This is a bluehost question posted by Eriksrocks on 25 October 2008

I thought this was a very interesting piece by the CEO and founder of HostGator, one of Bluehost’s main competitors. HostGator recently updated its hosting plans to unlimited disk space and bandwidth, and this is his opinion on the matter.

The reality is, I can guarantee you that Bluehost is doing the exact same thing. It’s called overselling, and anyone who knows anything about webhosts knows that it happens almost everywhere. They restrict your account based on CPU and memory usage. You’ll exceed those limits far before you’ll actually run out of disk space or bandwidth, and that’s why everybody is complaining about the fatal “CPU Quota Exceeded” message.

Whether you consider it shady or not is your opinion. It’s interesting how he explained that he was essentially forced to join his competitors (e.g. Bluehost) or lose sales. Really shows the dark side of hosting competition these days.

It was interesting and refreshing to hear it explained from the inside. At least he was honest.
