Adding to what Prulez said, "unlimited" basically means until you start using a disproportionate amount of cpu/ram compared to the average user they won't limit you. But once you do hit that much usage... They might warn you, suspend you, or even straight up terminate your account. They also have a problem with large files, since it's typically a bitch for automatic backup cycles.

I know that Wink

Personally my strategy is to go with a free host that provides php support and a control panel. Once you start gaining more traffic to your site it's time to move into VPS territory and then later into dedicated or colocation hosting if your site becomes really popular.

I want more possibilities then just PHP. ie CGI, Perl etc.
Though I'm not ready for VPS and up yet. Also have to keep an eye on my budget, which isn't much as a student.

Paid shared-hosting I skip entirely. It can of course be good and maybe even perfect for some people but I find it to always be a coin toss trying to find the "right" company and I just don't feel like going through the trouble... Not to mention giving out your credit card details to all the shitty companies you have to go through until you finally find a decent host.

Now you know why I asked around here aswell eh? Wink

@Prulez: Thanks for writing all those prices down (you didn't have to calculate years etc though) and clarifying the 25 hostnames.

I might use Versio then as a step-up and when I reach the limits, I'll probably go to Hostgator and then pretty much the path a000clown said (2nd quote).
