hello. i've just read the "How limited is "Unlimited"?" and i have some questions! first off all i'm from romania, and i'am thinking to make a videosharing website (like many others), i understand your web hosting supports ffmpeg, that's very good. i want to store on my website some serials,(500gb) and i'm asking you what web hosting plan cand you apply to me, and if my visitors of my site acces my site from romania how the videos work. tks

RESPONSE: That amount of data hosted on a Personal/Business plan will unfortunately count as storage/backup and will not be allowed. If the data is actively being accessed however, the CPU/memory usage occupied by the visitor count will warrant a VPS/dedicated server. Therefore, we suggest that you look to our VPS/Dedicated server solutions for your website.

Hello support team,

I have an online store that's selling digital downloads.These are ebooks,videos,softwares and pdfs and i do have full rights to sell them.These files are not publicly shared so only a customer can download and use the files..my calculation about the size of these files is less than 50 gigabytes or more than that.my question is....
Do you allow this type of business on a personal/business hosting?
I need your answers guys..please.

i would like to upload around 20Gb at first and then increasing, but, all of my data(articles, audios and videos) will be accessible to any one who visits the site. What will be an approximate limit of disk space and bandwidth that i may be able to get?

Seeing the responses to these questions makes me want to ask my own. I'm looking to build a web site to provide a simple photo sharing site for my family. There could occasionally be some movie files included as well. This would not be a public site -- only registered users could access it.

Is this allowed or does it fall under the "archive" designation?

does this mean if I have an affiliated website where customers can access my own developed software, pdf, video files, word documents generated and stored in the server for a document management system for my clients I cant use this service? mainly i am only allowed to have a brochure kind of website and cannot use this for a online business using a personal pro account?

Just for the record, in this post is mentioned "unlimited space" for shared hosting, and I think that includes "Reseller Plans", but on the hosting plans page it states space limit = 50 GB for reseller ASP plan... so? confused. Anyway, I'm ok with the 50GB limit as I was aware of that before paying, I just wanted to post this in case I understood wrong thing.

Reading all these made me ask, so which of the plans that you have is ACTUALLY UNLIMITED?
I mean an unlimited, no questions asked, no monitor, nothing to worry about from payer end?

This is obvious untruthful advertising. I bought personal class because I read unlimited space. So, I spend my money and time, because you wrote unlimited space. And guess what, I'm currently at 27GB and I was told that I'm breaking TOS. So, waste of time, money and nerves. And you know it's probably not even legal to do that, but then again, who will spend time going after you. Just like with everything else, it should be asterisk and somewhere on the bottom it should say unlimited is very much limited.

After all, if something is limited by TOS, then it should not really be advertised with the term "unlimited" - simply put.
Simply be honest in advertsing and everything is OK - for ALL. NO disappointed customers.
Regardless what "other companies on the internet" do - or is regarded as "prevalent" practice. Be better than them - even in word choice ...

Hi, what is the size limit on single file for uploading into server? I am talking about video files.
Thank you

I must ask also, I am in the process of making a website much like (photosig.com) where photographers can upload their photos and have others rate them. This as you can possibly imagine is storage intensive. This I do not believe would be any kind of backing up of pictures. I am not backing up my computer rather my customers are uploading their images to be reviewed by industry professionals. How would this fair to your TOS?

I appreciate your help as I was referred to arvixe due to your reputation for being fast and reliable.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi, I am looking to launch a website that is a social network geared towards models and photographers. for this, I have no doubt I need a lot of storage for images. Is this ok? I am looking to get the businessClass ASP Pro.

Thanks,
Jason

I would like to host phpfox script. Which package u suggest us. We are expecting 1 lac users and 150 users online at a time. They will upload images, video, musics.
expecting your reply.

I'm planning to build a website for a religious foundation. We plan to put online not only our website, but a set of (HD?) videos between 2 times a month to several times a week for our audience to watch afterwards and some of them will be like a distance course. No videos shall be deleted as they must be fully accessible to the audience.
How is that considered at Arvixe?

i want to switch my personal class plan to business class what should i do?

My site works with adultwatch, my plan is personal class, until I can save videos?

which is the most economical plan for unlimited space? business class?

as step personal business account to have unlimited space for videos?

