FAQ


What does disk space refer to?
It is the amount of storage space you can use on our servers to hold all (webpages, images and scripts) files associated with your website. It means the amount of space that the files would take up on your computers Hard Drive.

What does data transfer refer to?
Data transfer is the volume of information that is transferred to or from your website. Every time a visitor looks at your website data is transfered.

How much diskspace do I need for my website?
Most websites only need less than 10MB to store all of the files. Remembering that the average user on a 56Kbps modem connection can only download 12MB in 1 hour, if your site is much large than 5MB it will be too slow for people to download. The base account with 30MB diskspace is sufficient for 95% of all our clients.

Is 1 GB of data transfer enough?
YES! Only very large or high volume websites will ever exceed 1 GB of data transfer in a month. An average business website would support up to 10,000 different people looking at their website every month and still not exceed 1GB of data transfer! The way we look at data transfer is that, if you ever have to pay for more data transfer your website will be generating so many benefits for your business that it will by far out weigh the cost of the excess data charges.

How is the total data transfer per month calculated?
Total data transfer for your hosting account, includes data transfered via:

Web Traffic - Visitors to your website
FTP Transfer - Data transfered to/from your site using FTP
Email - All email handled by our mail server
'Total data transfer' is the sum of both inbound and outbound data over the mediums listed above.
