| 12. Why don’t you offer unlimited bandwidth? |
| Technically speaking, there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth. Therefore, to promise you the availability of unlimited disk space or bandwidth would not be fair. Bandwidth and hard drives cost money, and no company can offer stable and reliable service and still make a profit by giving unlimited bandwidth and disk space. If you see a web host promising to deliver unlimited bandwidth, beware that they may be deceiving you. If you check closely in their Terms of Service, you'll soon see exactly how much their "Unlimited" really means. |
| 13. Can i request to have additional disk space and bandwidth? |
| Addtional disk space (or storage) and bandwidth can be added to your account at any time at reasonable charges. You can do this by writing an e-mail to us or open a ticket to inform us that you wants to add extra disk space or bandwidth or upgrade your account to a higher plan. |
| 14. Other companies offer more bandwidth and disk space but at the same price you are charging. Why? |
| We realize that we are not the cheapest web hosting company and we also know we are nowhere near the most expensive either. We have struck a balance that has worked for us for over 4 years that allowed us to earn a reputation for top-notch service and still be profitable. When you get down to comparing each offer on a feature-by-feature basis, and factor in the quality support you'll receive, it is very hard to beat our web hosting. |
