So, I was browsing a few forums, and I stumbled upon this:

"Unlimited", until it hit the limit.
LOL

No it's not. If it's Free hosting, they could just set the file-size limit to 2mb, limit file-types and put advertising. Then any site big enough to use say 50gb in space and 5000gb in bandwidth is making them a killing in ad revenue, if you were the host do you think you would suddenly want to limit the size of the website rather than buy another server for it so it keeps making you money?

And if your website becomes as big and successful as Google then the hosting company is making BILLIONS from your "free" site!!!!

Just like Rapidshare, etc. You think Rapidshare ever says a file is using too much bandwidth and removes it? I think not!

It's certainly more possible and more logicial than unlimited hosting at dreamhost or another paid host.

"Unlimited" does not exist...period. Yet another ridiculous hosting offer.

I haven't uploaded anything on my account, and I wouldn't upload I signed up just for test what they got

Again, do you think Rapidshare ever says "that file is using too much bandwidth"? Or will they buy a whole new server and dedicate its entire bandwith to it so they keep earning from their ads? I'm guessing they do the latter.

Why would a host who's earning from advertising on your site EVER limit your space or bandwidth?

I don't really think you understand what everyone here means. We have no issue with unmetered as long as there is a limit (such as port speed) defined. But unlimited is literally impossible.

[wswd]

And with potentially thousands of users on a server, sharing the given port, unmetered simply doesn't work with shared/reseller hosting.

But for byethost, in this case, it is possible, as byethost is running their vistapanel reseller hosting on a huge cluster.
But then again, I believe you all know all the limits that byethost had set for the free hosting accounts. everything is closed, which it is just as good as for hosting some html files only...
