Website Traffic charges - Save EVEN
MORE with WebAngel.
Have you ever had an excess water bill, where you have
been charged for using more than a certain amount of
water?
Excess website data traffic charges work just the same
way - except that it's other people using the data,
and you have to pay the bill. This is a hidden cost
of hosting, and it can be significant.
Data transfer costs in Australia range from 8 cents
to 25 cents per megabyte, depending on your hosting
company. Data transfer costs in the US are less expensive,
and this is the reason why we can offer cheaper rates
with high quality hosting.
A business website can generate 1000
megabytes of data traffic per month, so the 300 megabytes
of bandwidth allowed by Telstra can often be exceeded
if your site is popular.
The following table will show you how
much extra you could save by using WebAngel to host
your website.
Operating costs using 1000 Megabytes
of traffic per month.
We have used a 2 year period for comparison
of website costs, because this is the minimum period
that you can register an Australian domain name.
