We don't offer "one size-fits all" un-limited plans like a popular "un-limited Green Hosting" place in Toronto.
While it might be great for marketing, it fails in application. One size does not fit all...
Here's where we are different:
- Personal Hosting Plans: They are placed on shared servers, usually Dual CPU Xeon's, 100 Mbps ports. Quick enough for smaller personal sites and blogs, etc. We don't cram a bzillion sites on the servers. We base our server limits on load. If it looks like a server is starting to get bogged down, we unload the "pesky sites" to other servers. It's all about uptime and availability.
- Business Hosting Plans: These are placed on shared servers, Quad core's, lots of memory, 100 Mbps ports. Since you depend on those servers for your business, they have less sites on them. The drives are Raid mirrored, so if one fails, the other one continues to serve web sites. Result? Drive failure doesn't crash your site. We just replace the dead drive, and carry on.
- Corporate Hosting Plans: These are placed on one of our load balanced clusters, with a minimum of 4 servers per cluster. Your site is served by the least busy server.. Email and Databases are off loaded to separate servers. Result? Outstanding uptime and web site availability. Redundancy? You bet!. If your site gets swamped with requests, it's still available.
Different clients have different needs. A hobbyist blogger can get by with a personal plan suited to his needs, while someone running a large commerce website with thousands of hits per day will need a different plan.
While you are shopping around for hosting, remember that the "One size fits all - unlimited plans" don't really fit all, and your site will *always* find some limits. Read the fine print.
Ask questions. Ask the "un-limited places" if you can upload 150 GB worth of files to their server and use 150 GB of bandwidth each month., and send 5000 emails per day.
If they skate around the questions, keep looking !
The is really no such thing as "un-limited" web hosting.
