    Yes, there are not limit. But only if your site doesn't abuse the system. Most cheap hosting service with no limit, for example, you cannot host a website like file hosting service and all other site that consume huge space and bandwidth.

    Definitely not, most companies oversell their servers.

    I wrote an quite long blogpost about this topic for an german blog, but don't have an english version avilable so here is the short from.

    there is no unlimited hosting as the hardware already has limits

    Yes, there is limits. Also if you making a webhost, its been proved that saying big numbers is more effective. Such as:

    Bandwidth: 2500GB
    Bandwidth: Unlimited

    The Person always goes for 2500GB as it looks more practical and doesn't look like a scam!

    Well,I think this niche should be understood like that:For shared web hosting,hundreds of people share one server resource.If one user
    abuses the resource,others will be definitely affected.But if you don't affect others and use the server resource rationally ,we won't set
    any arbitary limit on the key resources you can use.That's unlimited.
