UnlimitedMB - Free 5GB Web Space 500GB Traffic

Want to have a free web hosting service that provides users with large storage space and literally unlimited bandwidth? How about a shared hosting server that has an almost 99.9% uptime that is capable of handling over thousands of hits per second? UnlimitedMB.com may just be the answer for you. However, before anyone should attempt to sign up for their service, it is important to note that their guidelines and regulations are particularly stringent. So, make sure to read their Terms and Conditions before signing up. (Read more)

Although not stated clearly in the first page of the form, basically the web hosting service allows users from only 4 countries to register. Registrants have to submit private information, such as home address and phone numbers. Albeit troublesome, these are essential to protect their organization from any legal abuse to their system. However, there are still exceptions. Members from unlisted countries may be granted approval by the administrator if sufficient prove have been shown to them that they are legitimate web users and not spammers. The only language allowed to be hosted on their server is in English.

After getting through the registration process, the rest of the procedure will be a breeze walk through. UnlimitedMB.com has a very simple control panel, unlike cPanel or DirectAdmin, that provides almost the requirement for a PHP web hosting. Stuffs like MySQL and personalized web statistics are included. Some of the features are as follow.

The web hosting service provides two sub domain names, i.e. .ulmb.com and .com.net.sc, which users can choose to set up as many web sites as desired. Alternatively, top level domains (TLDs) are also supported for users who own domain names. Note that, second-level domain names that use DNS management, such as uni.cc, are not supported.

Two mainstream servers are used to drive the web hosting. The first is the web server where users' files are hosted on, the second is the SQL server where the database is located. The Apache web server is powered by FreeBSD. With such efficient services, one of the primary reasons is that there are several adhering restrictions governing the operation of the web server. Some file extensions, such as .htaccess and .rar are not allowed. PHP upload limits are only restricted to 500kB and FTP file size limit is restricted to a maximum of 2MB. In spite of these restrictions, the services provided have been excellent. The network traffic is often smooth, with little congestion despite an unbelievable large network of sites hosted. It is quite unlikely that users will be able to fully use up 5GB of bandwidth traffic. Even if it does, the server will just continue to operate normally; only a warning message is sent to the registered user. Furthermore, the web host provides an incredible large storage space of 5GB.

UnlimitedMB.com truly deserved 8 stars out of 10. If not for their stringent restrictions and limitations, they might just make a perfect 10 out of 10.
