Question unmetered bandwidth?
I'm talking about midPhase now.

I've seen a lot of warnings on hosting services with UNLIMITED bandwidth. But this time, what I see is totally new for me. I mean, the term itself. Well, any former/current customers of midPhase? How is it?

I solved it by visiting the midPhase website.
Following address should be useful for people like me.

Make sure you read the AUP of the web hosting company.
Most website will not go over 10 GB / month unless you use it to host MP3 or Video files.

I disagree. I have some sites that are popular forums that can easily hit 30 or 40 gigs of bandwidth a month. No MP3s or videos

Hey,
That's somewhat true... really depends though. Unmetered bandwidth is usually unrealistic, but if it is, then there is obviously many rules to follow with that - no multimedia, or limitations so that not all the bandwidth will be used.

If unmetered bandwidth is the only reason, it should not be looked at as one. Find a host for good value and support with limited bandwidth (20-40,000 is the most websites typically use) .

1GB Transfer will alow quite alot of page views. Transfer is affected by anything that is downloaded from a server, to the person viewing the websites computer. Everytime you go to a website, your computer downloads files from that website. If you had a 10mb file on your website, it would be able to be downloaded 100 times a month, as long as there are no page views, so by that i mean that no one went onto your website, but just followed a direct link to your 10mb file

Basically Transfer is used for downloads, and page views

So really, 1GB Transfer is enough for 99% of websites IMO

Hope that helps.

Regards
Steven Billings

Depending on your host, your account may be suspended once you reach that 1GB threshold. You should contact your host and inquire about purchasing additional bandwidth or upgrading your plan.

That is completely wrong. Bandwidth transfer is used for everything from ftp to http, mail, etc. Most personal websites that get very little traffic may be able to stay under 1GB, but it really depends on the page. Please post your source for your 99% statistic.

I don't need a hint, thank you though.

I would just like to add that almost any host that is offering unlimited bandwidth transfer for a shared account is not going to be the best. Unmetered bandwidth transfer for a dedicated server is completely different (although some less desirable transit may be used).
