Server Power

    What is server power as compared to bandwidth? One free hosting site was promising unlimited bandwidth, but the server power would be limited.

    When you find such limitations its pretty clear you are not going to get anything unlimited as there is no such thing as unlimited when it comes to server, its all fake marketing tack-tic

    Hello there,

    By server power I believe they are referring to the allowed CPU cycles (and perhaps memory) usage limits per site/user on the server. By throttling this your website will only be able to use a small amount of the servers total resources, thus allowing the use of "unlimited" bandwidth, as your site will be limited by other means.

    Regards,
    Chris

    In the case you are talking about, they would limit the amount of CPU processing power you can use. This would essential makes your sites slower when they are busy and when you are using more than the allotted amount of CPU. You'd be better off with a host that does not limit your CPU usage but limits the amount of bandwidth you use as you most likely do not need as much as you probably think.
