Two main features that are looked at when opening a web hosting are the bandwidth and disk space offered by the company as well as the type of hosting packages offered by the host.
The disk space is essentially the storage space that is allotted to the user to store the website on the host's server and the amount of bandwidth refers to the amount of transfer of web pages (from the server to the browsers of your website) that can take place on a monthly basis.
Now there are many web hosting providers who claim to offer "unlimited bandwidth" and "unlimited space" with their hosting packages. First of all, it is important to note that the word "unlimited" is nothing but a myth in the web hosting industry. This is because, it is not possible for a web hosting provider to offer unlimited disk space or bandwidth and therefore the entire proposition would be a risky venture. Most web hosts www.hostingcoupons.org presume that most of the websites would not consume much bandwidth or disk space and thereby leverage this for getting more sign ups. Therefore, the apparent "unlimited" feature is nothing but a marketing gimmick used by the hosting provider. Read the fine print in its entirety. The terms and conditions would of course include the details of its features and what exactly would the term "unlimited" imply. So even if the company claims to offer "unlimited" features, it does not necessarily imply that the company would not offer quality hosting services.
So if you plan to own a small website, then the unlimited feature may just befit your website requirements.
