General Hosting Questions
How are Backups Done?
Backups are Done every other day and transfered to 2 machines. Those 2 machines keep the data for 30 days. So if something messes up on your server you will loose only the maximum of 2 days worth of work.
How much disk space do I need?
Well, this depends on the type of website you will have. If your website is a relatively basic informational website, our most basic plan, with 100 megabytes, should be more than enough for the text and images on your site. If you plan to have audio or video files, or many high quality images, then perhaps you will want more capacity. Remember, you can always upgrade later!
How much bandwidth do I need?
Again, this depends on the type of website and the use you anticipate it will receive. Our most basic plan will be fine for 95\% of informational sites, however, if you will be transferring lots of large files, or making video, audio, or high quality images available to your visitors you may need more bandwidth. Also, if your site becomes popular, your bandwidth requirements will increase with your number of visitors.
How many email accounts do I need?
This really depends on how many separate individuals you want to have email accounts @your\_domain. If you website is only for you, then you really don\'t need more than one email address, because you can set up aliases that allow unlimited email names all to be forwarded to your primary account. Also we can set it up so that all unmatched email comes to you. That way you have any number of email addresses that you would like
Do I need a hosting plan with database access?
This depends on the functions you require with your website. Simple informational websites will not require a database, however, if you intend to add dynamic features like a message board, e-commerce, or custom programmed features, it is likely you will need at least 1 if not more databases.
