Web hosting features

 * 250 Mb web hosting space  
  200 Mb of web hosting disk space allows you to upload a generous amount of content for your site.  If you need more space, you can add more.  (A random sample of 500 web sites indicated that the average web site requires 25Mb of disk space.  You get several times more for databases, large documents, pictures or other downloads.)  
 * 6 144 Mb free traffic
  Your web site can generate 3 Gb (3072 Mb) of traffic per month, and in the unlikely event that you need more, you can do so.  (A random sample of 500 domains indicated that the average web site uses about 185Mb of bandwidth per month.  This means you several times the "normal" amount of bandwidth in reserve)
