n the event that your site becomes so trafficked
that it is requiring several GB of transfer
per month, please contact us to see if we
can give you any ideas on how to bring your
transfer down. Sometimes it can be a simple
program change or researching to see if people
are linking to your graphics or files (that
is a very fast way to eat up your bandwidth
- so do not let people link to your stuff).
If we are unable to lower it, at this point
we will either pass along the cost of the
extra bandwidth and/or help you find a host
with more bandwidth to offer or in extreme
cases where you are on the road to taking
up 20 or 30 GB per month, a dedicated server
to set you up on with a good company we know.
At the present time, as of this writing,
extra bandwidth is $8.00 per GB per month.
Please note that if you suddenly start taking
up more bandwidth than we can handle, we
would possibly have to take your site offline
until we can get it straightened out. This
is only in extreme cases. Example: Someone
uploads a 40 MB movie to their site and announces
it to the public. 5000 people come in one
day to view the movie. That takes up 200,000
MB of transfer (200 GB) and costs us $1500.00!
Considering that our most popular account
only costs $10.00 a month, you can see where
we would have to pass that cost along to
the site owner that caused it. This is very
rare and actually has only happened once
or twice to us in the past year.
We do our "soft limit" transfer
in this manner to try to
keep with Acts 2:44-
45 "and all that believed,
were together
and had all things common
and sold their
possesions and goods and
parted them to all
men as every man had need."
We feel that if we, as a body, will share
the resources available
to us, we will be
keeping with this scripture.
If you are transferring
an exisitng site that already
recieves several
GB of transfer per month,
contact us and
we will find a solution
for your hosting
needs.
When you log into your control panel, you
will see the maximum transfer
limit set for
that package to help us
keep track of who
is using what kind of transfer.
If you need
more, we can analyze the
use of transfer
by all the other domains
and see how much
we can allow you to use
over that. We will
always, always, come up
with a good solution!
Even if it means helping
you get set up on
another host that allows
more bandwidth.
The only reason that we
would ever cancel
your domain because of
transfer is if you
refuse to cooperate or
we feel that you are
abusing our system. Then
we will have to
ask you to move your site
to another option
or cancel your account.