The details of storage has been outlined pretty well here, and I'm not expecting to cross that 20GB threshold in the foreseeable future. (I certainly never expected "Unlimited" to mean "You can host Youtube" after all.) However now I'm curious about the bandwidth side of things. If someone were to start streaming gigabytes of data to users nonstop, what would happen? Would there be a loss of speed, limit of persistent connections, or simply a flag being raised to you guys? Where is the line placed?

Hello, I intend to use magento for one, up to five ecommerce web sites. Does personal class fit this ? I understand magento is pretty resource intensive. Same question for a forum associated with a joomla site (kunena or phpbb3) Does personal class fit this?
Thanks.

Hello, I plan to run 3 or 4 websites on a Drupal multisites install, using less than 10GB total (and max 256mo databases), plus some prod developpement experiments under web frameworks (rails, symfony). I should get much less than 1000 visits per day. Is personnal class OK ?

Read lots of archived data here. Lets say i have an site where my company or another company cud add tickets like this one. But also atach files like an pdf or an video.

If i get lots of users this cud end up to more then 20GB after a year or some month. This tickets whil not be reguarly used becouse they shood be read and then they may be markt as done and no-one will look at them anymore. Is this then considered as an archive? Can i use any of your'e "unlimited" host for this?

If I have videos uploaded to my website and they are intended to be watched as often as possible but then again viewers seem to not watch some of them for whatever reason. Are those videos considered 'archived'?

i am a student and I want to install dolphin in arvixe.. is personal class is ok for starting ?.. i will not allow them for uploading videos only some normal scripts. if yes then how many mebers can use the site at a time without any problem ?...please replay me with approxmately.

Hey,

I need to use phpfox! Think I have 10,00000 members in my site. I allow them to upload only images & attachments! (nor video/ mp3)

still I can use your web hosting without limitations of file count or space?

I do not understand. limited if you write that is unlimited. 27 gb ​​is a limit. I think that induce people in error.is difficult to write it instead of unlimited Xgb? yes because it is a marketing thing. even in the "TOS" would have been better to include this limit.

I have .flv and .mp4 files on the server, i have purchase the video hosting and in the TOS is not mentioned that you can not have this kind of files there, especially if i have purchase the hosing specially for video hosting, and you have such a hosting for sale.

Even if i have files that are not accessed regularly, they are in accordance with your TOS, where is not specified that you can not have files that are special for the hosting you provided (for video hosting is normal to have .flv and .mp4 files)

I have an account that receives very little traffic, but occasionally needs to run a script that dumps a few thousand records into a database. If I have the need to repeat the process, it spikes my CPU usage and shuts down all sites under the account for about 10 minutes. I've discussed it multiple times with support and every time I'm told to upgrade to business class or VPS. This is simply a hobby site of mine, not a huge production site, and it's basically unusable for anything other than being seen by search engines. I never had this issue when I first signed on with Arvixe 2.5 years ago. I renewed my 2-year subscription about 5 months ago thinking I could somehow make it work. I had an unrelated issue (wanted to run Drush) and spoke with support, and was told I have to upgrade to VPS to do so. Drush is much less intense than the options I currently have available. I finally went out looking for a cheap VPS solution, and what do you know, I found plenty. Came back to Arvixe to request some portion of my remaining 1.5 years of hosting be refunded and was told no refunds after 60 days. This is a scam. Hook you on cheap pricing, and hopefully you don't figure out their shared hosting is useless until after that 60 day mark. If you had faith and paid well in advance, you are screwed as they push you to the $40/mo. plan.

Hello, I want to start my own articles directory website what plan is suitable for me. Please suggest.

What is the range of users online at a time on a single website that will not affect bandwidth. My site will be photo gallery type website. I want to know this so i could have an idea of when to upgrade without waiting to see my website affected by it. I know images will also affect the sites performance but i just want a rough estimate.
(Example: 0 - 5k users = personal plan, 5k - 10k = business plan ... etc)

I would like to create a photo sharing site for some of my friends. I will be using Piwigo from the Softaculous installer from the control panel. However, I just read in the Terms of Service that Image Hosting Scripts (Similar to Photobucket or TinyPic) are not allowed on shared or reseller accounts. Does this mean I can't use Piwigo on the shared, personalclass accounts?

