Independent review sites like Trustpilot could give you an answer.

Never trust the reviews on Trustpilot as what happens, you post a review (negative or positive) it is first reviewed by trustpilot and if it contains anything they don't like, even if its true they will demand you amend the review before they publish it.
 
This is how a company getting compliant from their client - by offering unlimited / unmetered features, while there's nothing "unlimited" exists.
So, my suggestion - go with a hosting provider who offers services with exact numbers and limits, because you'll be also protected by overselling server resources ;)

You say there is no such thing as unlimited, but you offer

Unlimited traffic
Unlimited hosted websites
Unlimited e-mail accounts
Unlimited FTP accounts
Unlimited databases

Not bad when "unlimited" doesn't exist.

not surprising as he still offers Frontpage on all his plans with cPanel 54.0 which is impossible as Frontpage is no longer supported or available with cPanel/WHM 54.0
 
Our company offer unmetered 1gbps bandwidth with 250Mbps guarantee.
As someone mentioned before: Unmetered resource means you can use as much of that resource Unless you hit another limit.

Well, I never heard our clients have got any issue posting their reviews on Trustpilot once we asked :)
 
Measures for finding perfect web host

There are many measures to figure out a web host is best for hosting web application, below are some of them:

Hosting infrastructure:
Data bases locations
Affordability
Fast support
Client reviews
est.
 
When you see unmetered hosting that could mean its not unmetered at all. If you read their TOS you would need to see if they say about limit fro example: nodes or space used per month.
 
Unmetered / Unlimited is myth. Just stay way from such plans. High bandiwidth means high usage of resources. Imagine hosting google.com on shared hosting, will hosting provider will able to handle the traffic?

More nonsense from the peanut gallery. You can't host Google.com on a 5 GB plan either, does that mean 5 GB plans are a myth? Any site suitable for a shared hosting environment will work just as well on an unlimited plan as on a limited plan.

There is no "law of hosting" that forces shared hosting provider to carve out a series of telescoping hosting plans, defined by step-wise increases in quota limits, and then force the consumer to choose between them now -- and perhaps upgrade later.

Here is an example on how it works in real life:

Suppose your host has a 2 GB, 5 GB and 10 GB plan. You sign up for a 2 GB hosting plan. Now let's suppose your site grows to 3 GB. What happens? Your limited host will either:

- Suspend your site when you hit the 2GB limit
- Charge you a premium for going over the 2GB limit
- Ask you to upgrade to the 5 GB plan, with a new bigger limit
- Maybe all the above

What happens with the unlimited hosting? Nothing! Your site goes from 2.0 GB to 3 GB without penalty, threats of suspension, additional charges or forced upgrade. That is what unlimited hosting is all about!

in this situation all our plans rather that when they hit their limit they are faced with a warning page until their next billing period is

if they go over their allocated allowances then we charge them 0.0020p per MB (in effect £2 per GB).
If they want to increase their plan to stop it from going over then we will charge them £1 per month per GB or £4 per 5GB, but if an increase pushes them into the price bracket of the next hosting plan then we suggest they consider upgrading the plan.

Does the warning page block the website?
 
Well actually I agree with everyone else. For unmetered bandwidth , you need to read first the TOS since if you only use the shared hosting but really consumes alot of bandwidth more than what they put as limit this would also affect other clients. So most of the time you will be offered another plan to increase more bandwidth suitable for your site.

What is the difference between the TOS of host with metered bandwidth and the TOS of host with unmetered (or unlimited) bandwidth. Please provide a real example.

most hosts will have something like this in their TOS
