Unforseen

I think I figured out how it works. Most companies want to get all the money they can so they sell little space for a lot of money. The way surpass goes about it is to attract the eyes of the customer. By increasing space and bandwidth their grabbing more customers. In reality they know that most of us won't use the bandwidth and space that we pay for. Those specs are basically eye candy. If you think about it the chances of a ordinary customer using up 30 gigs of bandwidth is unlikely and using up 2 gigs of space is very unlikely unless you host a download site. Surpass knows this so they can sell so much space while still gaining marginal profits. It's kinda like a bank. They don't have all the money of every customer at the bank at one time. They let others borrow your money. Thats why if everyone from a particular bank was to ever try and withdraw their money there wouldn't be enough. Much like the fact that if every customer used up all their allotted space and bandwidth Surpass would be bogged down. Very clever tactic Surpass. I wonder if this is the "ancient hosting secret".

Anyway, thats just my opinion. I'm done rambling. Surpass Rocks!!

No, that's called overselling. You can't have quality if you oversell. Trust me, people do use their plans potentials quite a bit, not all, but many.

We simple have many clients, own our own data center, and don't have to outsource everything like a lot of hosting companies do. We control everything.
