Unlimited Hosting Features
A lot of customers write to us and ask "Your products look too good to be true, do you really offer unlimited web space and data transfer?". The answer is Yes , we have included some more details below to explain how we operate these features.
 Unlimited Data Transfer
Unlimited data transfer is included with a number of our web hosting accounts, Web Services is able to offer this as we closely manage our network resources. We do not allow certain types of web sites to use our services, these are:-
- Adult content orientated web sites.
- File distribution web sites e.g. a web site distributing large movies, software or MP3's.
- Hosting banners, graphics or cgi scripts for other web sites.
- Storing pages, files or data as a repository for other web sites.
- Reselling or giving away web space under a domain, sub domain or directory.
Our customers are hosting genuine business or home web sites and we have substantial capacity in our network to manage this. We can upgrade our data transfer with our providers within 24 hours should we need to.
 Unlimited Web space
Web Services operate a sophisticated web hosting platform that utilise large network disk arrays. If we need to add more web space we can do this with no downtime by adding more disks to the arrays. As there are multiple arrays any one can fail and another one automatically takes over, as all data is synchronised there is no impact to any web sites or email hosted at Web Services. This dual system also allows us to carry out more complex upgrades by taking down any array and working on this while the another array continues to serve our customers.
We are commonly asked "If you run out of web space will the web server be offline when you add more space?" The answer is no, there will be no interruption to your service.
All we ask is that files stored on your account are linked to or related to your web site.
