Value Site Hosting's bandwidth policy is simple! You are allotted a portion
of bandwidth per month to do with as you please. You can use this
bandwidth for anything you want besides things not permitted as outline
in the Acceptable Usage Policy. If you go over your allotted amount
of bandwidth in a given month, your account will not be suspended
or terminated but you will be expected to pay for the additional bandwidth.
Value Site Hosting provides a bandwidth estimate figure in your control panel.
This is an estimate and is provided from the server level. Actual
account bandwidth usage is measured for billing purposes at the port
level. This policy exists because many users offer files for download
via FTP which is not otherwise measured by the server directly at
this time. Please note that because the bandwidth is monitored at
the port, any and all traffic for your Web Site is tracked including,
but not limited to: FTP uploads and downloads, mail sending and retrieval,
normal Web traffic, etc. Everything that is pushed from our server
to a third-party's machine is considered bandwidth and will be measured.
We have
designed this policy because many users find that hosts offer "unlimited"
bandwidth only to find out that it has a very real bandwidth limit.
Further, they place restrictions on what you can use the bandwidth
for (i.e. no image galleries because they are a large source of bandwidth
consumption). We tell you upfront how much bandwidth you are allocated
each month and you have the full amount to use.
It is
important to note that many sites don't use more than 1 GB of bandwidth.
Your site has to be very popular or very graphic intensive to use
more than 1 GB.
