| At Hosting Christians we
have chosen not to set a transfer limit. The reason that we have done
this is because a large portion of the domains that we host only receive
around 1000-2000 page views per month. Due to this, they are only using
a small percentage of a GB of transfer per month. Since this is the
case with most domains, when we get sites that are more trafficked, in
most cases we can allow them to have the transfer that they need.
In the case that a site's bandwidth
becomes very resource intensive (10% of system resources, cpu load or
10% of the transfer alloted to that server is considered resource
intensive), we may have to ask the site owner to help with the costs
associated with the use of our system. Normally you can get around
50,000 standard page views per GB of transfer. Real Audio/Video and/or
a cgi or graphic intensive site will consume more than standard page
views as each file that is called by a visitor consumes bandwidth.
If your site receives a large amount of
transfer please contact us before signing up for our services. In the
event that your site becomes so trafficked that it is requiring several
GB of transfer per month, we will contact you to see if we can give you
any ideas on how to bring your transfer down. Sometimes it can be a
simple program change or researching to see if people are linking to
your graphics or files (that is a very fast way to eat up your bandwidth
- so do not let people link to your stuff)
If we are unable to lower it, at this
point we will only pass along the cost of the extra bandwidth. At the
present time, as of this writing, it is $10.00 per GB per month.
We do our transfer in this manner to
try to keep with Acts 2:44-45 "and all that believed, were together
and had all things common and sold their possessions and goods and
parted them to all men as every man had need."
We feel that if we, as a body, will
share the resources available to us, we will be keeping with this
scripture. If you are transferring an existing site that already
receives several GB of transfer per month, contact us and we will find a
solution for your hosting needs.
When you log into your control panel,
you will see a limit of 2GB of transfer but this is not a set limit.
This is just to help us keep track of who is using what kind of transfer
and if you need more, we can analyze the use of transfer by all the
other domains and see how much we can allow you to use over that. We
will always, always, come up with a good solution! The only reason that
we would ever cancel your domain because of transfer is if you refuse to
cooperate or we feel that you are abusing our system. Then we will have
to ask you to move your site to another option or cancel your account.
Options with a * beside them means that this option is not available
with Front Page since FP has this ability. You just have to try things
out and it normally won't let you access the options that aren't
available with Front Page.
