Its so surprising- Is there a computer in the world which has unlimited Disk? While the answer is well known the human psyche is such that one is ready to get bluffed. Ironically its not that Pakistani customers in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar and Islamabad and other cities of Pakistan are getting into this trap, but it seems a global phenomenon.
To reveal the hidden secrets of unlimited one needs to answer some very basic questions, some of which can be simply answered by an average computer user.
- Is there a computer having unlimited disk space.
- Do the network lines that carry data around the web (optic fiber, cable, copper wire etc) have a infinite capacity?
- Can an INDEFINITE service be offered at a fixed cost.
- Have you ever noticed a dedicated server being sold with an unlimited space on net?
While it may be possible to have space and bandwidth parameters defined and within that offer any number of email address etc as ultimately the space and data transfer would limit the things automatically, Are hosting company fooling customers by listing unlimited plans for space and bandwidth as well? And that too at very low cost with effort to offer cheapest web hosting and domain services.

Watch through the net over and over again, do you find a server being sold with unlimited space?? If NONE, where your site can be hosted with ''unlimited'' space.
Much of it also comes from lack of know how of the web hosting customers about their real requirement in terms of space and bandwidth. Mostly the people in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpidi, Islamabad and Peshawar etc are not familiar with what they need to host simple domain.
The Unlimited web space Plans -- Ethics of Hosting Companies and Dreams of Customers:-.
What than is the myth and secret of unlimited space and bandwidth of the hosting companies in Pakistan or globally.
If you need only one answer, its playing with human psychology. Something like DOUBLE SHAH of Gujranwala, wherein every one while knowing the truth still wants to get bluffed, as it is one dream they want to come true, ‘pay nothing and get everything’ OR pay very little and get most’. Knowingly it may not be very correct approach we like to do it again and again with the hope that we will one day get it and that’s what is played by hosting companies.
Most web sites only consume a very small amount of bandwidth and disk space. My experience after about 7 years in hosting industry is that average usage is 10 times less than the purchased or planned usage.
So a Web hosting companies know it well that can comfortably sell 10 servers space while having one server. That’s what often results in over loading the server and excessive downtimes. Unlimited space and bandwidth is a marketing trick to get business.
A Hosting companies knows that 95% customers will use very little space and bandwidth resources. There are only about 5% (in fact even less than that) who will use excessive resources. Ironically, even most hosting companies will push off even those 5% telling them that their site is using more than shared hosting resources permit.
So for hosting companies offering unlimited space and bandwidth, it’s a win win situation ie most customer use much less resources and the ones who use more resources are told to find another host or hire a dedicated server.
The bluff this works well and one even may say that its not a bluff just a MARKETING TRICK.
To reinforce this MARKETING TRICK hosting companies will use following mechanism:-
- The Limitations of Unlimited Web Space Hosting Plans.
- Most plans that offer unlimited will have some restrictions such as no audio or video downloads.
- What if you are offered 50 GB space with no database and no violation of copy rights and no audio video contents and no undue load on server.
- For unlimited reseller hosting plans..... its pretty handy for hosting companies to use limit for number of domain – ie – Unlimited space, unlimited bandwidth – 30 domains.
