Shared hosting explanations

Bandwidth / Transfer / Hits

On our Small account you have 10GB. Any outbound traffic from your web site is considered data transfer. Each time a html file, graphic file or any other element on your web page is loaded, data transfer is generated.

Disk Storage

Disk storage refers to the amount of server disk storage your account is allocated. This space is used to store your html files, graphics, audio/video files and all other files that make up your web site.

Domain registration

Register your new domain name within 5 minutes with UnitSpeed Host and UnitDomain.com at only $14.95 / year.

Email Accounts

Each of our shared hosting packages comes with email accounts in addition to email forwards and aliases. You have the option to retrieve email directly from mailboxes on the mail server using an email program such as Eudora, Outlook or Outlook Express.

Email Aliases / Forwards

Using Email Aliases or forwarders gives you the ability to receive any email at *@your-actual-domain.com. Specific email addresses that you want to forward out of your domain to another email account can be accomplished through your control panel or by editing your .redirect file within your /home directory. For example you may want to forward all email addressed to sales@your-actual-domain.com to an AOL account such as james232@aol.com or another POP3 account on your domain james@your-actual-domain.com. The best part about using aliases or forwards is that the person emailing you never knows the mail is being redirected.
