You may have known that a lot of hosting provider are offering unlimited space, bandwidth and database in their hosting plan to attract customers. Disk space and bandwidth nowadays have become cheaper because of the increasing competition between hosting providers, what you should aware is that not because they offer "unlimited" disk space and bandwidth you can upload unlimited stuff to your account, there is a limit on how far this "unlimited" offer will go.
It is safer to ask your hosts about what is the upload limit and bandwidth limit per month, database limit if you use database, before you decide to buy their hosting plan. Some hosting provider limit each account to a certain number of files uploaded under your account (ex. 50,000 files) even though they said unlimited disk space, and that is including web pages, images and multimedia files. So if you are planning on hosting or already running a website that could reaches such number of files and you still running shared hosting, you should consider on moving to dedicated hosting.
The limit is especially true for shared hosting because shared hosting is the one that usually offer unlimited space and bandwidth. Shared hosting is not suitable for large websites with large number of files or websites with heavy traffic because shared hosting account are sharing server resource with many other account that you could never know how much account you are sharing resource with.
It's best for you not to purchase hosting plan only based on their unlimited offer because there are no guarantee the hosting provider can provide it. It's okay to purchase hosting plan that offer fixed disk space and bandwidth, at least by purchasing this kind of hosting plan you know how much disk space and bandwidth that you get.
