I have read.
Downtime was mentored here. But how do you think that is possible to guess about that for the newbie which do not have any idea about that before start as well as experienced customer.

So what about several uptime monitoring tools?

Downtime promises are usually a joke considering almost everybody excludes scheduled maintenance, network outages, hardware failures and software trouble from "downtime".

Well, what else is left to cause the host to go down?

Never believe that unlimited webhosting actually means that you will receive unlimited resources from your hosting company.

That is what you will never be able to use. That is only marketing goal in here

Yes there is no such thing as unlimited space. It's all virtual. Webhosts do this by adding more space when their existing storage space is almost all used up. They don't buy a 100,000,000 TB HDD in the first place, well there isn't one anyway. But they can increase the space as their customer storage span builds up.

i've heard that often when you start using a lot of resources they will give you a limit or start giving you problems to discourage you from using so much.

^ Some crappy webhosts do that. That's actually one of the ways you differentiate between a good and bad web host.

I believe better inform the customer about over usage and ask to upgrade service plan. That is easy to do
