The Truth About Disk Space and Bandwidth
|
Many web hosting companies, both adult and mainstream, attempt to lure in customers with promises of huge amounts of disk space and bandwidth for minimal prices. Beware of these companies.
There's no such thing as unlimited disk space and bandwidth. It's impossible. Just like every computer has a certain amount of disk space, so do servers. Imagine trying to buy a computer with a limitless hard drive!
This is a tactic called overselling. In a nutshell, companies that make extravagant offers are betting on the fact that you'll only use a fraction of the space allotted to you and hiding from you your real limits. If you go over what they consider appropriate usage, your account may be suspended without notice or you may receive unexpected overusage charges.
Please check all hosting service terms and conditions carefully, as this is where they usually hide this information in a way that's difficult for the average consumer to understand.
ANA Hosting Packages provide you real numbers at reasonable prices. Provided your site hosted with us has no streaming video, even our Basic package has more than enough space and bandwidth for most websites.
