I can see what you call it. But what you are calling it and what it actually is, are two different things. Thats false advertising and misleading your customers

how is that false advertising/misleading if it is stated on the site.

Quote:advertisement
noun
a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy.
This is an advertisement. It is wrong or misleading. But aside from that your website doesnt state anything better.

But now that I have read your terms...

Quote:For hosting service plans which specify UNLIMITED data transfer, should your site exceed burst (or ongoing) data transit of greater than 5Mb/sec, or otherwise degrade the network performance for other users, the account will be subject to review and possible suspension.

A sustained throughput of 5Mbps is a total monthly data transfer of 1.6TB But wait... Its says Unlimited Data transfer. How can you limit someone to 1.6TB/month or face suspension and call it unlimited??


But i see youre attempting to update your website. Your cPanel plans state data transfer, and your VPS plans state bandwidth LOL

But aside from that... i never trust a hosting company that doesnt understand basic terms like Bandwidth and Unlimited. If servers and networking are your business you should at least have a basic understanding of the terminology. The lack of this understanding says a lot about the business.

Hello Geoff,

I own 2 webhosting companies (if you want proof then pm me and ill pm you proof), this is just a new project of mine which i am working to run. & i resell RDPs as seen in my other thread, all in all i have experience with webhosting companies & unlimited packages, we made unlimited plans but there are TOS to follow towards the unlimited BW etc.. like no rapidleech etc... (which uses alot of bandwidth & resources)

Regards Smile,

You still dont use the terms correctly. Bandwidth, for example, is the maximum throughput or bit rate of a channel.

So in the case of this ad, you suggest that your "port" is 1 GBps (Gigabytes per second). This is what Bandwidth actually is. But this is odd. Because Ports normally come in the likes of 1 Gbps (Gigabits per second), 10 Gbps, 100 Gbps, etc. Its very odd to have an ~8 Gbps (This is what 1GBps equals) port like your ad says.

And then we get on to Unlimited. Offering unlimited Bandwidth is false advertising... because as explained the Bandwidth is still 1GBps according to your ad. But lets assume what you really mean is unlimited data transfer. This is still wrong because a 1GBps is limited to operating at a max data transfer rate of of 1GBps. Over the period of a month that can mean a lot... but there is still a maximum amount of data that can be transferred in that time period limited by the port speed.

As for unlimited everything else... well thats not really accurate either is it.

For example... your first plan offers 5GB of disk space but unlimited mysql storage space? mysql space is still limited to the size of a hard disk space somewhere even if youve changed cPanels default practice to not limit mysql disk usage to include the account limit.

and last but not least... cPanel is a brand name Web Hosting Control Panel. What is Cpanel? Your websites seem to conflict on whether your offering the cPanel branded website or a random generic "Cpanel". Does the McDonalds brand look right if someone were to start calling it mCdonalds? or feDex? cPanel is a brand. its not hard to get it right if thats what you're using.

All these discrepancies hardly inspire confidence in your service imo. It makes you look like a kid that just decided to get into webhosting. Which as far as I can tell might be the case. I can find 3 domains related to hosting and this domain and they were all registered this year.
You go girl!
