Taken from our old “plans” page… it was my rant on unlimited plans…

* By popular demand, PeachyHost is now offering its own “unlimited” plan. But please read on because unlimited plans, the kind that most hosting companies currently offer, with little asterisks by them denoting significant terms-and-conditions, are something that, both as a concept and as a principal, PeachyHost would rather not support because they are neither transparent nor ethically honest (in our opinion), even if they are technically honest (their terms-and-conditions are available). However, we found ourselves having to write long diatribes explaining why most people’s idea of an unlimited plan was actually a misconception.

The bottom line is that now, if you want it, you can have have one with us. Like every other unlimited plan, the physical limits of the universe in general, and the capability of a non-magical server in particular, make an unlimited plan impossible. We will, however, offer you theoretical limitlessness so that, as your needs increase, we can simply increase the space/bandwidth capacities associated with your account – capacities that are really less of a limit on you, and more of a safety net so that your neighbor can’t unwittingly (or, heaven forbid, intentionally) overload the server and make other sites run less efficiently.

At PeachyHost.com, we want every site that signs up with us to have all the space and bandwidth that they need – and that we’ve promised. No site should be beholden to unknown quantities and limitations. If it makes you sleep better to pay more for the name of the plan… be our guest.
