I have my hosting with hostgator. Though I used to be the so called managing director of Indyahozting, I preferred my sites to be somewhere else when I moved out of the company, and so I chose hostgator apart from everyone else The name sounded cool, and I know that the site is in existence for the past 7 years. Well, the deal is I pay them $10 every month, and they give me a hosting account on which I can host unlimited domains and create unlimited databases and use upto 600 GB of space. Wow, what more do I need? I asked them whats the catch, and they told me that I cannot use more than 25% of the servers resources, and that they have a dual xeon server with 4 gb ram and stuff. They refuse to tell me how much hard disk they have got. They cant have more than 4×500 gb hard drives raided together. Thats only 2 TB. How are they sharing 600 gb to each client hosted on this server? Bullshit. I know that as I too have been selling hosting for some time now.

There is no such thing as Unlimited. If there was something called unlimited, I would take one of these $10 accounts and give hosting free for everyone with a limit of 10 or 20 mb per user to host their static html files only, and that way I would attract millions and billions of users and there would be no way that hostgator’s servers can tolerate the load of traffic though I would manage to keep the processor load within 25% as there would be no php or any other resource consuming sites. Everything would be plain html.

They would have a serious problem in their hands. What would they do? They would find a bullshit way to get me out of their servers, and I would challenge them that I am lying within the bounds of their TOS. The only thing that they can do to get me off their servers is to use the clause that states Host Gator reserves the right to fuck any client off their servers at their will and that I agree completely to that.

Dont get fooled by these offers. Think. Spend $1 per site a month and get hosting from the smaller providers, and you will get more resources per site.
