What would it be worth? Couple hundred dollars easily. How many people can honestly afford it?? ( HaHa - we're using free hosting, go figure )

Um, for me? Because I am very poor most times ... I would offer $20.00 / month.

Absolutely nothing. I don't _need_ unlimited hosting is the main reason, but if I did I'd be ready to shell out $100 a month easy (again, I doubt you'd need that, cause if it got right down to it, you could mirror your site on 6 hosts, direct people at the 6th site, and have a php/sql database set up to distribute incoming traffic among those 5 servers).

But, as I said, I dun need it, hence I wouldn't pay for it. It all comes down to if you actually need it or not.

If it offered month hosting ... heck, even if it was a bit cheaper ... or I could work out a plan of some sort ... ( I'm pretty poor ... but heck, may be interested to take a look anyway )

Its worth hundreds, I can afford ( realistically ) about $12 a month right now.

Upload 30 gigs of stuff and get back to me. Let me know if they say anything.

Just so everyone knows... anyone offering 'unlimited' for hosting is a scam. There is no such thing as a hard drive that doesn't get full.

Senor -- if you'd like to test this 'unlimited' hosting account we can upload some large files with our servers and see how much they actually let you upload ;)

I haven't even filled my domain, let alone need unlimited space. It would probably be cheaper to turn one of your computers into a fileserver than to pay for "unlimited" hosting.

the host probably won't last long. Unlimited bandwidth is impossible, I mean you could run a script that is poorly written (php loop - open and close a file, and make it so theirs no disconnect value, so it keeps running the loop and doesn't stop) and basically you'd eat up alot of bandwidth which could take the entire server down.

I mean if they offer unlimited resources, basically it means they have money to burn or they have not thought it out properly or false advertising.

I payed $7.50 a month (90$ a year) for unlimited hosting. It was awesome, though the support wasn't the greatest. Unlimited uploads, unlimited email redirects, unlimited subdomains...etc. It was from Simple Host, but I don't think they offer that plan anymore. Mine lasts through December.
