SPACE
We enter the characteristics that, at first sight, are of most interest to the contracting parties. The first refers to the amount of Mbytes or Gbytes of storage available on the web hosting server to host the content. Both in this section as in the following we have to pay attention to the fine print: If you hire a package, the figure somewhat adjusted to our needs and they grow, each Mbyte more we will come out an ‘arm and a leg. ” For this reason, we must be careful to err on the side.
MONTHLY DATA TRANSFER
Closely related to the above, this property determines the amount of information that visitors can download from our website. Each visit involves a download because, at least, you get the page and images. It is pure mathematics: if our home is 1 Mbyte and enter thousand visitors a month, we’re talking the monthly traffic of about 1GB . Clearly, host graphics files, documents, video and software downloading and increases rapidly exhausted our quota transfers. As in the previous paragraph, if it exceeds the contracted amount, we will pay dearly.
EMAIL ACCOUNTS
The accounts are useful if we want a proper domain in which this service (webmail, POP3, IMAP …) is offered to the members of the company or agency that is providing the web hosting. However, you should keep in mind that the space available for each of them depends on their number and what we have hired. Thus, if we have a service with 500 Mbytes, we could have hundred email accounts with maximum storage Mbytes each. Among the most important features of this service is the presence of embedded antivirus and antispam filters, which will minimize the effects of this type of malicious code in the accounts under our control.
