What exactly does “Unlimited” mean?

Unlimited means that there is no set limit on the disk space or bandwidth that your site uses. The unlimited shared hosting plan is designed for small business use, or personal use. Heavy resources users, in terms of disk space, bandwidth, cpu and memory will be advised to consider suitable upgrade paths to dedicated, VPS or cloud servers. These plans are not suitable for storage of private files or file sharing or for users attempting to resell or host large numbers of unrelated websites.
