I'm starting a new website so I need a good and reliable webhost. Unlimited bandwidth is a must since my site will be a video streaming site. Live support will be appreciated too.
How much monthly bandwidth do you estimate your site will consume? Cause most unlimited hosts will say "unlimited bandwidth" but if you consume more than 10-20gb they'll suspend you... also if they don't suspend you means every single client of theirs is sucking all the bandwidth from their servers which means your site will work slowly and have poor download speed.
I agree, its just a advertising way, if really host provide unlimited bandwidth, than why they suspend sites when a site start using more bandwidth, of-course if a site use unlimited bandwidth it will have load on server, but still host who promise unlimited bandwidth, they suspend or block traffic in that case.
Hello, Unfortunately you won't find both reliable and unlimited together. For a video steaming site you really need to consider a VPS as shared hosting is generally not suitable for video content. Do you have a budget in mind? Regards, Jack
Most unlimited plans these days come with a clause in the ToS that space is unlimited as long as the files are being used *directly* by your website. No storage or anything like that.
Thanks for everyone's replies but I have already gotten Fatcow as my web host. Mod, you can close this thread.
