Pre-sales Questions

Q. Do you offer unlimited bandwidth?
A. No, it is not possible to offer unlimited bandwidth at all. That would be lying to our customers. Like everybody else, we are required to pay for the amount of bandwidth we consume to our upstream providers. We then in turn pass this fee to our customers in order to provide enough resources to our customers. This also applies to other hosts as well, not just us.

Q. Can I host adult related sites?
A. No, we do not allow adult content.

Q. Do you allow MP3 files? Do you allow streaming of videos?
A. Yes, we have no problem as long as those MP3's and video files are legitimate. Please make sure you select the proper plan which allows it. We suggest a higher bandwidth and space plan because most likely, since you are serving MP3s and videos, they tend to be bigger files and once they are streamed they consume a lot of bandwidth.

Q. How long does it take for my account to be activated?
A. Accounts are usually activated within a 24 hour period or after confirmation of payment.
