Default The limit of unlimited

I have been shopping for hosting for a new development and found a hosting that gave an incredible amount of memory and bandwidth for $9... The best of it, via addon you could add "unlimited" domains. I am talking about Hostgator.com

Of course, if you have the slightest idea of how the system works you know that unlimited is not really unlimited; but the question is: what is the limit in unlimited?

Like I work mainly with joomla sites I started adding the scripts. My idea was to put 50 in that hosting. With the default memory used by the script, I was only using 10% of the memory available.

Well, when I added the site number 23, the system refused to accept components installs. After coming and going with the tech support, it was clear that I had found the limit of unlimited...

I can't complain, 23 joomla websites for $9 is not bad. But of course... 23 is not unlimited.

The moral of the story: memory and bandwidth are not the only constraints that appear when hosting your websites, even when that is the only numbers that the hosting company usually gives you.

You get what you pay for in hosting, there are lots of cowboys offering it cheap who don't offer good service with it.

Also if your hosting company folds you have to move all your sites, not a nice task I can tell you, not to mention if they lose your data in the process.

Always buy hosing off the back of a recommendation, not on price, bandwidth or disk-space.
