I don't think One.com could be considered a gimmick hoster as they are the one of the biggest in Europe.

Since this is a programming forum, lets assume Fluid Byte wants to make a site to host games or apps he makes with PB.
From the One.Com TOS:

If you make a game with PB and post it on your site and it gets listed at one or two shareware review sites, you are looking at 10-20GB of traffic a day in downloads. I am sure your site would be yanked from their servers very quickly.Traffic is basically unlimited. However, traffic must be normal in nature and not disrupt that of other customers.
This is similar to the magic "10% clause" that other gimmick hosts use. They promise outrageous amounts of monthly bandwidth for low prices, but then hide behind the "10% clause". They usually only have a handfull of servers and "stack them" by putting thousands of clients on each server. In the above scenario, with a game or app posted on a review site, even if you were within your "allotment" of bandwidth, because of the stacked servers you would be using more than 10% of the server resources and you would see your account yanked.
Hosting services I trust and put clients with:
Moderate use clients:
http://hostforweb.com
High volume clients:
http://www.lunarpages.com
Dedicated server clients:
http://www.serverbeach.com
Why don't you actuall ring them up or email them and ask about usage before making ill informed statements? :roll:About One.com:
One.com is an innovative supplier of web hosting services. One.com (B-one) was established in 2002 in Denmark and is today one of the leading companies in Europe within the provision of domain names and sales of web hosting services.
Since the foundation of One.com (B-one) in 2002 by Jacob Jensen, One.com has experienced constant growth and has, today, more than 250,000 customers in 149 countries and handles more than 20,000,000 e-mails and 3,500,000,000 web page queries every month. (January, 2006)
Today, One.com has 55 employees, a healthy, strong financial position and is fully geared to meeting the potentials and challenges of the future.
Vision:
From the start, the vision was to offer a simple, flexible and user-friendly product to both entry-level and professional users.
Organisation:
In order to be as competitive as possible on all markets, both in relation to private and business customers, One.com has registered companies in Denmark, Dubai, England and Madeira.
In addition, we have sales offices in Germany and Holland.
One.com’s branch in Dubai is located in Dubai Internet City. Dubai Internet City is the ideal location for innovative companies as it provides the possibility of knowledge, sparring and collaboration with thousands of other IT companies.

Networks & systems
In spite of the low price, quality has never been compromised. All servers are of the best Hewlett-Packard quality with redundant power supplies, mirrored SCSI disks with daily external tape-backup.
The systems are placed in a private server room at Interxion in Denmark. The server room has redundant power circuits, battery backup, diesel generators and a Vesda (Very early Smoke Detection Alarm) smoke alarm system.
Our backbone is fibre-based with redundant infrastructure. The total bandwidth is at present 2 x 1 Gigabit multi-homed attached and connected to 3 international carriers, Global Crossing, Deutsche Telecom and Level3, in addition to Danish Internet eXchange.
Servers, server rooms and the bandwidth are monitored around the clock, 365 days a year.
I didn't write their TOS, its not my "argument". Even if you want to be "paid" for software, you usually provide a demo. Either way, One.com makes it VERY clear they are not intended for moderate-high volume users such as a indie software developer would be.Plus i assume Fluid Byte is wanting to be paid for his software so your argument about 'large amounts of data on the server for free download' pointless.
That is VERY low, and based on a poor quality program. A decent program with favorable reviews could easily see 3x-5x that amount daily.Thats seems very high.
An innovator of hosting services who has only been in business since 2002? That pretty much speaks for itself, doesn't it?One.com is an innovative supplier of web hosting services. One.com (B-one) was established in 2002 in Denmark and is today one of the leading companies in Europe
Not exactly impressive is it?Our backbone is fibre-based with redundant infrastructure. The total bandwidth is at present 2 x 1 Gigabit multi-homed attached and connected to 3 international carriers, Global Crossing, Deutsche Telecom and Level3, in addition to Danish Internet eXchange.
Don't need to, their specs and TOS do the speaking for them and info you posted nails the coffin shut.Why don't you actuall ring them up or email them and ask about usage before making ill informed statements?

This was taken from:Hidden CPU utilization limitations
Buried deep within DreamHost's terms and service are limits to how much CPU utilization you can use. Unfortunately there is no way for you to monitor this, you'll just have to take DreamHost's word that you're exceeding the limits. If you exceed the limits, they'll disable your account.
