Years ago I had shared hosting at godaddy - paying $4 to $11 monthly - and many times I used 500gb transfer in a month, a couple of times I used 2-3TB , and the sites always seemed to load fine and I STILL am not quite sure of how I got away with that . . for a couple of years, at least , and the sites were still up until I forgot all about them completely .
They were crazy. They gave me unlimited storage and I could host as many domains as I wanted and all of that shit . Only thing is, I think the servers I was on were not good for SEO at all , but I think they would sell you better IPs if you wanted
From what I've always known, it's VERY unusual for that to be okay on shared plans
I'm still not sure what caused them to not hate me for all of that time
I had 100-200 doms with them as well, but that doesn't exactly make me some profitable important customer
Perhaps they make so much on average in upsells and all of THAT, the avg. customer was worth it to not fuck with them over something like that, I guess
The only time they ever complained was when I tried to use their FTP to back up my whole personal hard drive and it was a few hundred gigs and they did NOT like that AT ALL
