Unlimited/unmetered, samething, one day your site grows and you will go over 10GB and BANG! They will email you and tell you to move to another host. Try an search on webhostingtalk.com.

And just how many sites go over 10GB? Warez? Porn? My Site certainly does not.

[Technics]

My site transfers more than 10GB and it's not porn or warez.

[Giancarlo]

Yeah sure. We know you have porn somewhere on your site... :D J/K

I find that hard to believe.

[neftha]

I really don't have clue on how much GB my site needs ... I have a site with mainly pictures, audio(samples!) and videoclip downloads. The videoclips are around 10mb (it's avi divx format). At this moment I have around 400 visitors a day but I am afraid that as soon as my site grows, I will have to pay high bandwidth bills (I can not pay).

I am also confused ... what exactly is the difference between bandwidth limits and data transfer?

[Technics]

My site so far this month has transferred 13.3 GB bandwidth. I'll assure you there is no porn or adult material on my site or pages.

[Technics]

I recommend you go with http://www.tera-byte.com 99mbs and 20gb bandwidth youll have all the room u need to expand.

[Valuablehost]

Hold your horses....

i was just giving an example of what an unlimited/unmetered host may do :)

[Technics]

My horses are in the stable

[neftha]

I asked them what 'unmetered' bandwidth is at readyhosting.com: it's 4gb bandwidth, after that a site will be placed at a slower server and if it happens again, the site will be shutdown.

I replied and asked why they call it unmetered ... curious what they will answer.

me too. Wouldn't surprise me if the email mysteriously got lost between a couple of routers... :D
