| Plan | Planet | Galaxy | Universe |
| BUY NOW | BUY NOW | BUY NOW | |
| Annual Fee
This is the annual fee you will be charged for your hosting plan. |
$799 | $799 | $1399 |
| Setup Fee | FREE | FREE | FREE |
| Disk Space
The amount of storage space you have available. You can add extra space (see below) or upgrade your account at any time - no setup fee! Tip: Most personal sites use 5-20 MB of space; business sites average 10-75 MB. Extensive storage needs come in when you post several large files (e.g., MP3, PDF, JPG, ZIP). To get a good idea of how much space you'll need, gather all your site files into one folder on your PC and find out how much disk space it uses. Of course, it never hurts to have more space in case of an emergency! Extra Disk Space 10MB - $2/month 50MB - $4/month 100MB - $5/month |
100 MB | 100 MB | 250 MB |
| Bandwidth Transfer
The amount of data your account is allowed to process each month. This typically includes things like visits to your website, emails and FTP upload and downloads. You can add extra bandwidth transfer (see below) or upgrade your account at any time - no setup fee! Tip: Most sites use less than 250MB per month and 80% of all websites use less than 5GB per month. Example: If your website delivers 50,000 pages per month, and each file is 40KB, then your bandwidth for that month will be 2GB. Extra Bandwidth transfer 1 GB - $5 (one time fee) |
