Who to trust?

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.
Question

GSIS

Service providers must do whatever their business models say will drive their business the way the want it driven.

If their model leads them to seek only large customers (and hopefully drive away the small ones) they need to set their prices and service offerings accordingly. Prices beyond the reach of the little guy - but they have to offer services to match the prices ot they'll have no customers at all.

If their model leads them to seek only small customers (and keep away the big, demanding ones) they need to offer low prices but set service limits low enough to drive away the big, demanding ones.

If they want to be a something-for-everyone provider they have to offer a full range of prices and services from cheap and cheerful shared servers to dedicated behemoths.

It's only 10 GB data transfer ,250MB for space just though I point it out.

Well, in my opinion it depends on you as a customer thinking about what quality you are looking for. For me and for now, FriHost free account is too much for me and it is only 6 GB bandwidth monthly... but for later on... I have to upgrade to a paid service

By this point of view of customers, providers act in a similar way... it is only like GSIS said... pick a customer type or range and design their models according to that.

I'm sure that no matter what you are looking for with service providers, you'll find it...
