Many people ask me if unlimited web hosting is a scam. Put quit simply. Yes.

There is not a web host on the planet that has a limitless supply of server space or bandwidth. So when you see an offer like this…run!

It has become very popular these days for web hosting companies to offer this type of plan, but is it honest? 

The problem seems to be, if and when you use too much space the web host drops you as a client. They bank on the fact that most folks don’t actually need a lot of space, so offer an outrageous deal they can never live up to. 

If your needs grow to fast however,  they will dump you as soon as you consume too many resources. At some point in time they have to terminate your account because the truth is, your service really isn’t “unlimited” is it?

Further more, spammers frequently join ”unlimited” plans and temporarily bog down the resources for as long as they can get away with it before the host dumps them, so even if you don’t use a lot of resources you still suffer with slow service everytime this happens.

“Overselling” is another popular trick,  in which the web host sells the same space over and over again.

If you fall pray to this kind of hosting practice you will also soon find your server slow and unresponsive and sooner or later you will be forced to move your site somewhere else, possibly even losing your Domain Name in the process.

A good web host will never offer “unlimited service” or “oversell” their servers and will set sensible limits which in turn gives everyone positive space and bandwidth that you can count on.  You can check out some great plans at Expert Online Hosting

People often ask me why a person would choose to self-publish their own blog vs. using a format such a Blogger.

There is a very good answer for this.  With a self-published blog like Wordpress, you will own all the rights to your blog and domain name and with Blogger you don’t. 

If your blog is important to you then you need to own the rights to it.  I have heard many horror stories about people spending a year working on their blog only to have the free Blogger randomly cancel their account.

When they try to get it back someone has already snatched up the name and they lose the blog forever.  This can never happen if you have your own hosting account, domain name and a self-published blog of your own.

You can imagine how devastating it would be to lose all of your hard work and perhaps even your entire concept. Don’t let this happen to you!!!  It can easily be avoided.

All you need to do to protect yourself is to find a good solid and dependable web hosting company that offers free Fantastico so that you can easily create and install an unlimited number of self-published blogs and websites all by yourself.

By using Fantastico’s auto installer program you can easily create self-publish blogs in only a couple of minutes.   

I highly recommend Expert Online Hosting.  They offer quality web hosting with Fantastico included with every plan and all for less than $5.00 a month.  You can create and publish an unlimited number of self-published blogs, mail list, forums, guest book etc. for this one low price. 

Expert Online Hosting even offers free web hosting for the first 30 days so that you can try everything out risk free.

Also, be sure to check out my free video lessons that will teach you how to set everything up.  You can follow along and watch me do everything.  You’ll get an over-the-shoulder view as I create and publish this site, the Webit Geek blog from start to finish.  It’s really quite easy to do.

Happy Webit,

Choosing a good web host is one of the most important decisions you will ever have to make when starting your next Internet adventure. 

Your web host can either make or break you, so you need to hook up with a host you can depend on, one that works every single day with out fail and provides daily backups just in case something does happen.

Warning:  Check out the help forums if you don’t already know what I’m talking about and see all the problems people are having with stuff not working correctly. Many times it’s their faulty hosting system. 

It is important to always remember that by selecting the right web host in the first place you can effectively avoid many of the common pitfalls associated with low end web hosting. 

But don’t let price fool you!

You don’t have to pay a lot of money for a quality web host.
