I have never used them, however my requirements for shared hosting are that they have a 24 hour phone support line and dedicated IP's available. I also always try to get good recommendations from other people using their service.

I would suggest reading that before purchasing.

http://whois.domaintools.com/alitumhosting.com

I was also check having a look there. The domain is blacklisted, it was only registered in March this year, so they are a new company, and the site has no SSL certificate, even though they are offering free SSL on their plans.
I personally wouldn't go with them, but I'll leave that choice up to you.

No one can offer 40GB of storage or unulimited bandwidth, period!

DO NOT HOST WITH THEM!

You can choose to blow your money, but if I were you, I would avoid it. Unlimited is impossible with bandwidth. Have you heard of a server capable of handling billions of TBs per month? No. But Unlimited says that it can, but we know that is not possible.

It'd be much wiser for you to use that 17 dollars on a good hosting company rather than paying 5 bucks and having to stay up all night trying to get a simple problem solved.

People frown upon hosts like DreamHost for overselling. Unlimited is crazy.

They're claiming to provide unmetered bandwidth. Now that's a bit different. It just means that they won't meter how much bandwidth you use. I've seen webhosts who do this and be very successful.

If you really want it, I suggest you check out Yupapa.com as they provide excellent service with unmetered bandwidth on a shared 10Mbps connection.

But really, I'd say that hosts that actually give you service for your buck would be the best bet.

Hopefully this website will help you immensely on your decision.

P.S. I've been with the WHT community since 2003, so I have some knowledge in this area. So hope my reply helped.
