This is from their terms of service. Be careful--their "Unlimited Bandwidth" really isn't unlimited at all.
Traffic Allowance
Your website is entitled to unlimited traffic in each calendar month unless any of the following apply to Your site:
It contains images, CGI programs or similar content that is accessed from other websites. For example, if You run a banner advertising program and the banner is stored on Your website and accessed by the websites displaying Your banner;
Two or more domain names are being used to access Your website. For example, if You are utilizing our Domain Parking facility to point an additional domain name at Your website then You will not qualify for unlimited traffic;
The number of "hits" (file accesses) generated by Your site exceeds 5% of the total hits to the shared server housing Your site;
The total traffic (in megabytes) generated by Your site exceeds 5% of the total traffic to the shared server housing Your site;
More than 20% of Your site's traffic is from e-mail activity (that is sending, receiving and accessing messages and attachments);
More than 20% of the traffic to Your site is from binary files (such as images, java applets, mp3 files or sound files).
If, at our sole discretion, we decide:
Your website does not qualify for unlimited traffic; and
The traffic to Your website exceeds 2 Gigabytes in any calendar month
we may, at our sole discretion, either:
charge You for all traffic in excess of 2 Gigabytes at a rate of AU$4.40 per 100Mb; or
remove Your website from our Servers immediately without notice.
You acknowledge and agree that Web5star has the sole right to determine when and where these provisions apply. Due to time constraints Web5star cannot analyze Your traffic patterns to determine the precise cause of Your high traffic, but You have access to Your site statistics and raw web logs so in most cases will be able to analyze Your traffic patterns Yourself if You so desire. You acknowledge that Web5star has no obligation to provide You with justification or data analysis to prove that excess traffic charges apply or to prove the size of the charges.
If we decide that Your site is likely to incur excess traffic charges for a given month we may, at our sole discretion, notify You via email of the estimated excess traffic charges for the month and insist that You place a deposit with us within 7 days of our email message being sent. The amount of the deposit will be equal to our estimate of the excess traffic charges You will incur for the month. If such deposit is not made within 7 days then Your website may be deactivated without notice.
