Thread: Bandwidth Limit?

    Bandwidth Limit?

    I really don't understand this because I have unlimited everything and now I get this message. Anyone have any ideas? I have emailed my host but the problem is that sometimes I never hear back from him. God I hate this crap sometimes.

    The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her bandwidth limit. Please try again later. Apache/2.0.61 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.61 OpenSSL/0.9.7a FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_bwlimited/1.4 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 PHP/5.2.5 Server at www.sobernclean.com Port 80

    Is you host a small 1-man type operation or a larger 24/7 company? You say you have unlimited everything - unlimited bandwidth? I doubt it.

    We have a corporate account with a large ISP - Claranet - and we pay for an agreed bandwidth limit per month. But we never get locked out if we exceed that (and we do at times), our account manager simply renegotiates a new limit if we consistently exceed that limit.

    Maybe you need to find a better host.

    You should get a month to month plan, then you have an option to leave or upgrade to a larger bandwidth plan.

    There is no such thing as "Unlimited" as it's not technically possible and is usually a marketing ploy. Avoid hosts who offer "Unlimited" bandwidth.

    Unlimited is not possible but "Unmetered" is possible though. There is nothing such unlimited as it is a marketing strategy used by hosting companies to attract customers.

    Your host is not giving you what they promised! What kind of traffic you have and what plan have you taken(monthly pay/yearly)?
