I think the technology is irrelevant as it exists already.
Its the actual term that will remain impossible. How do you "implement" something that has unlimited resources? Everything has its limit.

Your post shows a fundamental of your lack of knowledge on this issue.
Look up the definition of unlimited.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OFFER.

Why is this so hard to grasp.

You can add more hard drives all you want. You do not have the resource to add unlimited drives because they don't exist. PERIOD.

There is no such think as unlimited bandwidth. PERIOD.

Anyone who offers is is a liar. Anyone who offers it is not honest with their clients.

I agree with you ..I also feel the same ..there is a limit in hosting business there is no such term called unlimited.
 
Yep, no such thing. No offense to any hosts here that offer "unlimited" space and bandwidth, but you are making your self look bad. Now a days people are getting smarter about choosing the right host and people see "unlimited" space and bandwidth it makes them run away. An honest with good support will get far; A host who decieves will only get so far before things start to crumble.

This is right the unlimited space and bandwidth is scaring people away from the host that offer this.
 
Some of the largest hosts out there are offering unlimited resources, so I would disagree that it is scaring anyone away.
 
That is becuase they are still getting those who have no clue. Majority of the time I see people who get screwed over becuase they actually believe they can use the package they bought and instead the host tells them to move or upgrade. That is when they realize they need to find a better host who does not oversell.
 
I offer 'unmetered' dedicated servers with the description that unmetered means the client can use as much bandwidth as they can manage on their 100mbps ports.

This in reality could be re-written as:
50tb per month

maths:

100mbit/s=~10mb/s
(10mb/s x 60secs x 60mins x 24hrs x 30days = ~25tb, then double this as these connections are full duplex, IE 100mbps in+100mbps out, or 25tb in+25tb out)

Obviously though from a marketing perspective these days offering unmetered sounds better than offering with a bandwidth limit, even if its high.

I would never offer 'unlimited' as previously discussed, this does not, and cannot feasibly exist, their will always be some limitation.

Unless the company own their own personal internet service provider (ISP) and their own data center then there is no way the can truly be unlimited.

Even then your resources are limited - finite limits are a reality. Unlimited is a marketing strategy.
 
No offense here, but if you are actually in the hosting business you should know better.
Do you have any idea how a data center works?
 
yeah nothing is "unlimited" and whoever tells you so has just used a marketing tactic on you which worked.

Unlimited disk space is not possible as storage devices has limitations, and unlimited bandwidth is possible

Really? How so?

Unless the company is a hosting provider AND an ISP, and they use the ISP lines purely for the company, then it would be possible.

However, that would not be economically feasible.
 
you wouldn't be able to host the entire world's traffic at that 1 ISP or host so they obviously couldn't handle "unlimited" anything.

They might be able to offer unlimited traffic if they have unmetered lines but unlimited storage and especially unlimited resource usage (cpu and memory) is not possible with current technologies. Not at shared hosting prices.
