Data
Transfer / Bandwith
Our Policy on Data Transfer / Bandwidth:
At WebRJDesign, 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 with more traffic,
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
pageviews 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 possesions 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 exisitng 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 2 GB 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.
