1. NO phone number  - I don’t mind if you do not have a toll-free phone number, but I MUST have a phone number on hand in case I have problem with my website or hosting account.
2. Unreasonably low price - Too low price means 2 things, either too many hosting account on a single server or low specification server.  I would prefer hosting price more than $4 a month.
3. Windows host - Unless I need ASP or windows features else I would use Linux/Unlix hosts because windows host are usually cost $1~$2 more.
4. Operate from home - Host owner who operates from home are usually small reseller and can’t promise high quality support. e.g. Email support may takes longer to response.
5. SSH access for everyone - Offering SSH access to every customer without id verification will expose the server to security threat.
6. Bad reputation -  I don’t have to say more about this, who wants a bad host ?
7. Outsourced customer service - Getting support response from these staff are usually quick but they can usually provides limited support, e.g. frontpage extension problem, file permission and etc. Anything that touches script, server side may take longer to solve.

There are quite a few hosting out there that offers high-limit or unlimited amounts of disk and/or other resources, such as bandwidth transfer, email or FTP accounts.  The intention of those web hosting company is to provide ample resources for customer convenience, so that customers needn’t to worry about exceeding limits.

However, users must understand that these resources are limited by physical restraints of technology as well as by reasonable limits of a shared resource environment, especially on shared hosting account.

So, user should know that single account is entitled to utilize the server resources, within reason, up to what is allotted or by what is physically available.

 If resources become scarce, host provider will reserves the right to limit users of the affected machine to a lower limit to preserve the effectiveness of the service for all users. If a particular user is in extreme excess of what the average users of the machine have in use (actually used) of their resource allotments, that customer may be asked to remove content, cut resource usage, or relocate to a dedicated service provider.

This is limitation of those so called unlimited space/bandwidth. Make sure you always read and understand their term of service before you signup.
