Do you think that shared web hosting providers must increase transfer and space quotas to enormous numbers that no one uses? offering 20 GB - 50 GB transfer per month is reasonable. But claiming you offer anyone 500 GB per month transfer is like offering cruise to the moon.

It is obvious that most web sites can not take advantage of offers like those! So what do you think hosts should do. To offer something that no one will use or to focus on different things like value-added services.

I doubt that the tendency to increase disk space and bandwidth will increase significantly in the future, as the servers producers don't follow this trend.

That's right, and very often because of overlopading the host asks you to change the package plan or leave them.

Massive overselling is bad, as it definitely spoils hosting clients, if they have more disk space and bandwidth than they actually need besides their site they start putting a lot of tresh online, like family albums etc, which isn't good for the Internet overall.

a reasonable disk space and bandwidth is what is required.
it depends on use of person to person.
