Why does SophiaHosting not offer "unlimited" plans?
Some companies offer "unlimited bandwidth" and "unlimited web space". While this may seem tempting, it is of course obvious that there is no such thing as "unlimited". Every computer or server on earth is limited by the size of its hard disc and the abilities of the Internet pipe line.
When web hosts provide "unlimited" space, they often have to restrict what you can use the disk space for, or throttle the traffic in a severe way. They need to do this, because if every user really uses their "unlimited" space, the host would have to spend an unlimited amount of money to buy an unlimited number of hard disks to provide space for them.
SophiaHosting's policy is "you get what you pay for". Since we have not yet beaten the quantum physics "unlimited" barrier, we can offer no such thing. Whatever space and bandwidth is allocated to you, is yours to use.
