I see company XYZ offering 600 GB disk space for $6.95 month – throwing in a free domain name. Why can you do that?
Webhosting companies offering virtually unlimited packages are covered by the small print. Read the rules carefully and you will find all the things you are not allowed to store on the server – any form of copyrighted material of course, any music or video files (mp3/mp4/divx/avi files). They will all have an open-ended clause like “any activity that affect the safe running of the server” – that’s basically a blank cheque right there making it easy to get rid of anyone who actually use the resources they offer. One even answer this question on their own FAQ page with the following statement: “Research shows the average web site is only 25MB.” One such hosting company with big flashy ads offering “Free domain name and setup” apparently for just $6.95 – but when you sign up you will see that to get this condition you need to sign for minimum two years. Anything less and they bill you $15 for the domain name and another $15 for setup. It’s all down to marketing. Call us old-fashioned but
