more info on web hosting scams

C) Hosting Term Contracts.
This is where you sign your life away for a long -term commitment hoping the service you expect is everything you were told. See reason #2 above.

With the exception of very custom high-end dedicated server solutions that are build especially for the customer, term contracts in this industry are history so don't be talked into signing one.

D) "Unlimited" Bandwidth. Or unlimited anything forthat matter.
Think about this, with the exception of Outer Space itself (and perhaps love), everything has a limit. Without being too literal the word "unlimited" in the hosting industry really means that there is no set number that can define the limit, and the real limit is determined by other factors.

Most providers who advertise unlimited bandwidth use that "feature" to suck prospects in and make a quick sale knowing that only about 1% of Websites will ever use a large enough amount of bandwidth to cause problems for them.

These unfortunate 1% are simply told that their sites are either "killing the server" or given another excuse as why they cannot host them.
