Unlimited Bandwidth?

Why we don't offer unlimited bandwidth like some other places

Also see the Overselling page on Wikipedia. Note the part about "If a customer wishes to run a high-traffic, professional, or business website an oversold hosting account can be detrimental." The professional or business website where availability is important is our market. Amateur or vanity pages where the site can be unavailable for large periods of time are not.

If a site is popular, then it is successful and can afford a small bandwidth fee. Why should other sites subsidize them?

Also, even though serving web pages doesn't put much of a load on a server, that popular site is consuming the resources of the server and slow down the other sites on the machine that aren't using much bandwidth at all. Wouldn't you rather be with a company that is receiving enough to buy more hardware and bandwidth when necessary?

Sure, you can have unlimited bandwidth...as much as that 386 hosting 1,000,000 websites can consume...<evil grin>

Also, read your agreement with them. From one cheap domain hosting sign-up page:

...

Virtually Unlimited Bandwidth (Hits) * 
Virtually Unlimited Storage (Megabytes) * 

...

* Storage and bandwidth are provided on an as needed basis.

...

Do you have to ask them for more bandwidth and storage? And how long does that take? From the same hosting service, talking about setting up the account.
