How about unlimited badwidth?

[exe problems]

What's your poinht about the unlimited bandwidth? Is it a real parameter ot just a trick?

Can there be companies offering really unlimited solutions?

Unlimited is not possible in any aspect of life and there is nothing without limits. Unlimited is not possible because bandwidth is a commodity that someone needs to pay for eventually. The term unlimited is only a marketing strategy, go through the TOS of companies offering unlimited space or bandwidth and you will find some restrictions after all nothing in the world is unlimited.

There is nothing like unlimited.everything is bounds in its limits, same case in bandwidth.unlimited bandwidth is not possible.

Unlimited bandwidth cannot be offered. Its just a trick to attract new customers. If the hosting provider is offering you Unlimited bandwidth then he might be blocking your port speed. He might provide you with a very slow port speed, so even its advertised as “Unlimited” you won't be able to use more bandwidth This will result in slow loading of your website and might hamper your rankings and business. So you must check the port speed in this case or opt for Limited bandwidth with fixed port speed and add more bandwidth if required.

Webhosting providers use the term "Unlimited" to catch prospect attention, so as to convert them into clients. Providing unlimited bandwidth is practically not possible. You can get a a good amount of bandwidth if you opt for a dedicated server.

First of all, we have to establish one thing here. I'm not necessarily talking about bandwidth in the sense of speed of transmission or data transmission rate (bits/second), which is the correct definition for the term "bandwidth". I'm mainly talking about the so called bandwidth which measures the total amount of transmitted data (bits).



This whole misuse of the term bandwidth probably has its causes in the fact that most packages come with a specified amount of Gigabytes/month. Some might have considered it to be the same thing as bandwidth because the it is measured in bits/second. But who really knows?
Still, in order to be clear and rigorous I must make a clear distinction between terms. Bandwidth means data transfer rate, which is a speed - the speed of transferring data. Hence unlimited bandwidth would mean, in other words, an infinite speed when transferring data. This does not exist. Speeds are limited in our world. For example we (or at least most of us) believe that the speed of light is the ultimate speed of anything in this universe. However, the speed of light is limited, not unlimited.
Back to definitions, when most hosting companies refer to bandwidth in their shared/reseller hosting packages they actually mean "data transfer", not "data transfer rate". They state for example 5GB of bandwidth, meaning that you'll be allowed to transfer 5GB of data, usually within a period of time of one month. This is the data transfer that you are allowed to use (or consume), the amount of data that is transmitted, not the speed at which it is or can be transmitted.
With that taken out of our way, I will say that the unlimited bandwidth issue is one of the most sensitive and controversial issues in the web hosting industry. Many web hosting companies actually offer unlimited bandwidth (in the sense of data transfer) in their hosting packages. The thing that really boggles the mind is perhaps that they offer it at a fixed price. Can you put a fixed price on something unlimited? In fact, the very idea of unlimited in a limited world seems... well... rather impossible.

Thanks, I got it. Thanks again for your information. Hope we can learn with each other and make progress.
