I think the bottom line here is:
CHECK THE FINE-PRINT!
If you are on a shared server and everyone thinks that the sky is the limit (being that it's unlimited space and bandwidth), you'll find yourself in an environment where the server just has too much load. Eventually, the company will start suspending accounts who they find are "abusing" or "over-using" their resources. After all, it affects the quality of their servers... and eventually, the satisfaction of their hosting customers. You don't want to be in that situation.
P.S. - Please note that I'm not here to bash any specific hosting provider; just giving an advice as to how to go about finding one. One of them is to read over the "
Terms of Service" (fine print) because sometimes what they say as "UNLIMITED" in the front is not what it really is in the admin side. Don't accept that word at face value when you're talking
specifically about disk space and bandwidth.
Your job is to find out what "unlimited" means to the company -- because it may be different for each one.
Don't get me wrong; I love all-you-can-eat buffets -- I take my family there.... but did you ever notice that sometimes, when you're eating too much and staying too long, they're already giving you hints to leave??
