is a life experience. I started website design and worked from a country where "Unlimited" hosting is respected by clients!
- because developers who introduced it to clients where earning some extra bucks with it.
But the truth there is, no computer anywhere in the world has unlimited Disk Space or anything near infinity.
It has become a marketing strategy on the shared hosting plans offered by many companies; but honestly they are just playing on your intelligence.
The point here is:
Most of the hosting companies capitalize on the UNLIMITED (Overselling) Feature included in Cpanel/WHM.
They buy VPS of 20GB-80GB and use Cpanel/WHM feature to share the disk among many users, and show each person infinity symbol (with the Overselling feature).
Most companies have used this to deceive many developers, including me, into hosting with them.
Some others even went ahead to offer "Once in a lifetime" hosting service!
All in the bid to collect their money and RUN AWAY.
This post, http://www.warriorforum.com/web-host...##post10779277, is a pure case of fraud and it breaks my heart to see people been deceived further.
- Fear any company that offers Unlimited for Underpriced Amount!
If you have issues with your servers, move to reliable provider... Someone ready to support your business!
NOTE:
I am not trying to condemn reseller hosting companies... that use the INFINITY Disk to market their service. Some of them actually upgrade their Disk space when they have lots of clients, but I am giving this warning because many don't upgrade.
Let me know if you have any questions or queries.

- Have you ever checked the entire files of your web hosting disk even after 5 years that the website has been online with active posts and comments? - you'll see you have not spent anything near 2GB Disk.
- Have you ever seen a computer (PC or MAC) that has Unlimited disk or anything near infinity?
- Have you seen a VPS, Dedicated Server or Bare Metal Server that has Unlimited Hosting?
