Plan Price
The price is the amount of money you'll need to purchase our service. Our web
hosting plan prices are payed, monthly, quaterly, semi-annually and annually.
Account Setup - FREE
Setup is the preliminary act of preparing a resource for a productive run which
requires some type of adjustment or additional configuring. The price for setup
includes the human work involved in machine adjustments, consumables used and
also the defective items produced while finalizing the setup process.
Money-back Guarantee
We offer a 30 days money-back guarantee for all our web hosting clients, which
means that in this period you can have your money refunded. Anything after these
30 days is non-refundable. (Domain names are non-refundable once registered).
Disk Space
Disk space is the amount of storage you get when signing up for a web hosting
account. It can be used for uploading any type of files - everything from text
documents, to .html documents, to pictures and/or audio and video media files.
For example: Let's say you have a 30Kb web page (which is a big one) and
that you're having a 50Mb disk space (which will be more than enough in 80% of the
cases), that means you can have over 1,600 pages in your web site before
you reach the allocated amount of disk space.
You see, now you understand, you don't need to fall for marketing ploys offering large
disk space at low prices, it's useless. Most of people will never use so much disk space.
So, large disk space at low prices is NOT better, it's just a ploy. We tell you the truth.
Transfer - Bandwidth
These are the terms used to describe the amount of data transferred according to the
number of visits made to a web site at a given period (one month). The level of traffic
is the main guide-line which determines which infrastructure you require for your
personal or business web site. It is also what determines the price you'll have
to pay for the bandwidth consumed over that given period of time.
For example: Let's say you have a 30Kb web page (which is a big one) and
that you're paying for a monthly bandwidth of 1000Mb, that means you'll have to
have over 30,000 visitors to your web site in that period of time (30 days)
before you reach the allocated amount of transfer.
You see, now you understand, you don't need to fall for marketing ploys offering large BW
transfer with low prices, it's useless. Unless you have a big business with so much traffic
you'd need a dedicated server, you'll unlikely use all that bandwidth.
So, big allocated amount of BW is NOT necessarely better, it's just a ploy. We tell you the truth.
Domain name registration
Domain registration is the process of registering a unique name which will
identify your web site. Domain names must have an extension, where .com .net and
.org are the most popular ones. When registering a domain name, users should
keep in mind that domains are tied to name servers, which direct to which IP
address the domain should point. Any server can have multiple domain names, but
a domain name can only point to one server.
Technical support
Technical support is somebody to call, e-mail or message when something with the
service you're using has gone wrong, or you don't seem to know how to complete a
given task and would like professional assistance. Hosting service technical support

can provide guidance of where to get proper help. We also provide several resources

filtering, graphical programming, systems administration, and every other common
task requiring portable and easily-developed solutions.
PHP
PHP (a recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a server-side HTML
embedded scripting language, used to create dynamic Web pages. A dynamic Web
page is a page that can interact with the user viewing it, so that each page
visitor sees specially customized information. PHP is open source and freely
available for (primarily) use on Linux (UNIX) Web servers. Microsoft's Active Server
Pages (ASP) technology as been elaborated on same principles as PHP. The PHP script
is embedded within a Web page along with its HTML, just like ASP is. Before the
page resolves, the Web server calls PHP to interpret and perform the operations
called for in the PHP script. Any HTML page scripted in PHP is typically given a
file name suffix of ".php," ".php4," or ".phtml.".
Over 3500 Perl modules
A Perl module is a reusable chunk of script package defined in a library file whose name is the
same as the name of the package (with a .pm on the end)
Crontab

server. It's common for different sites or servers to generate custom error
logs, reflecting the use and abuse of the system. Systems administrators have to
