| Hard Disk Space
Every image you add to your cart takes up disk space. So if you plan on selling many products, the more disk space you have, the better. 200 MB of disk space allows for approximately 20,000 products. If you need more, we can provide it to you at $10 for each additional 100 MB. |

| Bandwidth Use Per Month
Bandwidth is the amount of data your site transfers per month. HTML, e-mail and graphics all count towards your data transfer. So if you have a very busy site, you will be using quite a bit of Bandwidth. 5 Gigs of bandwidth should accommodate approximately 500 visitors a day. If you go over 5 gigs, you will be billed at $4.50 per additional gig. |
