Unlimited Storage, Limited Bandwidth?

[Passion]

Has anybody saw hosts which offer "unlimited" disk storage, but a limited amount of bandwidth?
Why would a company offer unlimited disk storage, but NOT bandwidth? You'd think it would be the other way around, as you can get unmetered servers, but not "unlimited" hard drives.

people offer unlimited to make you stupid enough to belive it and if you end up using let say space 20gb and 500gb bandwidth you most likly to get kicked off

Marketing tricks?

[wonkxags]

Offering 'unlimited space or bandwidth' are not somehow that much marketing strategies as web hosts simply don't put any upper limit on space or bandwidth. They keep increasing them gradually when customer's requirements increase.

What hosting provider does this? It sounds a bit strange to me

[DoctorX]

Unlimited storage = 20 GB maximum.

"unlimited/unmetered" in shared hosting business simply does not exist - theres always a limit

[Hostinpk.com]

Although most of the hosts offers unlimited but You should now that everything has a limit. So, don't exceed limits otherwise you have to move anywhere else.

Its only a trick and sadly there are people who belive and buy hosting from that company
