Why don't you offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth like some other hosting providers?
Unlimited bandwidth and diskspace are marketing gimmicks that cause trouble for customers and providers alike.

Be sure to closely examine the host's acceptable use policy. Usually, hosts offering unlimited bandwidth will have a clause which allows them to delete accounts that use "too many" network and server resources.

Our bandwidth and disk space quotas are there to protect our customers as well as ourselves. Most of our sites come nowhere near to exceeding their allotments. Should you require more diskspace or bandwidth, this can easily be purchased. For more on this subject please visit http://www.unlimband.com.

Can I host multiple domains on one account?

Absolutely! You can share your diskspace and bandwidth between a number of domains.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. PayPal payment can be arranged if needed.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. We will refund you within 30 days of signup no questions asked, unless we close your account due to spam, illegal activity or other violations of our AUP.

Do you have an uptime guarantee?

We have no formal uptime guarantee. However we understand that downtime costs you money and we strive to achieve as close to 100% uptime as possible. Server uptime statsitics are available on the network page.

What domain extensions can you host?

We can host any domain name you register.

Can I create additional POP3 accounts?

All hosting customers can create additional e-mail boxes through the control panel, as well as e-mail forwarders and autoresponders.

Can I upgrade my account as my site grows?

Yes, your plan can be upgraded to the next level at any time.

What kinds of PHP/CGI scripts do you allow?

We allow most scripts as long as they do not use excessive server resources, or have any security holes. CGI forums such as Ultimate Bulletin Board are not allowed, we suggest using a PHP/mySQL forum such as phpBB.

The Matt Wright version of FormMail.pl is banned from our servers due to security holes frequently used by spammers. Please use the secure version available at http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/.

Banned scripts include:

  • Ultimate BB
  • Matt Wright FormMail.pl secure version allowed
  • Ikonboard
  • Any proxy servers, including anonymizers
  • Spam mailers
  • IRC servers or bots

How long have you been in business?

We have been offering web design services since 1999 and web hosting since the first quarter of 2001.

Do you offer Windows hosting?

Unfortunately at this time we only provide Linux webhosting.

Does my account come with any pre-installed scripts?

Yes. Mailing list and Webmail scripts come with the self-service Control Panel.

Do you allow bulk e-mail?

Opt-in mailing lists are allowed. Unsolicited e-mail or spam is not allowed.

Can I create additional FTP accounts?

Yes, through the control panel you can create FTP accounts for everyone you wish to upload files to your site.

Can I have anonymous FTP on my site?

Yes, however this requires a dedicated IP address, which costs $4 per month.

What happens if I exceed my bandwidth or diskspace quota?

If only minor excess bandwidth usage occurs irregularly, you will not be billed. However consistent, substantial overages will result in a request for you to upgrade your account.

Can I monitor visitors to my site?

Yes. All accounts come with the Webalizer visitor statistics program pre-installed.

Do you provide a secure server? (SSL)

Yes. All accounts have access to our secure SSL server.

Can I have my own private SSL address?

Yes. We can install your pre-purchased SSL certificate at no charge. However this requires a dedicated IP address at the cost of $4 per month.
