My favorite analogy for customers who tell me they found a better deal (unlimited for what they were paying now, etc...) is the:

Assume you walk into a store, Best Buy, Walmart, Sears, whatever. You tell the associate that you'd like to buy the biggest fridge they have, and the associate says they have one available that holds UNLIMITED amounts of food and requires only 2sq feet in your kitchen, and that you can have it delivered for just $100 - cash, directly to the sales associate, but you have to pay for it all up front, and you don't get to see it first. Would you give the associate $100 cash?

Nothing is FREE in the world, if people offer you unlimited bandwidth or unlimited disk space, do not signup, this company will not last long in the market.

Most of the unethical hosts use Unlimited bandwidth as a selling point, I wonder any of them offering Unlimited disk space...

Hi Ya'll,

It makes me sick that a company can mislead and use a customer. Yes, some consumers are stupid I have to admit; however, how could you put service, profits, and someone's business at risk because you want to seel unlimited things for $15.99.

No one hurts but the client. In return, can hurt many other things too.

When I started my company a couple days ago, a friend of mine was making fun of my packages and I was like, "Why?", his response, "I get hosting from this guy I know and everything is unlimited for only $10 a month!" I laughed really hard and I wished him the best of luck. Maybe I should of told him that his unlimited hosting would not be lasting too long.

I think most people now are aware that these hosts who offer unlimited space and bandwidth are just lying to their customers, though unfortunately there are still who aren't aware yet. Often they would have to learn it the hard way, with their account being terminated or charged a lot, for excessive use or exceeding the limit. But how can one exceed a limit when there was no limit in the first place?! :<
