Haha that is so true! U get lame web hosts that’s offering unlimited bandwidth and space. And when you go over a certain amount they come with a story and moun in your ears to pay extra. I don’t even want to start with unlimited space LOL!!

I have written many posts on unlimited space/bandwidth, however I never thought to cover the 99.99% uptime guarantee myth. You just gave me the idea for one of my next blog posts.

I have read this post and actually, after reading it, I just laughed…

Because all of it was true, web hosting providers should not use “unlimited” to attract customers. I dont know what word will exactly describe it but, as a web hosting provider, we really can promise an unlimited disk space and bandwidth. Although we have those packages that states what bandwidth and disk space you can use, but once you exceeded the quota, you will receive a notification that you have exceeded this and that. We will then charge you for that. And advice you to upgrade to much higher plan.

By the way, we are located in the Philippines but we also target those “soon to be clients” outside the country.

Anyway, Sir David, I suggest, you also put the myth about, 24/7 support…

Not all web hosting providers provide that kind of service. Some just dont provide phone support, email, just online ticketing system that will reply to your inquiry and then nothing was done.

In choosing a web hosting provider, a real technical support must answer all the problems that the client will encounter.

Thanks Sir David for this wonderful article, it made me laugh actually…