I want to create a web portal (some kind of multi-user environment where a simple script -- installed by me in all the mini-sites of my users -- creates interaction between their mini-sites. In other words, if I have 1000 members, each one with a mini-site where he uploads in his profile several photos, not more than say 15-20 MB per profile, that makes not more than 15-20 GB, for the entire community that searches and see the pages of everyone else around. Do I need to purchase another Personal hosting account after the user community grows over or over that 1000 members cap -- or that 15-20 GB limit ? My users will register by themselves their domains, I only will somehow "mirror" their mini-sites in my hosting account (for not longer than a year), after checking them to not be CPU-intensive or anything else, so I have no problems in spreading the CPU or memory use into several accounts of myself, and the script used to interlink their mini-sites will be either a php or some simple javascript code.

Can I host a site with 40GB bandwidth in the personal plan?

I have had a recent experience with another shared hosting plan of a different hosting site. While it offered unlimited bandwidth and unlimited disk space - but they suspended our account because our social engine application, according to them, was eating too much CPU processing time and RAM. Are we expected to face similar issues with arvixe too. What can we do to ensure that we do not go through such an experience with your hosting. (feel free to ask more details of the episode if you so wish)

Hello,
I want to make a wordpress website, which will contain only articles and images used in them( around 4 images of 600x300 in jpg format) and will have around 200 post. users can only read the articles. No one can singup or upload anything. Will the personal pro plan can handle this kind of website ( will get around 5k to 10k visitors/day)

Thanks

we have a forum with adult content, at the moment we are running 16 Gb data and 360k file, more than half of them (200k) are an html backup of another old forum. No one file is an archive, all of them are php, html. db, or jpg. No ftp, no mail, no direct download, no sharing. we use SMF as forum software.
The most files are made by a gallery add-on that generates 3 thumbs for every photo uploaded, so a lot of file but very small. They are not accessed reguraly, but occasionaly, 'cause are the users that decided when and which album see. The forum is not public accesible and we are not indexed. we use normaly 20/25 Gigs bandwith per month. We plan to move from our ISP. Do you think personal plan is ok for our need ? Our extimated growth may be 10 GB space and 100.000 inodes in the next 2 years, and we want a biannual plan. Please we need an answer

I am running a dating site and i bought the hosting plan from arvixe.. i will like to know if the plan am using is ok with my dating site for now and how many member do i wish to have before i can upgrade to a business plan and for now i bought a hosting plan of $5 per month and payed for 12 months.. so please is this a better plan to start with first before i upgrade.

I understand that it seems like anything more than 20GB on a personal class is counted as "archiving" based on the above comments, but I am wondering if the following situation classifies as "archiving", even if it exceeds this limit:

There is a user registration system and everything, and they can upload up to 50mb of data. Once I had several hundred users, it could easily pass the 20gb limit. Is this counted as "archiving" if I did not make the data, but instead users did? If I make a system where it notifies the user if they have not used their account for 30 days, and then delete the data to prevent useless data on the server, would that still be archiving? I wish not to upgrade to business class or VPS, and I am not asking for you to tell me to do that. I just want to know if this will work.

I am looking for a service provider who might help me in hosting my present web application serving 2 web sites. Architecture would be ASP.NET with MS SQL for backend. presently I have around 1600GB of data stored in my site/s. This is because it uses high res. image content which I sell as an end product to my clients. I may be able to reduce the above further to come down to around 1000GB and continue with the same for another year or so - within 100GB. Can i use your personal / business class ASP hosting plans to accommodate the above. I can guaranty that all hosted data will be used by the web applications and nothing will be stored as in a repository.

I am puzzled. When I ordered a personalclass subscription, I got offered a to have a service installed by choice, with owncloud selected as the default one. So unlimited storage, owncloud service installed , sounded good. ....

Are you saying now that I cannot use owncloud to store my files online as a backup in my own cloud?

Also, if I can, AM I limited to a certain amount of data in my own cloud?

Cheers

I own a system where I just need to host the site, I do not spend the control panel for the end user, that I create emails and everything. I create institutional sites, some are beaten, do not have 100 visits per month, but some have more than 4000 visits, and use a bandwidth of 20 GB of transfer. I could use the BusinessClass for all my clients? Today I have a reseller account, but I always error in calculating each package, and I see that with this plan I do not need to worry about it.

