Well, it is really not possible to offer Unlimited web hosting. As a web hosting package is setup on a Dedicated server and every Dedicated server has some limit and it will never be possible to setup 20 accounts on the same server with 10 GB disk space if the server has 160 GB disk space. Unlimited web hosting packages are never available and this is only written to attract customers which finally cancel there account as the account is never worth it. This practice is called as Overselling which means selling what is not available

Unlimited Webhosting shows the company oversells, there are many online webhosting companies who claim "Unlimited Disk space" which is in all seriousness impossible

I can't believe that anyone can claim Unlimited Disk Space and he is true in what is being claimed. Yes, providing Free Hosting can be possible, however, unlimited hosting can be allowed on paper not in real!

Correct, many people fall for it though. There are also web hosting companies out there who charge $4.95 which is around £3.25 for 500GB Disk space per month and 10GB bandwidth, they have become very successful from this even though it's outlined in their terms that they will only receive a fraction of the 500GB.

They put shame to the webhosting industry from my perspective

All the oversellers are making money because only few clients bother to read their TOS and when such clients run short of space or bandwidth, at that time the company force them to read the TOS and finally these clients are out in the market in search of new web hosting provider.

That's great. The replies to this post clearly means that Unlimited Web hosting does not exist and I am sure that you won't go for Unlimited Web hosting. Infact, you won't think about it

Do you think a Free web hosting provider will give you in writing on a Legal document that he will provide Unlimited web hosting to you ?

That's really funny Caroline!

By "paper" I meant it can be just on the Web Pages and not the Legal documents.

Well, you should have mentioned that clearly as this creates a lot of confusion. When I read it first, it was like

and just to inform you, the pages on the website are called as "Website pages" and not "Paper". lol

Yes, you are right! However can you imagine how much time will it consume to upload or download? That would just go beyond the level of frustration and you will just feel...
Oh!

When one website had a unlimited webspace this is a good for that website because she can open a much more subdomain but this is imposible from webhosting page.

I think so

No, there is no such Unlimited Hosting.

After all, how can you someone offer unlimited bandwidth, when the bandwidth of the hosting companies, the server memory, the hardware for networking, as well as disk storage are physically limited. The truth is unlimited bandwidth is only possible if the website hosting company possess their own internet broadband company. If they have own broadband company, then it is possible to offer their customers unlimited bandwidth per second. To be fair, the bandwidth limitations we are talking about here are almost incomprehensible and would never be reached by a single website. Thus in practical, a hosting company could actually (very much) offer virtually unlimited bandwidth to its client. Most websites only consume a very small amount of bandwidth and disk space. Web hosting companies that provide unlimited anything as a plan feature are banking on the fact that you won’t use very much. This is the controversial area between truth and falsehood upon which marketing claims feed.
