If you host your website with us it is normally a ‘one size fits all’ solution. We have set the thresholds of storage space, bandwith and processor cycles sufficiently high to cater for websites of up to about 10 million visitors per year. Once a website gets over those sorts of visitor numbers it’s probably not going to be a typical small business website and we would tailor a plan to suit that website.

So, for 99.9% of the sites we build our standard package for $12/month ($144/yr) is fine. If you are concerned about exact figures then below are the ‘reasonable use’ thresholds that we expect websites to be within. Since we generally build all of the websites we host we know roughly how big they will be and aim to be efficient in design so that we don’t waste server resources. You can read our acceptable use policy here.

The standard allocation of server resources or $144/year AUD inc GST is:

• 2.5GB of disk space
• 50GB of data transfer (sum total of up and download)
• FTP transfer is not metered
• As many MySQL databases as needed.
• Ruby and Perl options
• Easy to use control panel to manage email accounts
• As many email accounts, forwarders, aliases and auto responders as you need.
• Each email box can hold about 1GB of messages and attachments.
• Access to email using POP3, IMAP or the ajax based webmail system.

Server environment:

• Apache v1.3 + v2.2
• PHP v5.2
• Perl v5.8
• MySQL v5
• Mod Rewrite Enabled