OK, so I have been reading and I have come to understand that:

my developed site which currently uses 400 MB of picture files (and I do not expect it to multiply by more than ten times it's current size) on my personal server would not trip the warnings

my site which is currently used by me as (a) a learning tool and (b) as ultimately as an information exchange for hobbyist would not trip the bandwidth limits because I don't see it as a heavy use system.

My questions to you is... Since I do not control your servers and have no idea what your server resource limits are, how would I know (going in) if my stored procedures or queries will trip your limits? If you take memory out of a server to add to a different server, then something that was working fine before and was within limits may now be in violation. Is this a reasonable supposition?

(1) I write fairly good SQL, but how am I to know what will tax your servers or cross over your line in the sand?
(2) If my app runs fine during the first two months and there are no warnings or problems, then there are "suddenly and mysteriously" problems that crop up after the first two months with no significant changes to my application, then what options are available other then being booted to a higher priced plan? Can we both call it quits and go our separate ways?

I want to host my CMS web application (ASP.NET + MS SQL Server). Bandwith is low, website will be visited regulary - at the same time I think it would be max 10 people. I have question with database size. I wanted to store all data (included photos) in database, which can reach size 10 max 15 GB.
Base on information above in this topic I suppose that Personal hostig will bu suffice and the disk space and CPU shouldn't make any issue (TOS agreement)?

I want to run an image gallery site using PersonalClass hosting. I will upload around 100GB of images but the images will be scheduled to post it on my site through the year. I would like to know if this is allowed. Thanks.

Hi, I'm currently using shared hosting, dedicated server niestać me yet, so I look at the offer vps. What is the actual amount of data that can be transferred per month for vps. In this review 500GB limit is given.

http://web-hosting.findthebest.com/compare/245-261/InMotion-Hosting-Inc-VPS-1000-vs-Arvixe-LLC-Dedicated-Server-Plan

I've read through this entire column, as well as a number of threads in the forums. I was about to keep going in my search for a new host, but thought I'd go ahead and ask anyway.

I currently host a small place where indie musicians can upload their music. I use software called Jamroom, and have had the site for 5 years. Now looking for a new host. The current site uses about 30+GB of space for the software and the MP3 files, bandwidth is relatively low. Some of the MP3 files uploaded by the artists are listened to on a fairly regular basis, some may not be listened to at all - or very infrequently.

I was looking at your Personal plan, but according to everything I've read, if files aren't actively accessed they're considered 'archival' and against the TOS. And anything over ~20GB is subject to review as to whether the system is being abused.

I don't want to go to the trouble of changing hosts if I'm going to immediately run into those issues, so I thought it best to just ask. Is this scenario unacceptable for the Personal plan, or "on the edge of what the plan supports"? Thanks...

Thanks for the reply, Michael, appreciate it. If the above won't be an issue, or on the edge of an issue, then it seems Arvixe is the place to be. I'm researching a replacement for Jamroom now, and will be moving to Arvixe as soon as I find a suitable system...

Hi, I have a web site that 90% of the visits are from data devices, each one of this devices report to the server every 10 or 15 secons to a page with no view.
so the site have near 25k visits every hour.
the site uses like 200Mb of space and consume like 20Mb of memory that acording to cpanel memory report.
so, there is a plan where this site can be located?

Hi there.... I have about 10 sites all light traffic and more of a hobby than serious business so was looking @ your Personal Class Pro plans...

Hi
I it ok to install traffic exchange script

Hi,
if my web site posted lots of image (let's say 50gb) and will be posted on my website for 1 year (i not sure the image going to be delete or add for some reason), is it alright to use personal class? no over the limitation?

my web site condition is below:
(no login / no download & upload/ no comments / expecting 1,000 visitor per day)

Thank you.

Hello,
I have a Wordpress news blog I want to move to shared hosting. We have around 15,000 visits a day and our posts are pretty image heavy (we post 2 to 5 times per day). We plan on developing a user database that will include an image for every one and a small bio page. Does the Personal Class plan sound okay with these characteristics?
Thank you

Hi there!
After reading all the queries I really got confused! I am planning to host an OpenCart store(For crafts and other creative physical goods) with the personal class plan (with SSL). I'm not planning to archive any files or folders other than uploading the product images, necessary files and installing modules, extensions etc. Moreover, I believe for the first few months there will not be remarkable traffic to my site and in this way I won't be using more that 3 to 8GB of the disk space. Does that sounds like a good fit for the personal class? Also, besides $4/month, is there any hidden fees that I'll have to pay after buying the hosting plan? Your reply regarding this will be much appreciated. Thanks!

