Question: How can web hosting companies offer such high transfer limits for low prices?

Answer by BestHost Ratings

It is called overselling. Most of the hosting companies do that. They count on that the majority of hosted sites will not use the full resources available. There is nothing wrong with that as it is done in many other business (ex.airlines).
