Whenever you buy a web hosting plan from any company, then some things should be kept in mind. So that in future you will not face any kind of problem. But you must be wondering what I need more than unlimited hosting disk space and bang bandwidth.

What is the advantage of unlimited bandwidth?

Unlimited Web Hosting Plans Really Unlimited?
Greed comes upon hearing unlimited words in the mind. But can unlimited web hosting India service really give you something like unlimited?
1. Soft Limit of Upload
All types of resources are limited in this world, so how can an unlimited web hosting plan be unlimited. You will be surprised to know that most web hosting companies give a soft limit of 20 GB (English: 20 GB soft limit). Here the soft limit means that you can upload files up to 20 GB in size on the service.
When you install a WordPress blog, it can take up to 1 GB of space on the webserver. Actually, its size is not 1GB, but due to the other files and software needed to color this setup, its size goes up to 1 GB.
Also, if you keep taking regular backups of your blog, then gradually the size of the files reaches 20 GB. Then web hosting companies send you a warning for this. But even if you keep deleting the old backup from time to time, then at some point your website data will reach 20 GB. In this case, your unlimited web hosting will remain as limited web hosting.
2. Limit RAM Usage
This type of limit is often seen with shared web hosting services. Apart from this, many companies show CPU and RAM too much. But to run a website, it only imposes a limit of 50 MB RAM. Due to this if you install a premium theme and a plugin that uses more resources on your WordPress blog, then your website starts crashing again and again. Because they do not get more than 50 MB of RAM to run and function.
3. Limit to Create Database
Some companies even fix the database limit (English: Database limit). You cannot create more than 5, 10, 50 or 100 databases and the size of one database cannot exceed 1GB. There is no such thing as unlimited.
4. Domain placement limit
You should also check the number of domains that can be used with the web hosting plan you are buying. Many times it happens that the web hosting plan is said to be unlimited but you can put only one domain on it. It simply means that you can run a single website. You can create another website, but instead of putting a new domain on it, you have to use sub-domains.
5. Limit on Using Server Resources
Many companies limit the use of 25 to 30 resorts for a single website and do not allow them to use more than 90 seconds. If your website uses more than 30 resources and runs server processes then it crashes. Due to this, your readers are not able to reach your blog. Most of the shared web hosting do this, be it Blue Host, Hostgator, or any other.
6. Limit of FTP Account
When we talk about web hosting, then the matter of FTP also arises. Many companies allow you to create Limited FTP user accounts (English: Limited FTP user accounts) under unlimited hosting plans. You can create only 5 accounts. Therefore, whenever you buy a web hosting plan, make a list of your requirements and match it with the services provided by the service provider.
Now you must be thinking that all these website hosting companies are scamming their users. But it is also not entirely correct to say that these companies give you limited terabytes space (English: Limited terabytes disk space) to use. If you will build and run your website with understanding and planning, so that there is no policy violation, then this is enough space that you can consider it unlimited.
