Most of the web hosting companies will provide you with unlimited features. These unlimited features include – unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space, and unlimited email accounts. While reputed and popular companies are offering such unlimited plan, on the other hand, there are articles and forums that suggest avoiding such offers of unlimited features.
Now the question remains, should we opt for one or not?
Well, the answer is very simple. Yes, you should avail the offer. It will help you save money as well. For instance, if a service provider offers you a feature of unlimited disk space, you are free from the tension of running out of space for your web files.
Unlimited Email Accounts
The famous saying goes like this—with great powers, comes great responsibilities. When you have unlimited features, you need to be careful as well. Most of us are shocked and come with a question—can we really create unlimited email accounts? Even if the answer is positive, will you be able to manage those accounts?
Unlimited Web Sites
Can you really have unlimited websites? Well, we are not sure of this. Even if you create a single website, the most painful part is the promotion of the website. The success of the website is decided on the factors such as visitor traffic, search engine ranking, and much more. Most of the people do not have the time to promote more than a couple of websites.
Unlimited Disk Space
Unlimited disk space is of no use if you do not have a good speed for your connection. For instance, if you have a speed of 8Kbps, then it will consume your 24 hours to upload 13Mb of data and by the end of the year, you would have consumed only 25GB of your disk space.
Unlimited Bandwidth
The same logic can be applied for unlimited bandwidth as we have applied for disk space. It all depends on the connection speed. Technically, there is no limit for usage of the bandwidth, but you just cannot use much due to poor connection speed.
So, when you are looking for an unlimited feature plan for your website, you need to cross check if the company is giving following features with no limits in the plan.
