The Truth Behind Unlimited Web Hosting

The Truth Behind Unlimited Web Hosting

There are some words that always sound compelling and most of us do not feel the need of delving into the depths of these terms. In web hosting, such terms would include “unlimited” and “free” at the foremost. “Unlimited Web Hosting”, sounds alluring. But unlimited what? Bandwidth or unlimited web hosting offered by the free web hosts? Let’s see how far we can relate the word unlimited with all of them.

Unlimited web hosting for free : A large number of companies offer unlimited web hosting services for free. But what you get for free, makes you pay somewhere else. Free web hosting is not always harmful, but at the same time, it is even not very suitable for all type of businesses and persons.


Unlimited web hosting that you get for free, makes your website pay for it. It may be by the downtimes that your website faces or the spam that it has to cope up with, it may be through the deprivation of quality control or through the slow loading times. A proper investigation is imperative when you look for the best unlimited web hosting for free.


Unlimited web hosting is mostly offered by the shared hosting servers. The upside of shared hosting is its cost effectiveness, but the downside is the low security level. SSL or TLS shields are also not much effective in this respect as websites have the same IP address and the same SSL/TLS certificate. In shared hosting, knowing your neighbors with whom you share the server is crucial. The free unlimited web hosting is best for small business sites and family websites.


One important aspect of unlimited web hosting plans is that most of the time they are set up under a single account. So if you want different web masters to host different websites of yours, a security risk may arise by sharing the same password. One more negative aspect would be the “unlimited” number of ads that your host may put up in your site. But looking up at the fairer side, unlimited web hosting plans might be a decent deal for businesses that wish to operate multiple websites without keeping separate plans for each.


Unlimited Bandwidth: Now that’s more of a myth than a truth. Have you ever come across a hard disk with unlimited disk space? Or a broadband company offering unlimited megabytes per second? If these are not possible how could a hosting company offer unlimited bandwidth? Their “unlimited bandwidth” may be 20GB as per their terms and conditions!!


A very little amount of bandwidth is needed by some sites, and the hosting companies offering unlimited bandwidth target these website. And somehow if these sites too use more than the “unlimited”, either they will be made to pay through something or the other or the hosting account might get suspended.

Effectiveness of Web Hosting Directories

Effectiveness of Web Hosting Directories

So you have created the ultimate website and cannot wait to display it on the World Wide Web. You are now on the look out for a good quality web hosting company to achieve this. When you dig around a bit more, you will find that web hosting directories are a good source of finding a reliable hosting company. So what exactly is a web-hosting directory?

Web hosting directory can be best described as a web-hosting marketplace where prospective hosts list their products, plans, prices and other important web hosting related information so that potential customers can choose a web hosting company that befits their requirements. Most of the web-hosting directories also rank these companies to make the selection process more convenient. Now, almost everyone out thee would be a tad skeptical about the reliability of these web-hosting directories. So are these directories really trustworthy and should novices take this approach towards choosing the right web-hosting company? For this, we need to first understand the working of a web-hosting directory.

There are essentially two types of web-hosting directories: Paid web hosting directories and free web hosting directories.

For the paid directories, the web hosting company is required to pay a certain amount of fee for placing their ads, banners or listings on the site. They may even pay a certain amount of commission to these websites if they acquire customers through these directories.

The free web-hosting directories on the their hand are completely free and web hosting companies can place their listings or ads free of cost on these websites.

Seemingly, the paid web hosting directories cannot always be relied upon as the rankings of the companies on these directories can always be manipulated through unfair means. The rankings could therefore be biased.

Free web hosting directories are relatively more reliable. However, it is advisable to rely on these rankings only if they are based on genuine and unbiased reviews of the customers. Remember, you can tell a promotional review from an unbiased review, as a promotional review would feature only positive comments about the web-hosting company.

The above notwithstanding, it is also important to take note of the fact that web-hosting directories prove to be a source of information if the potential customer wants to perform a price, feature and service comparison between various web-hosting companies. It is however advisable to view and refer other sources of information like forums, blogs etc. in order to make an intelligent decision. Making a well-informed decision will eliminate the future risk factors as well as help you to lap up on various web hosting information, its various aspects, features, tools and application as well as the range of pricing structures in the hosting industry.

So while web-hosting directories can be an effective source of information, one has to weigh various aspects before completely on the information and try to validate that information by performing a thorough research about the web hosting companies that you are interested in registering with.
