How much disk storage space do I need?

We allocate generous amounts of disk storage space for your use. To give you an idea of how much space you will need, you can store over 300 average web pages (graphics and all) within 10 Mb. Obviously sites utilizing databases and the like will require more space.

Can I increase the amount of disk space if I need to?

Extra disk space can be purchased by arrangement at our usual excess disk space charges. Please see our Price Sheet for details. Another option is to upgrade your account. Upgrades can be performed at any time. There are no upgrade setup fees - you are simply charged the higher monthly rate from the date of the upgrade.

How much traffic (data transfer) will I get each month?

In short, lots! All KangaWeb accounts come with 20 Gigabytes of traffic each month. This allows you to have complete peace of mind even if your website becomes very successful indeed. With an average webpage, such as this one (including all images and content), weighing in around 30 kilobytes, that's between 0.5 and 1 Million hits per month!

If I exceed my traffic limit, how much will the excess traffic cost me?

In the extremely rare event that you exceed the 20 GB of traffic that comes with your account each month you will be charged $2.50 for each extra 100 MB of traffic (or part thereof).
