Account
settings are listed at the top of the info/control area.
-
Plan:
the arrangement of resources and services you are subscribed
to. To change your plan, click the icon next to the plan name.
-
Billing
period: the period of time you pay for. Your payments include
recurrent fees charged at the beginning of the billing period
and usage fees charged at the end of the billing period. Click
the icon to switch to a different billing period.
-
User:
the name by which you are known to the hosting system. It's
the same as your control panel login.
-
FTP
Login: the login name you use when you upload your site
to your home directory on the server.
-
Domains:
the sites you host in this account. Within one account, you
can host as many sites as your plan allows.
Total Traffic
This is the total amount of information transferred
to and from your account by Internet visitors and yourself from
the beginning of the current billing month.
Example: If your billing period is 2 months
long and started on the 5th of October, the first billing month
will end on the 5th of November, and your total traffic will be
reset. However, if you change your total traffic limit, your traffic
will be reset and a new billing month will start.
If you expect to run up more traffic than comes
with your plan, it's a good idea to raise your traffic limit. To
do so, click the second icon:
Total traffic limit is the amount of traffic
you pay for in advance. It is charged at the recurrent fee. However:
- if you fail to run up all your quota resource,
you are not returned the payment for the unused megabytes;
- if you exceed the quota, you are charged usage fee per each
gigabyte of the excess traffic.
You can always buy additional amount of the resource
in order not to be charged the extra payment.
The system e-mails you a notification when you
have used 80% of the traffic limit.
Control Panel navigation is not included into the
total traffic.
Disk Quota
This is the disk space you are actively using out
of the disk space allocated to your account. There should always
be several megabytes of slack (unused space) to ensure correct performance
of statistics reporting utilities, such as Webalizer or Modlogan.
Click the Change icon to buy extra disk storage if you presume it
is insufficient:
