I know it sounds to good to be true. But I don't care if it's slow. It's for galleries only....

There's NO such thing as "Unlimited Bandwidth", they can say it all that they want. I bet that if I got an account with them and started pulling through 3mb/s, like I am now, they'd have me out on my ass in no time, ha ha ha.

OR like you say, if it is true, then it's gonna be ULTRA SLOW.

Don't waste your money. If it's slow it won't get listed anywhere - and what's the point of that...???

Justsexxx you came here and asked for an opinion on this company from people who are extremely experienced in this biz.

These are people who more than likely have already been through enough so called "unlimited bandwidth" adult hosts.

But yet you don't want to take their advice and accept what will eventually hold true..."caveat emptor" Buyer beware.

I did just like you and signed up for a so called unlimited bandwidth host...and then on another page where they explained their program in more detail I found that their idea of unlimited was 5 gb a month and then $12 a gb aftwerwards. Well needless to say I was with them for only about a week.

You say you are going to push 300gb through them a month. Well if you read their TOS you will find this in it:
If Adult Host decides that the Account Holder is consuming excessive server resources Adult Host has the right to disable the Account Holders account and recommend them to upgrade to a Dedicated Server

This will surely be the catch that they will pull out of their old tos handbag to somehow charge you more.

So go ahead, don't listen to what you have been warned about and wake up one day to find your account "disabled." You'll find out quickly how costly that can be...especially when you're running around scrambling for another host and it takes you a couple of days to find that, and then a couple of days for your domain to get transfered, and then a couple of days before everything propogates to that.

Good luck,
eros

eros is right --

I can tell you what will happen.. especially if you are relatively new at building galleries (and making $$$$$ with them !!!!).

Best case scenario you will spend the first week getting listed sparatically and slowly getting to the point where the server slows to a crawl. At this point surfers will not get your galleries and the TGP's will began pulling your links and banning your domain, or at least stop listing you!!

Worst case scenario is what eroswebmaster laid out for you where they will let you run it up and then turn around and either try to get you to spend a lot more money on a dedicated or simply charge you the money without any notice.

If you are not going to listen to any of us at least be very cautious and call the host and lay out these scenarios and see what there reaction is.

In my country you get UNLIMITED bandwith for your server by placing it to a host(100$/month).The speed is 10Mb-100MB. I think this method is only in central europe. Bandwith is money for western countries. Good to live here at this point
