500 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded

[paraproject]

Good evening!
Many people recommend x10hosting as best free hosting because of no file size limit, large space, no ads and full php support. Thank You!

On main I see "Up to 45 GB of Bandwidth!"
I have 146 views (/public_html/***/counter/data.txt) of the page with 202 mb flv video = max. 29 gb and now I received "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded"
In access-logs I can see only today data (last 19 views)... Which hidden traffic (~15Gb) is included?
(one hosting included the traffic between www-server and mysql-server into such limit...)

And a question about Premium Hosting:
On x10hosting.com the price is $4.95, on http://x10premium.com/ $3.95 - which is the actual?
Is the disk space and bandwidth really unlimited? What about video storage + php engine?
(FLV previews for torrent-based video lections portal)

Besf regards
M.M.

"Up to 45 GB of Bandwidth!" is as it says, up to. The default limit is 1 GB.

the "$3.95/mo" is if you buy a 3 year term(pay 142.20 up front), otherwise its $4.95 a month

Thank You for reply.

And what about last question

Is the disk space and bandwidth really unlimited?
What about video storage + php engine?

I'm asking this question to prevent the situation my friend get into: he ordered "all unlimited" hosting like this
(even cheaper) and started image hosting there (it was not directly forbidden in tos), but his order was cancelled very soon.

There are multiple reasons. The bandwidth is not unlimited, its un-metered. Heavy abuse of this usually causes companies to close the account or charge an extra fee.

As long as the videos and torrents arn't someone elses work that you don't have a right to show(movies is an example of whats not allowed) then you should be fine. While premium doesn't have the "shut off permanently" that free does for TOS breaking, they will shut you down if you don't respond to an enqueue within xx days.

Correcting masshuu:

We DO NOT allow these types of files on our servers. If you have proxy or torrent software on your site remove it immediately or you will be suspended.

I am not sure if this has been changed since then, but I have my doubts it'd be allowed given the nature of most torrents. I know there's legal uses for it, but still.

Thank You for reply.

It's legal educational video content.
As torrents are not allowed and as they don't need too much server resources it can be hosted somewhere else. Now I'm talking about hosting short video previews in FLV format (with corresponding flash player and php+html preview engine) on x10hosting paid plan...
the problem is that (30 min video)x(~100 views) = Bandwidth Limit Exceeded for free hosting :frown:

Heavy abuse of this usually causes companies to close the account or charge an extra fee.

So what bandwidth usage will be heavy and what wont be?

they will shut you down if you don't respond to an enqueue within xx days.

it's useful information.

Well they were fairly high before. Contrast, my vps(9.95 a month) has a limit of 500gb a month. so i would say when you hit the 1tb a month, but i don't work at x10, so i can'y say.

I am also sure that a normal site won't have any issues, even if it is resource heavy.
