    Sure!

    They are government accounts and exist only to help you.
    They have already mailed your bail out check, it is in the mail.

    What do you think?

    You can get unmetered bandwith but not unmetered space for sure. You can get 500gb space though

    Unmetered space is possible in the sense that you are allowed to use all the space available.
    Ie, if the hard disk is 500 GB , you can use all the 500 GB, The host providing unmetered hosting will not put any restriction of diskspace usage.
    Many people describe "unmetered" in many way ( wrong ways )

    Unlimited space and bandwidth only exist in Wonderland. Isn't it common sense that the capacity of the Internet pipe is limited and that hard disk space are limited. Even Google with its massive datacenters still have a limit for its Gmail. Not practical to think of even that. Estimated your requirements and look for a reputable company. You get what you pay for.

    Hi,

    You can get dedicated (guaranteed) bandwidth or shared un-metered.

    Since hard drives aren't produced with unlimited storage, You won't find a host that will provide unlimited disk for dedicated servers.

    well even if you do get a server with multiple 500g drives... in most cases you will probably never even use close to half of the space...

    All I will say is Caveat emptor
    Just make sure you read those terms of service before getting hosting anywhere

    When you find someone who sells hard drives with unlimited space then I am interested also!

    It would be great to get an unlimited hard disk :)

    It would also be great to get an infinite sized pipe. Most top end servers generally have 2x 1Gig NIC's in them - which once again is finite.

    Anyway, best of luck going with any host who offers unlimited anything - the only thing unlimited in this circumstance is the stupidity of the buyer.

    lol. precisely. you can add upto 4 x 1TB drives on a server, and when that limit exceeds you can get another load balancing server and so on. Even wikia, supposed to be the largest hosting company in the world, hosting really huge wikis including wikipedia and uncyclopedia use only 300 servers. Even they do not need unlimited space :). 1200TB?

    Be very careful of providers that offer a lot of bandwidth and disk space for a low price.

    All of those providers are overselling which means they can't really provide the kind of bandwidth and space you desire. Usually they will cancel your account once you start costing them money.

    Companies depend on you not to use that much bandwidth and disk space which is why they offer those kinds of plans.

    I recommend looking at a dedicated or VPS Server to avoid those problems.

    Unlimited Hosting is a marketing trick made used by many hosting companies.

    There is no such thing as unlimited.

    I only offer Unlimited Hosting because the other hosting companies do; and it is hard to compete against someone offering unlimited when you are limited.

    My hosting plans have a cap of 1TB storage and 750GB monthly bandwidth... After that we dont suspend the account, we email you and discuss a plan revision.

    Regards,
    Mike
