Unlimited...LOL. Such things don't exist my friend, and lately, these marketing ploys haven't gotten a host very far...

Well, being a cherished member of FWS, I'd have to say you get what you pay for...

Hey ridetrials, tripod.co.uk does PHP4 and mySQL [probably limited at that, but nevertheless..I don't know what they mean by PHP4U, but signing up doesn't really hurt].

If it's for a personal site, and you don't mind the ads [topbanner], you can always try 0catch.com. I believe they still do 100 MB, no FP extensions, you'll have to pay for that.

From my experience, it's better to go with the larger hosts, even though you will face more restrictions--however, if the host can't cope with larger levels of abuse, [like crosswinds], then don't bother.

Paying for hosting is one of the best things you can do for yourself if you want a little more leeway and features, and if you can pay monthly, do so. I recommend going to some of the bigger hosts this time because they will be more likely to be around the next day.

[and whatever you do, avoid CI Host (scammed a user and got 25 grand in USD)/DonHost (and their resellers)/FastHosts (and their resellers)]
