DreamHost offers "Unlimited + 50GB" Bandwidth!! But, what exactly does that mean? We wondered the same thing, as when most things are "unlimited" there isn't room for anything else, right? Well, we learned a couple things, One - for over 10 years DreamHost has been trying to stay ahead of the competition by offering more bandwidth than any others. Example:
When other hosts were offering -
10MB DreamHost offered 20MB
50MB DreamHost offered 100MB
500MB DreamHost offered 1GB
100GB DreamHost offered 500GB
So when other hosts decided to offer "Unlimited GB" DreamHost had no choice but to try and "one-up" them by offering "Unlimited +50GB!!" This is obviously a joke and a way to get your attention. But, it goes to show that no matter what the competition decides to offer, DreamHost will do what they can to provide their customers with a little more.
Secondly - We found DreamHost's policy allows 50GB of space for backup use for FREE, and any extra backup space needed for just 10 cents a GB per month. Other "unlimited" hosts do not allow any of your disk space to be used for backup.
