Very good advice about shopping for web hosting!

My experience has been that any hosting company that promises "unlimited" anything is either hiding limits somewhere in the fine print, or is doomed to go out of business.
The web hosting service I use sets limits on all their packages, but the limits are reasonably high (I've never had to move a client to a larger package yet) and they have generously increased the limits several times over the past 3 years as bandwidth and hard drives dropped in price.
But overall, your advice is excellent.
