One must have probably already seen some of these offers like: Unlimited Bandwidth, Unlimited Data Transfer, or Unlimited Disk Space if one has been looking around for a web host. The truth is that these deals are not possible.
Unlimited data transfer is not possible or some web hosts might say unlimited bandwidth for the reason that if a web host has a server that is connected at 1.544 Mbps (Megabits per second) the maximum amount of data transfer that can be received is * 465.9 GB (Gigabytes) per month. This data transfer is a lot more than most websites will need. However, per month it is limited to the 465.9 Gigabytes and there will be other websites on the server sharing the data transfer if one has a shared web hosting plan.
�* 1.544 Megabits x 60 (seconds in a minute) x 60 (minutes in a hour) x 24 (hours in a day) x 30 (days in a month) = 4002048 Megabits = 4002048000000 bits = 500256000000 bytes = 465.9 Gigabytes (8 bits = 1 byte and 1 Gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes)�
One must have heard of offers for unlimited disk space. This is also not possible. Ones disk space is limited to the size of the server’s hard drive. Yet, if one has a shared web hosting plan, he will have to share the space with other websites.
Consequently, why these offers are being made by the web hosts? These Web hosts assume that many websites won’t be using very much data transfer and disk space. Always read their policies, terms of service, or user agreement page concerning the unlimited offers and be always careful with web hosts who make these unlimited offers.
Always look for hosts that don’t make these unlimited data transfer and unlimited disk space offers or, make sure of reading the web host’s terms of service concerning the offers, while searching for a web hosting provider.
* 1.544 Megabits x 60 (seconds in a minute) x 60 (minutes in a hour) x 24 (hours in a day) x 30 (days in a month) = 4002048 Megabits = 4002048000000 bits = 500256000000 bytes = 465.9 Gigabytes (8 bits = 1 byte and 1 Gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes)
