Goldfish Solutions provides unmetered web hosting this means we don't measure resource usage for billing purposes, however it does not mean unlimited usage.
This means you don't have to worry about hitting an arbitrary limit on your account when you are uploading important files, or risk having your web site shut-down because it got popular exceeded a monthly bandwidth quota. This works great for 99.99% of our customers and makes things simple, no plans to upgrade just to get more disk space or another email address.
So when would unmetered, become metered?
If you are one of the tiny percentage of sites we host that need to use significantly more resources than what we consider fair, we won't charge for excessive usage in arrears; instead we will contact you to discuss future charges and/or alternative options if we deem usage to be in excess.
What are examples of excessive usage?
- You use your web site storage space to backup large quantities of files.
- You start using large amounts of bandwidth hosting files for other sites.
- Setup one web site, then setup dozens of email accounts for other domains.
Remember, there is no such thing as unlimited web hosting
Web hosting providers that promise customers unlimited resources, generally restrict those resources in their terms of service and small print. That hardly seems unlimited or fair!
We want to be up-front and fair with our pricing and services so instead of promising unlimited, then restricting you on a terms of service clause, we will work with you to keep your web site running at a fair price.
