Ok, if I've worked this out correctly 100TB is about 312Mbps average. For $199 including server??!? "As you would expect unmetered bandwidth from 100TB is truly unmetered and unshared, with no limits and no small print." How can they offer this price without seriously overselling their bw?

Overselling isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's all about whether or not the bandwidth is properly managed. They pay for the pipes whether it's used or not don't they?

In some deals like these, you're getting an older server that can't sustain a high bandwidth site anyway, and they profit by upselling you to a newer or multiple boxes...
I bet the usual favorite adult hosts buy more bandwidth than they use too, and if you add up all the allotted bandwidth per customer, they oversell. It's a misused word when it comes to bandwidth management.
I bet the usual favorite adult hosts reuse old server hardware too, I know for a fact as I was paying for some very cheap and very old hardware, and getting a very small amount of bandwidth for 7+ years.
I've also used a Softlayer/10TB server for years and they've been great.

ya u gotta upgrade your boxes every year. take advantage of price drops and technology upgrades. most decent hosts will migrate you for free. i usually go one step further and switch hosts too (unless they dont totally suck).

Yep, so that's overselling...

Correct.
Most people are OVERPAYING for what they really need because they simply do not understand resource management. Some of this is helped by the out of the box packages offered by hosts with too little disk space, older servers, etc..
Most, not all, could cut their hosting expenses by 30-50% easily.

well if their service is as fast as their site is in europe, then i know where the cheapness comes from. Site has been trying to load whilst i read this topic, during my reply it still tries to load up.

True, slow for me too...
I've seen those prices for unmanaged foreign servers, so the price is nice!
I also used them for one year,had 7 servers there,but i canceled them all because they made a mistake which pissed me off.I wont be returning there,but i might take one server for hosting static content but that wont be so soon since even now i have too much bandwidth available.And btw i already opened thread with same title, http://www.gfy.com/showthread.php?t=957908 , i guess i forgot to add hosting in title.

I asked a question in my post.

They're a pretty good host in terms of hardware/support/pricing but if you ever get a DMCA watch out. They won't even give you a chance to defend yourself or consider your side of the request. Their only acceptable response to a DMCA is take down the content or they'll shut you down. Even if you own the rights to the content. And even if you get a lawyer to talk some sense into them, they still won't listen...

And that is reason why i left them-someone can send fake report to them or to softlayer,and then they shutdown your server without notification.Imagine what could happen if you are on vacation or long time away.

I moved almost all my servers off them after exactly that. Its so simple to destroy someone's business on their servers by simply faking a DMCA. They'll always side with the complaining party even if you own the rights. If you're comfortable with that, host away. Otherwise, its not worth it.

While that's true, almost every host has a reasonable human being to look at the work in question. In my case, its so obvious and takes less than 2 seconds to realize its not the copyrighted work in question. I'd rather pay more to avoid the constant disruption to my business from fake DMCA's to begin with.
