Default Unlimited Space?

Why are there so many hosts now that are offering unlimited resources? everyone should know that there isn't such thing as unlimited hosting resources

Obviously they offer free hosting to attract customers . But once their servers run out of space and their bandwidth is reached they can't offer more than that. I guess they don't think their customers will use much space/bandwidth.

The main reason ofcourse is to attract costumers plus they don't think every costumer they get will use all his bandwitch and thats way they are saying that.

That is merely a promotional gimmick. See we can't offer such things forever it would not be good for business. And don't rely to much if those kinds of ads because i never believed in unlimlited resources.

They are doing that as a sort of marketing gimmick. We all know that unlimited hosting is not really possible except maybe on your own server.

What happens if a customer on purpose uses all their bandwidth so they get what they deserve

this wil not happen because if he uses high bandwidth they will just suppend his account saying that he violate something from the small letters of their tos.

It is like yahoo mail, most users didn't even use 15 mb, but now they offer 'unlimited'.

Be careful, most 'unlimiteds' are scams. Or they have impossible resticting TOS laws.
