But at the end of the day their will always be a limit, too much traffic then server slows down and eventually will be killedYes, there is no problem if the provider's hosting server is hosted in a datacenter that does not have traffic restrictions.

also financial implications as you could be paying $200 a month for your server, and list an unlimited plan for $20 a month which means in effect you are allowing a client to use the whole of your $200 server for $20Exactly this and not only this, as say if the provider has a 1Gb/s uplink on the server then the most that can be pushed through it is ~10.5TB a day or 10Gb/s at ~105TB a day (very rough, without overheads calculation). There is always going to be limits.
that depends as std of you exceeds b/w or space your site would be down with a notice to say it is offline until next monthly period, but you can also set up in cpanel a way that when i site exceeds b/w or space rather than site going down the site owner is charged extra per mbThere is no unlimited hosting ever, if you exceed the limits of space or bandwidth, your sites will be down.
It depends on the hosting provider. We provide truly unlimited bandwidth, who would limit data transfer these days?
Yeah, this is what most providers do. But it's a marketing strategy, and at the end of the day, it works out for most people.Hi, What do you guys think about this issue? I have worked with many companies, but in the end, they always say that I need
to upgrade my package.
One of our hosting brands has a few clients that took it too far by using us as their backup server or to place all of their exe files on. It got out of hand and we had to request them to clean it up or take further action by upgrading packages or terminating them.Yeah, this is what most providers do.

They do this because most of the time, you don't end up using at least 5GB on a small website anyway. So they just call it 'Unlimited'.
I haven't had an experience where a provider hasn't stopped me for using too much resources. They have always stopped me.
There is always a limit as lets say you pay $200 pm for a server, so say you list a Unlimited Space and bandwidth plan for $10 pm. in effect you are saying someone can take out the $10pm plan and use the whole of the $200pm server for their $10.I think its important to note the way that some providers use the terms unlimited and dedicated.
Unlimited is often twisted into a version of an oversold "shared" connection. The terms of this "unlimited" bandwidth offer is a misnomer and is used to mislead you into signing up and moving your business. Moving your business requires downtime, which in this industry is something people try to avoid so once they have you, you leaving becomes less likely. As others have mentioned, unlimited doesn't truly exist. The connection will always have a maximum that it can do over a 24/7 period. The trick is to read the providers AUP or TOS and find their "fair use" policy which generally will list your "real" limit before you are hit with excessive charges or throttled.
If you truly want unlimited bandwidth (up to the limits of the connection of course), then you want a dedicated line. There is a reason dedicated bandwidth is more costly, because it should not be oversold.
