Just recently- I received an email from one of the twenty hosting companies that I/' m affiliated with and before I even opened it I knew what it was going to say. Pretty much the same thing that the last five emails from other hosting companies have said. "Dear Affiliate- we/' re happy to announce that we/' ve included more disk space to our basic hosting plans which now offer over 20- 000 Mb (mega-bytes) of disk/storage space to your customers." And the Hosting companies battle on!

Now don/' t get me wrong- from a marketing and advertising viewpoint- offering my customer 20- 000 Mb of disk space instead of 5 or 10 thousand is something that just "sweetens the pot." Why not have extra space? Sometimes more is better. But unless you/' re the only person on an island with an internet connection and a hosting account thats going to be used by a small third world nation- or unless you/' re Ebay (TM)- I don/' t see where the average company- even with a website that has 100 or more pages with many graphics- is even going to come close to using 20- 000 Mb of disk/storage space per month.
My modestly small website wbwebhosts dot com has twelve pages that get a total of around 200 page hits a day. Last time I checked I was averaging 2 Mb of disk/storage usage per month. Naturally- I/' m sure that if everybody who was hosted with a certain company was somehow able to use 20- 000 Mb of disk each month- the hosting company would run out of server space.
But thats OK though! Advertising all that storage space is a "Hook" to lure people in. Nothing wrong with that. As I said above it/' s better to have too much storage space then not enough. But look for other things that the company offers they may set them apart from other web hosting services. Is the set-up and Domain free? Where are there servers located? C-panel control (very easy control panel for beginners)? Price per month? Transfer (monthly traffic allowed)?
Well the Host wars will continue! Maybe by this time next year they/' ll be offering 30- 000 Mb to attract new customers. To most unsuspecting people this will seem like a great deal and will be happy and feel lucky that they have found such a hosting company. By offering more disk/storage space- the hosting companies will lure more customers and affiliates- affiliates in turn will gain more customers and the customers will be happy with the excess of space. Oh well- as long as everybody is happy.....
