Why 040Hosting Doesn’t Offer “Unlimited” Disk Space
— And Never Will
At 040Hosting, we don’t do unlimited disk space. Never have, never will.
It’s not a technical limitation — it’s a principled decision.
“Unlimited” Is Just a Marketing Trap
It sounds great until you hit the invisible wall:
-
Hidden throttling
-
Usage clauses buried in fine print
-
Arbitrary suspensions
And meanwhile? Your site is fighting for performance on an overloaded server, because someone else is abusing their so-called “unlimited” plan.
We don’t play that game.
We Reserve What You Pay For — Period
When you buy hosting from us, you get exactly what you paid for.
No illusions. No overselling. No one else touching your share.
Even if your allocated disk space sits empty for a while — it doesn’t matter.
Because it’s yours. Reserved. Ready. Always available.
Why? Because when your business needs it — for backups, growth, or spikes — you don’t want delays. You want headroom.
But What About “Unmetered” Bandwidth?
Good question. And yes — some of our plans include unmetered bandwidth.
So what’s the difference?
| Unlimited |
|---|
| “Use as much as you want — until we decide it’s too much.” |
| Unmetered |
|---|
| We don’t count the bytes, as long as usage stays reasonable. |
We monitor usage, always.
If something’s off — maybe a misconfigured plugin or bot traffic — we don’t punish you.
We talk with you, and find a solution:
-
Technical fix?
-
Resource upgrade?
-
Preventive config change?
You’ll get clarity. Always from a real person.
No automated suspensions. No nonsense.
Stability Over Sales Gimmicks
We believe in engineering margin, not marketing traps.
Overselling disk space is gambling with your reliability — and we don’t do gambling.
You pay for what’s yours. You keep what’s yours.
No one else’s usage impacts your plan.
That’s how we keep our servers clean, fast, and fair.
And why we sleep well at night.
TL;DR
-
No unlimited plans. We don’t believe in false promises.
-
Yes to unmetered — within reason. When needed, we solve things together.
-
We’d rather be right and boring than wrong and shiny.
