How do I choose a hosting plan?

It's important to choose the right hosting plan that will accommodate the growth of your online business. Consider how many visitors you will have, how many pages your website will be and how much you are predicting your online business to grow in the next year to two years. Consider choosing a hosting plan level that offers more resources than you need today. Then you will less likely need to migrate or change plans as your business evolves.

What is a Virtual Private Server?

With a Virtual Private Server each customer receives a partition of the server instead of sharing the file system, processes, users, applications and resource allocations with everyone else. Customers can manage their website with tools and perform some minor configuration changes to support applications, data and users. Virtual Providers provider more security than shared hosting and the private resources also help boost performance.

What is data transfer or monthly transfer?

Data transfer is the amount of data you are allowed to transfer to or from a website. Data, in this case, must be transferred from the web server to the user's web browser and is usually provided in increments of gigabytes (GB) - that's billions of bytes - and allotted monthly, meaning you can transfer a certain amount of data every month. Data refers to text, images, audio and video files that require various amounts of data to transfer.

How much transfer do I need?

You can figure out how much data transfer you will require by estimating your average page size (including graphics!) and multiplying it by the number of page views you expect to have in a month. For example with an average page size of 50 KB, and around 2000 page views per day, you will transfer an average of 3 gigabytes (GB) per month. Netechnics plans include 6, 8 and 12 terabytes - 1,000 GB = 1 Terabyte.

What is Disk Space?

Disk space is the amount of storage space a hosting company offers you for your web pages and hosting account. This space may be used to upload the content of your site. This content - documents, graphics, emails, databases, etc. is saved to a hard disk. Available space is usually listed in megabytes (MB, millions of bytes). For perspective, a single letter of text takes up one byte. HTML files are usually rather small, but pictures and programs can be quite large. Your scripts, emails and statistics will also take up disk space.
