I don't want to nit-pick, but your homepage says it is not unconstrained: This plan covers all the needs of most of our customers, but if your site uses more than 100 GB a month in bandwidth or more than 5 GB of space for your content and images, we'll get in touch with you to charge separately (mostly at-cost) for the extra resources.

Came here to say this aswell, I visited the site wondering what the terms and conditions were. The page starts off by saying: > For USD $25 per month, we install and maintain a full featured Ghost install for you with no restrictions (unlimited visitors, unlimited members, unlimited authors/staff) Claiming absolute no restrictions but then goes on to goes addd a 100 GB bandwidth limitation, which while should be able to handle mild traffic is by no means unlimited. It would be better to call the plan a one with "generous" limits but certainly not unlimited

  Right. The unconstrained mostly refers to the visits / members / staff accounts, which is what most providers place massive limitations on. What would be a good word to convey that there are no artificial constraints, and that the only (soft) limit is the bandwidth you actually use? I'm not even planning on enforcing the bandwidth, I think it'll even out over everybody for the most part, unless someone is being abusive.

    Be honest? "$25 a month for managed, Ghost optimised hosting that's perfect for 99.9% of websites* * Think you're in the .1%? Transfer more than 100gb a month (roughly equivalent to X million visits for the average site) and we'll charge you at cost for the overage. This works out to be around $x per x. You can read more about this [here]..." Or whatever.

      Thanks, will change to something like that. Will bump it up to 1TB a month as well.

Thanks, I've removed the "unlimited visitors" part, that does seem misleading. The competition restricts that and I don't want to — if the blog owners keep their JS/CSS/Images small they can go well past millions of visitors, but I do need a bandwidth cap. Have updated the cap to 1TB as well, realized I could move people off CloudFront to BunnyCDN if they were very high usage.
