This
document introduces you to the main parts of the info/control
area:
Account
Settings
Account
settings are listed at the top of the info/control area.
- 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.
- Plan:
the arrangement of resources and services you are subscribed
to. To change your plan, click the icon next to the plan
name. You cannot change between incompatible plans, like
Unix and Windows.
- 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. For more information see the Paying
for Hosting chapter of this manual. Click the icon to
switch to a different billing period.
- 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:
Resource
Meter
Resource meter shows how much of your resources
you have used, how much you have free, and how much you can
have at most in this account:
- Domains
- number of domains in this account
- Subdomains
- total number of subdomains in all domains of this account
- Mailboxes
- total number of mailboxes in all domains and subdomains
of this account
