HostArmada does not impose any hard limitations on the Bandwidth your websites
can generate. Using more than the
Acceptable Bandwidth Usage
for your Web Hosting Plan
WILL NOT
be billed by our system automatically and
WILL NOT
result in automated limitations put by our monitoring system in any form.
The bandwidth value that we consider Acceptable derives from routine tests on
our shared hosting servers and our long experience in the field. The nature of
the shared hosting environment implies that many users share the available
resources of the same web hosting server. Therefore, we must ensure that each
user gets his fair share of hardware resources offered by his chosen plan and is
not, by any means, limited to do so by other users hosted on the same
infrastructure.
With the above in mind, we need to guarantee that each of our customers utilizes
an amount of bandwidth that does not harm the server's performance. Excessive
bandwidth usage can affect resources such as CPU, RAM, and I/O operations,
consequently hindering the other customers' experience. Utilizing a large amount
of bandwidth can easily influence your own website's uptime and access to the
resources mentioned above and can negatively impact other users by compromising
the uptime of the server itself.
Our tests so far have determined the following values for each plan of our
shared hosting plans:
Start Dock
- Average Estimate:
3GB
- Acceptable Usage:
30GB
Web Warp
- Average Estimate:
6GB
- Acceptable Usage:
60GB
Speed Reaper
- Average Estimate:
9GB
- Acceptable Usage:
90GB
HostArmada has not designed its shared hosting plans to support projects
generating higher amounts of bandwidth compared to what we believe is
acceptable. We aim to live up to our values, and we want to provide fast,
stable, and secure services to all our clients. We take this goal very
seriously, and we do not compromise under any circumstances, especially if our
user's experience is in jeopardy.
We understand that bandwidth generation is not always a subject of organic
traffic on your websites, as there may be other means that can lead to a spike
in the bandwidth usage. We never ignore any signs of excessive bandwidth
utilization, and before we inform our users, we gather the necessary data which
our monitoring system collected. We prepare detailed reports that are easily
readable by even the most non-technical clients. You can cross-reference the
values we provide you with the AWstats feature in the cPanel service for your
web hosting account. Our technical team is fully prepared to assist you with
reducing the bandwidth generation as long as it is technically possible.
Our monitoring system allows us to assess the bandwidth of every user closely.
This information enables us to share this specific data with the customer whom
it concerns and helps him figure out the best approach in his situation.
In the case where the client has generated the bandwidth via organic traffic, we
will recommend a solution that will handle and stimulate further growth of the
website. Our experienced team has dealt with countless websites and is well
aware of which solution will be the most optimal. One of our primary concerns is
customer satisfaction and success. We have witnessed many users thriving due to
our advice, and we observed a massive spike in their audience and conversion
rate because of our suggestions.
In scenarios where our clients are careless when provided with the detailed
reports created by our monitoring system regarding their bandwidth generation,
we will not hesitate to take the necessary actions. As we mentioned earlier, our
server's stability, performance, and reliability are always our top priority.
Refusing to cooperate with us to address the situation will conflict with what
we aim to achieve. We will not tolerate such behavior as it will harm our brand
and will put standards to question.
