While Fastcomet is fairly reliable and has some desirable features that other hosting providers lack, all hosts have their quirks and something that they limit without telling you when you sign up.One of Fastcomet's limitations on websites is mySQL database limitations. Even if you are under the total amount of disk space allowed for databases, your plan will have an upper limit for INDIVIDUAL database files. In over ten years of running mySQL based sites, I have never had a host with that sort of policy.
With some of Fastcomet's plans, you can have many small databases (so many small sites) but you must manage them to make sure none of the sites gets a database that grows too much. For example, the Speedup plan lets you have 36 Gig of nySQL database storage, but no single database can be over 1 Gig OR THEY CLOSE DOWN ALL YOUR SITES.
I moved a couple of sites over to Fastcomet from other hosts. The other hosts were fine with with size of the databases, but Fastcomet won't let me use them. So, I either toss out user data or move the sites back to the other hosts.
To be fair, Fastcomet does have a link on the page where it describes their plans that will tell you the permitted database size limits, if you know where to click.
Every host has limitations of some kind (inodes, storage, etc.). Fastcomet is the first I have found that limits individual database size even if you have space for much more in your plan. If you want to host 36 small websites, you will be fine. However, if one of them gets too full of user data, you will have to scramble, even though you will be told you have only used 3-4% of your database disk space.
