    Hi all
    im faysal from pakistan

    I dont know where to post this thats why posting here
    if mod think it must be in some other catagary then please move it.
    I m sorry for that


    Now question is
    one year back, i come across an add that says

    we provide hosting
    with unlimited space
    unlimited email
    unlimeted Bandwidth
    unlimited SQL
    Unlimited FTP and lots more like this

    then i called them and bought that package.
    When i set up my site, they says we dont allow File downloads,
    we dont allow MP3 files,
    we dont allow this, that and much more

    so i just wana ask that why unlimited space
    for my simple html files?

    another thing i wana ask that i wana start a website that hosts images like imagehack.us
    where i should buy the package that provide my requirements
    and what requerements.

    third thing i wana ask that i have seen many websites that provide Adult contents like pictures, videos and other stuff, but every hosting company says adult contents are not allowed, then how they works.


    Please reply
    Regards

    What was allowed or not allowed on the server should be disclosed BEFORE you make the purchase. These rules usually hide under the terms "TOS, terms of service" or AUP, acceptable use policy.

    It is quiet common for the rampant overselling hosts to place all kinds of restrictions on your use of the space or bandwidth. It is your responsibility to seperate the BS for the real offers.

    The old adage, "if it sounds to good to be true, it most likey isn't" applies to to all thing and hosting in particular.

    Sorry about your problem. Just use it a lesson learned and move on.
