Most companies will advertise webspace and bandwidth that they don’t even have. Many companies today offer you unlimited, or and astronomical amount of webspace for a inexpensive price. The problem is that most companies don’t have that much space to give out. What they are doing is hoping that you don’t use all of the space that they allotted you.

Very True! It's called 'overselling' and you will see it happen a lot. A company will offer you the world and give you nothing!

I run a web hosting service called Instant Online Auctions. By no means are our packages unlimited! Instead, we seek to add value to customers who are looking to add auction functionality to their web site, or start their own auction site for fun, charity or profit.

Customer Service and Having fun are my top goals!

Watch out for 'Unlimited'... there is no free lunch!