I need PHP memory limit 250 MB and Max script execution 300 mins and MySQL query execution time 300 mins.
What package is available.

unlimited space means how much can i know exactly

I need to get one thing of my mind. I have Reseller CLASS subscription and now I got to something that bothers me. The only difference from Personal PRO and Reseller CLASS is that with Personal PRO I cannot open cPanels for my hosted websites?
Everything else is pretty much the same. 50 gigs limit, unlimited domains, cpanel... Am I correct?

Thanks,
Gorast

We are planning a website. We will post 5-10 articles per day, some will be only text-based articles while some will be image based. We wont be uploading any videos (though youtube links are included). The average pagesize is 3MB.

Will the shared hosting plan work with the above requirements? Expecting around 25K visitors & 125K page views per day .

If not shared, will VPS work?

We are looking to launch a website for a new charity. It will be a wordpress site with around 30 photos at any one time. It would also contain the functionality to allow people to make donations so we would require a dedicated IP and an SSL certificate. Is a personal site suitable for this or do we need to go for the business option?

I am an ASP.NET/MVC/Unity 3D developer and want to run a small personal Orchard CMS site for my own digital artwork and mobile games developed (made in Unity 3D and published via Windows Phone, Google Play, and IOS stores). I don't expect heavy traffic through the site, but I do plan to have an online high score table for my games as an MVC app which would take a very small amount of data (a user's Facebook ID and an integer for the high score) which may get hit several times a day.

Is Personal Class ok for this purchase? Can I scale up to Business Class easily if I need to?

Hi , i created a MS SQL Db In arvixe.com. I unfortunately deleted database in the sql . But i cant able to delete it in at the hosting side.

If the database is permanently unavailable, please contact your hosting provider.", how can i delete that database . Not a problem if its not delete , why because its unlimited DB's creation is available.

Hello, I want to purchase a personal class pro web hosting plan and then launch a website there. I have around 30-35 users and for them 30-35 mail id's need to be created under a single domain. They will need web based panel to send/receive mails and quota for each user will be around 5GB. Will there be any issues in email service under this plan?

Hi, I'm thinking of signing up for one of the hosting services arvixe provides. Just want to be sure I sign up for the correct plan. I want to build a site that would currently have 3 or 4 audio files about 30 to 50MB each available to members for listening to. Since the site would be brand new, I have no idea how much traffic and how many times the audio files would be accessed. If not accessed frequently, would this be considered storing files and abuse? Thanks in advance.

I'm going to put my several production websites. Forum, eshop, portfolio etc. I would like to keep as well some small data like word,excel, pdf files. These backups is about 1 GB. Would it be as well against TOS? I need hosting where I can be able to put that. I will not store any big data like videos/audios.

What would you recommend for a site that receives about 60,000 hits a month? Personal or business class?

My mobile application needs to archive all the videos (24 second video) uploaded on it. Al videos are uploaded buy the users not me. What is the difference between the dedicated disk space and dedicated memory? How big is the space I have in the cloud pro for archiving ALL the videos?

How about Disk Space , what is different between PersonalClass vs PersonalClass PRO about Disk Space ? Are they same ?

How about if i sell my digital product downloads (pay before download) and i update the total is 150GB ? IS IT OK ? PersonalClass PRO can store 150GB Download Files ?

Is there an inode limit or not? I've been burned before switching hosts only to find out there is a 25,000 to 50,000 inode limit which can limit me to 5-10 Joomla sites due to the number of individual files CMSs have.

I am going to launch a porn website which is based on subscription revenue model. porn material is about 30 GB of videos. Number of subscribed users which are allowed to watch contents (concurrent streaming) is unknown. Is it allowed on personal adult class plan? All porn materials are amateur category for the website

I read on https://chevereto.com/ Image Sharing Script that you are partnered with them. I want to start a Image Sharing website like imgur based on their script. You allow that on your PersonalClass plan right? (and we get free Chevereto script). My question is if the website gets famous and gets GB's of storage how long before we have to stop this PersonalClass and upgrade to let's say BusinessClass? 100 GB space?

Also this script comes free with minimum 12 months plan? Its also free for Business plan or only $4 plan mentioned on website?
E-mail me detailed answer
