Over Transfer Fees
Additional bandwidth is charged in increments of 1gb (one gigabyte). Additional bandwidth costs $9 (nine dollars) per gigabyte (rounded to the nearest gigabyte) per month over the monthly allowance. This will be billed monthly to any account that incurs over bandwidth charges.
Unlimited Services
We define 'Bandwidth' as the speed at which the data requested by a visitor to your website gets delivered to that visitor. Of course there are physical and technical limits imposed by the network and other factors we do not control (like your ISP).
'Unlimited Bandwidth' means that we do not limit the speed of the connection beyond it's physical or technical limits unless it begins to degrade or adversely effect system performance or the quality of service to any other user. Until your website causes a problem for the system or any other user on that system, we will not limit the speed at which data can be delivered from your website.
If your site has so much traffic that it affects other users or the system, we recommend that you get a dedicated server. If you choose to use our service, be aware that we reserve the right to limit public access, throttle connection speed, or take any other actions necessary to preserve and protect the integrity and stability of the server at any time and without notice. If you have any concerns, please Email Us. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
