“No host will let you use 100Gb of disk space and 1000GB of transfer”, problem is that no one believes you until it happens to them.

I have really bad experiences with small but cheap hosting companies. They don’t tell you upfront what the limits are and you just wake up with the website down.

That is interesting. I don’t know if I could even attempt to fill up my web provider’s given amount of space. It would take a lot. Sometimes its important though. I run an online store and need Magento so that takes a lot of space. I use a company called http://www.beanstalksolarhosting.com

I exceeded the limit of a host. But had just 50 MB there. It’s very funny the 500 TB (joking) hostings plans are mostly american. And we Europeans think of them that they have to make everything gigantic, also for hostings.

A Britisch or a German provider will give you an amount between 50 and 1000 MB AND will limit the amount of sql databases.

I don’t care so much as long as the hosting is fast and that becomes quickly a problem, indeed.

thank you for posting

thank you ..
Personally, I think more is better. If the host can’t fulfill the needs of their clients, it’s on them.

That is a good questin! Customers are always pretend to be unsatisfied. When you say you can offer ***GB space to him, and he must reply like this: this space can not stand for my price, because xxx company offer bigger disk space for me and at the same price.

See, that is the skill they want you to reduce the price. But do keep on at your price if you think you can offer them more than the price.

I personally do not believe bigger disk makes senses.That depands what website you are going to build. If my planing website do not needs so much big disk space, why should i ask so much? It will waste my money.

Next time you meet such “greed” customer, and you can tell him that your price desert your products. That is it.

Excellent post! Honestly. You hit the nail on the head.

When I was trying to find my first web host, I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for. I still remember the first time I saw something like 10GB/1000GB, I gasped thinking what a great deal. Then I REALLY started looking into hosting and researching it, that’s when I realized what a load of trash that claim was. I’ve read so many accounts of webmasters frustrated because of CPU limits.

The basic moral of the story is that you should be looking into other features and service rather than something as silly as bandwidth. Again, wonderful post.

Unfortunately the promise of large capacity, high bandwidth plans the oversellers are pitching to the consumer is here to stay. The best way to combat deception is a powerful message of truth. Articles like this are a start. The deceptive companies are counting on an uninformed and naive public to keep the mindset “bigger is better”.

Keep up the good work.
