This statement is not true at all. With Bluehost you are allowed to
have a site with 100% multimedia content. I know because I have them
as my webhost. If in doubt, just ask them. They will confirm...
I've been using them for a little over 2 years now with no problems
whatsoever.

With their current hosting space of 1.5TB per account (yes, that's
Terrabyte), it would be absurd with a 5% limit...

The only limits I can find on my Bluehost account
are 1500 gigbytes storage and 15000 gigbytes transfer
per month.  For $6.99 a month that's not bad.

But find the host that suits your needs.  I'm
happy where I am now.  Doesn't mean I'll stay
with them forever.  Forever is about 18 months
in cyberspace...

Just dont try to run any PHP scripts or you will get the dreaded CPU
exceeded error. They have a hard time telling you ont heir website
after giving aburd amounts of space how much CPU time you actually
have so it is hard to gague it.

"Oh I see I am in the mysterious black box program." How does it
work?  I have no idea.

They will gladly remove the CPU exceeded errors if you upgrade to a
higher CPU package (with the same amount of bandwidth and space) for
$19.99 per month.  

Here is a list of people wondering what CPU exceeded are on their
fourms.

i could be wrong,

i searched google but could not find a reference to this anywhere but  
here.

BUT

when i changed hosts in december, bluehost came highly recommended.

after signing up and starting to upload, i read in the TOS, AND on  
their forums and on the web that there was a 5% limit on multimedia.  
so i cancelled, and for no other reason.

i don't want to spread misinformation, but that's what i read

sorry if that's now wrong

mmm
