The more robust the CPU, the faster web pages will display for a visitor and the more traffic you can sustain without loss of performance.	Single Processor	Single Processor	Dual Processor
RAM Memory / RAM (Random Access Memory) – Memory is the web server's ability to hold data and support the access of this data by users. It's where the system stores applications and data that is being used. Memory is measured in Megabytes (MB) and Gigabytes (GB). The higher the memory resources, the more programs and applications you can run at the same time, and the more visitors to your website you can sustain.	1 GB	4 GB	4 GB
Monthly Transfer This is the amount of data that passes between the server where your website is hosted and your visitors. How much Transfer do you need? Estimate your average page size w/ graphics MULTIPLIED BY # page views / month. Example: average page size of 50 KB X 2000 page views per day = 3 GB per month. 1,000 GB = 1 TB	1000 GB	2000 GB	3000 GB
Web Server Disk Space Disk space is the amount of storage space a hosting company offers you for your web content – documents, graphics, emails, databases, etc. that is then is saved to a hard disk on a server.

How do I choose a hosting plan?
It's important to choose the right hosting plan that will accommodate the growth of your online business. Consider how many visitors you will have, how many pages your website will be and how much you are predicting your online business to grow in the next year to two years. Consider choosing a hosting plan level that offers more resources than you need today. Then you will less likely need to migrate or change plans as your business evolves.

What is a Managed Web Server for Windows?
A Managed Web Server for Windows is a Windows dedicated hosting solution that includes a software firewall, hardware maintenance and upgrades, backups, system software updates, upgrades and application of any appropriate patches. Instead of using Remote Desktop to manage your account, you'll use a control panel that is more common with a shared web hosting account. You simply need to install and manage your applications.

CPU (Central Processing Unit or Processor)
This is the “brains” of the hosting server that processes the requests for transferring data and files to your visitor's browser. It also carries out the instructions of the applications associated with your website. The more robust the CPU, the faster web pages will display for a visitor and the more traffic you can sustain without loss of performance. The amount of CPU processing power available for your website to use typically increases with more expensive hosting plans. So a shared hosting solution will have the least amount of CPU and will process web pages more slowly than a virtual server. A virtual server will be slower than a dedicated server, which may have multiple CPUs.

Memory / RAM (Random Access Memory)
Memory is the web server's ability to hold data and support the access of this data by users. It's where the system stores applications and data that is being used. Memory is measured in Megabytes (MB) and Gigabytes (GB). The higher the memory resources, the more programs and applications you can run at the same time, and the more visitors to your website you can sustain. The amount of RAM available to your website can often be increased on virtual or dedicated servers.

What is data transfer or monthly transfer?
Data transfer is the amount of data you are allowed to transfer to or from a website. Data, in this case, must be transferred from the web server to the user's web browser and is usually provided in increments of gigabytes (GB) – that's billions of bytes – and allotted monthly, meaning you can transfer a certain amount of data every month. Data refers to text, images, audio and video files that require various amounts of data to transfer.

If your hosting provider has put a limit on how much you can transfer, after the transfer limit is reached for the month you will need to pay extra for additional transfer at higher rates. For example, if an average visitor to your site views 3 HTML pages of 20 KB (thousands of bytes) each and 8 small embedded pictures of 10 KB each, and you get 500 visitors per day, you will require at least (3 * 20 + 8 * 10) * 500 * 30 = 2,100,000 KB = 2.1 GB of transfer per month.

What is a static or dedicated IP address, and why would I want one?
A static or dedicated IP address is a specific number sequence that is assigned to your hosting account. This sequence is unchanging and is used every time to refer to your website on the Internet. Having a static or dedicated IP address can be advantageous for several reasons. If you plan to change servers, you can point your users to a new IP address instead of waiting for the new domain name to start directing them there. It is also easy to upload and test your site before making it live to the world, by transferring or pointing a domain name to the new server. Having a dedicated IP address also makes setting up a private SSL certificate much easier. Many hosting providers use a shared IP address or dynamic IP for all the websites on a server. This means that a different IP is assigned each time your website connects to the Internet, and this IP is shared by other sites on the server. If any of those other sites are banned by the search engines or spam lists, your site will be affected and lumped in as one of the offenders.

How many databases can I have?

Can I have multiple users on each database? Yes.

Do I get a separate control panel for MySQL or MS SQL?
You'll receive one main control panel for your hosting account. You can manage your database(s) from a separate sub-control panel that is accessible from your primary control panel.

What is the difference between MS SQL 2005 and SQL Express?
SQL Express is a watered down version of SQL server that is better to use if you have less content. MS SQL 2005 is more robust, with more features.

How much transfer do I need?
You can figure out how much data transfer you will require by estimating your average page size (including graphics!) and multiplying it by the number of page views you expect to have in a month. For example with an average page size of 50 KB, and around 2000 page views per day, you will transfer an average of 3 gigabytes (GB) per month. Verio plans include 6, 8 and 12 terabytes – 1,000 GB = 1 Terabyte.
