| Posted by kshazad86, 05-20-2011, 05:55 PM | | Just wanted to know whether people looking for a reseller hosting plan prefer the first option or second?
1.) Unlimited Space and Traffic, but limit on the no.of accounts
2.) Unlimited Websites, but limits on the bandwidth and traffic
Which option would you prefer?

| Posted by elicitservers, 05-20-2011, 06:08 PM | | I'm not looking for hosting however my personal opinion would be the 2nd option...I'd rather be able to host as many sites as possible, because if you're limited on the number of accounts/sites, the chances are likely that you won't be able to make use of that "unlimited" space/traffic unless you really have a popular site (then you have other things to worry about)

| Posted by Flumps, 05-20-2011, 06:42 PM | | If my advice is worth anything I personally would stay away from both lets face it...
Unlimited Space
Unlimited Accounts
either way you look at that or word it theres no such thing as unlimited and eventually always with hosts like these your going to come across issues.
in short: Stay Away.
out.

| Posted by Manjusha4serveradmin, 05-21-2011, 02:28 AM | | unlimited is just a gimmick to fool people
|
| Posted by Aniqa, 05-21-2011, 02:29 AM | | I'd go with the option 2. There's nothing like unlimited space. What are they gonna do if I decide to upload some 100000 TB of data? Its very unrealistic.

| Posted by prashant1979, 05-21-2011, 03:09 AM | | Read the ToS and AUPs before going for unlimited hosting packages.
|
| Posted by HostXNow_Chris, 05-21-2011, 06:39 AM | | You would need unlimited diskspace and bandwidth to have unlimited websites.
|
| Posted by ModelWebHost, 05-21-2011, 09:40 AM | | 2nd option will be more better than 1st one because you can handle unlimited accounts in a limited space. This can easily done because most of the users uses less then a GB space and a reseller with a good space can handle for you.
|
| Posted by relichost, 05-21-2011, 03:19 PM | | 100 % behind option 2, most people think unlimited everything is very good until they breach some limit like inodes or CPU usage, which are very well hidden in the small print of said providers...
Good luck

| Posted by Resellerid, 05-23-2011, 04:09 AM | | Is unlimited bandwidth hosting as good as it sounds? Typically, whenever you decide to buy hosting space, you look for two things – bandwidth and hosting space. Hosting space is the size of space you get, in GB (gigabytes) to host your website, while bandwidth is number of bytes you get to transfer your site’s web pages to your visitors when they browse your site. Bandwidth is calculated on a monthly basis. Things like images, texts, flash etc consume bandwidth and that’s why hosting space as well as bandwidth is chargeable. Unlimited bandwidth web hosting allows you have more visitors on your website without the scare of excess traffic crashing your site.

|
| Posted by johnwho, 05-23-2011, 11:44 AM | | I go with the option 2 because its realistic than that "unlimited" thing. As some earlier poster said. Unlimited is just a "gimmick"
