As we all know, more web hosting company are all support Unlimited Hosting, like JustHost Web Hosting:

*Unlimited GB's of Space
*Unlimited GB's of Transfer
*Unlimited Domain Hosting
*Unlimited E-Mail Accounts
*Unlimited MySQL Databases

Are they really Unlimited? Let's expose it now.

Today, I use JustHost as example, they support Unlimited web hosting too. Some days ago, my friend buy one hosting from JustHost, as the type of JustPlan,

Besides some unlimited as above say, the hosting support CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL. This is enough to build website and blog, Ohh, also can have one free domain for life if buy JustHost web hosting. What is free domain for life? This mean if you use their web hosting all long the domain will free to use.

We test this justhost hosting after bought , the speed is very quickly, and the control panel adopt newest Cpanel, easy to operate.

How to see Unlimited? You can see in left side of Cpanel when login account. " ∞" !

Can we really unlimited to use, only need $3.95 one month? As i know even dedicated hosting also have limited too.

Then I try to search, and find the secret of unlimited:

Resource Usage

User may not:

Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.

Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.

Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.

Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.

Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.

Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities

Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc

Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes

.....

This means that if your website is found to be utilizing more than 10% of the CPU and memory of the service, we reserve the right to take your site offline.

INODES

The use of more than 50,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 50,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid overusage. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.

Sometimes I want to understand this question why support Unlimited and also Linmited more? I think perhaps these web hosting company have their reasons.

Competition: there have more web hosting company online, because of competition they no way;

Client:Web hosting company in order to support best service for client must need limited too.

If like above reasons I can comprehend these web hosting compay. But we must pay attention to this web hosting use terms before buy.
