but isn't it the same with Amazon and all these other "unlimited backup" solutions? They are all literally a lie if you dig deep enough...some cases more deep than others.


Yep. It's a hosting cliche at this point, it's never really unlimited, it's almost almost overselling with a small note in the terms and conditions saying that some nebulous resource limit applies.

It's pretty well known over at Web Hosting Talk. It's one of the reasons services by a certain notorious company called EIG have a poor reputation.

Doesn't make it any more ethical to do it here though. The hosting business may be filled to the brim with sleazy companies and dodgy deals, but you don't need to do likewise in order to become successful.


Oh, well, if Amazon's marketing is lying too, then it must be okay then.
