  6. Are there limits?

    Server resources like CPU, RAM, etc. are shared with other websites in a shared web hosting environment. While your website may have unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth, it will have a generous yet limited access.

  7. What if I exceed my limitation of storage, users or projects?

    What happens if I exceed "normal" usage? If we have concerns about your account's bandwidth or storage space utilization, you will receive an email asking you to reduce usage. Generally, we provide customers with a minimum of 48 hours to make adjustments before taking the account offline. Again, the most common situations involve customers who use their accounts for storage of files—particularly multimedia files—that are not linked off of their websites. It is very rare for a customer who is managing a personal or small business website to exceed normal usage.
