Our policy on transfer:
At
Hosting Christians.com, 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.
