5gb/day?

[vice86]

This is confusing me....is it still 5gb allowed per month for the 7.77 package but you only don't have to worry about per day usage or is it actually 5gb/day allowed, so essentially you get 150gb in a 30 day period?

[tbonekkt]

5GB per day allowed. You do get 150GB in a 30-day period, but bandwidth doesn't carry over - meaning that you can't use 6GB one day and 4GB the next.

[vice86]

thanks...so what happens if you go over the 5gb day. What is the charge then?

[tbonekkt]

At 4GB for the day you will receive an email warning. At 5GB your site is disabled. You'll receive an email that instructs you to click a link. Then at Midnight PST your site will be reenabled.

[vice86]

thanks for the quick replies tbonekkt!

One finally question...so if they close your site for the day if you go over the 5gb...lets just say for a whole week you're doing 5.5gb a day...will they close your acct for good for the reason that a "normal" site shouldn't be having that much traffic?

and then at midnight PST..3am EST...the bandwidth meter resets.

[tbonekkt]

You're welcome!

That's a really hard question to answer since I'm not an employee. I would suggest asking support@powweb.com that question. That way you get the correct answer.

[vice86]

DOH...figured you were a support member since you answered so thoroughly :)

Ill give them a shout...thanks!

[vice86]

ok..talked to support...constant overage of 5gb a day = close your acct for good.

ok..talked to support...constant overage of 5gb a day = close your acct for good.and you'd never reach 5.5Gb in a day, it'd be stopped at 5.

[Dakota - Tom]

Is the 5 GB/day a rolling limit over the previous 24 hours, or a midnight to midnight limit?

[tbonekkt]

No. Midnight PST to Midnight PST.

[vice86]

so technically you can do 4.9GB transfer a day and be fine. Be nice if it was just 150GB/monthly...no day limit. :)

[Dakota - Tom]

Be nice if it was just 150GB/monthly...no day limit. :)Lots of things would be nice, but just to keep things in perspective, if we compare to other services ($12/mo or less packages), 5GB/day would exhaust your V monthly bandwidth in 4 days, your W monthly bandwidth in 5 days, your X monthly bandwidth in 6 days, your Y monthly bandwidth in 9 days, and your Z monthly bandwidth in 15 days.

Doesn't seem quite so restrictive in that light!

(Of course, those other places also offer higher bandwidth for more money; PW does not.)

[vice86]

wow...one of those guys gives you 75gb a month with 2500mb space...the guy said he can waive the gb/per day and just make it a 75gb/month server plus add a free month

[Dakota - Tom]

I guess that depends on your needs ... big pages but fewer hits, or bit hits with smaller pages, purely a "personal" web page or a small business page. All of those packages above are advertized as "personal" pages. For example, with Z, you're up to ~$15 a month if you want SSL. or a shopping cart.

PS: I figured it was unfair to PW to be directly naming their competition on their support board, so I've changed the names to letters.

[vice86]

Yeah...i changed my thread too when I named the site...didnt think that was right.

I'm just using the page to host pics and some files...so it would be perfectly fine for me.
