Most of our clients WordPress websites need less than 2 GB of disk storage. The average size for a page with images, Text, CSS, HTML, etc, is approximately 3 MB. WordPress core files can often take up around 1 GB, depending on themes and plugins used.

Using this example, a 10 page website would need around 1.3 GB of storage. 

E-commerce (online store) websites create a page for each product (often with multiple images as well), so the amount of storage needed is much higher. Most small business e-commerce websites will still come in around 4-6 GB though.

All Branded Digital hosting plans use super fast SSD storage. Files and databases are stored on cutting-edge Solid State Drive (SSD) technology. SSDs provide for a 1000x increase in input/output operations as compared to regular drives.

An SSL Certificate protects the data going to and from your site — from personal info to credit card numbers — making it impossible for hackers to read them. And when visitors feel safe, they’re more likely to give you their business.

Unlike many other hosting providers, all Branded Digital hosting plans include FREE SSL protection.

cPanel is the most reliable server management platform. It allows you to easily manage your site files, emails, databases, DNS zones, backups, caching and many more features.

You will receive access details for your cPanel once your hosting account has been setup.

Our SuperCacher offers three levels of caching:

Level 1: NGINX Direct Delivery for static content;

Level 2: NGINX-powered Dynamic data cache.

Both these levels are enabled for all sites out of the box.

All website hosting plans include one (1) free email account. This email account can store up to 8GB of email data, or lower, based on your account’s space availability. Please note that reaching 8GB of email data is not considered a healthy practice since it deteriorates the performance of your mailbox and usually means you store too many old emails, which we strongly recommend you to archive and keep separately if needed.

To ensure that your emails get delivered quickly and efficiently, we have set the acceptable size of your attachments up to 50MB. The acceptable industry standard is 25MB, but we aim to provide you with more flexibility and better cater to your business needs. In case a message is not successfully delivered from our server to your recipient, rest assured that we will try again to send any undelivered email within the next 11 hours.

Based on our experience, we have seen that some clients might become a target of hackers and their email accounts might be bombarded with too many emails within short periods of time. To mitigate the negative effects of such events on your business, we have set a limit on the number of emails received per minute to 20 messages.

Email Service Is Not Suitable for Marketing Campaigns

Our email service is not suitable for intensive marketing communication purposes such as sending cold emails, marketing blast emails, or other bulk emails. We believe such a service requires dedicated resources and interfaces, which are not available on our platform. That is why, in order to prevent the use of our email service for such purposes, our servers are set to send up to 800 emails per hour and each message will be delivered to up to 80 recipients.
