My hosting expires after 6 months, I have been their customer for more than 4 years and brought around 20 customers to them and now I’m taking them all away after their hosting expires. ******* bastards will learn how to make business, and won’t just shout around NO LIMIT and then after a while limit you all the way. Not only number of files but everything… The only thing which is “unlimited” right now is Monthly Bandwidth Transfer and nothing else. For how long? 1 more month? If you don’t believe me try to add “unlimited” anything you want… Some things will clock you after 100 adds, some at 1000,…

I am now searching alternative hostings (even those who don’t have unlimited) as long as they are fair and offer what they say…

@David M

Of course it is impossible to give unlimited plans.

When I registered hosting with them, the didn’t have unlimited plans (their plan is limited by storage and bandwidth/month). Happy with that for 2 years, I continue extending my hosting with them.

But suddenly, everyone gets “unlimited” plans, but the start limiting the number of files for everyone.

What do you expect for 7 dollars a month? The servers that host your sites cost Money and these unlimited plans either can’t be sustained or there is fine print rules. Either way there is no such thing as unlimited. There are unlimited plans, but in the providers world they have given the word unlimited a new definition.

Always read the TOS before paying and furthermore realize that hosting 1000 users on one server unlimited is logically impossible.

There are two types of hosting

a) lie up front to get your business and tell you about limits later
b) honest up front might not get you business

Eather case there are limits

Hope this helps

@neeraj, by the way, all these “top web hosting” sites are in cahoots. You can’t trust them. The ratings are made up. It’s practically a cartel.

Yeah, it’s a bit of a scam to claim all this “unlimited” stuff and have such a strict limit on number of files. So let’s see, my login area says I can use up to 15360000 MB of space, and at 50,000 files that averages about 307 MB per file, or half a CD. I understand that they can’t literally offer “unlimited” space, but what if they limited you to 1 file? But the space is unlimited! If they have a restriction on number of files, they should advertise that. Unlimited space implies unlimited files.
