Storage
Storage refers to the amount of room available on the server for your files. This includes web pages, pictures, and other multimedia files. Top  ▲

Transfer
Transfer (or Bandwidth) is based on the volume of traffic for your site. If you have a web page that gets visited 10 times a day, and the page is 50kb, your transfer is 500kb. Transfer is affected by downloads (when people visit your site) and uploads (when pages are modified/added and stored on the server). The transfer limit is not a hard limit, but rather a guideline. If your transfer exceeds the limit two months in a row, you will be asked to move to the next higher plan. Top  ▲

E-mail Addresses
This is the number of distinct POP3 email accounts you are allotted. In addition, one account (usually the main account) is the default email address. If email is sent to a non-existent email address for your site, that mail will automatically be rerouted to the default e-mail address. This allows you to "create" aliases, so that you may have the email address admin@yoursite.com and info@yoursite.com, with both of them going to the default email address. If you do not have an email program on your computer, or if you don't wish to use it, you may access your e-mail via the web. Top  ▲

Mailing List
Send one email to many people with the Mailman mailing list program.  It can be configured to be a one-way mailing list if you wish to mail to people without them using the program to mail to others on the list; or you may wish to have anyone be able to mail to others on the list--this is most common in a community type troubleshooting environment.

If you wish to run an e-commerce site on the internet, the Interchange shopping cart is available for your use.  It is a powerful program for e-commerce applications, allowing you an interface to add/change items in the inventory, and is designed to work with a secure server for processing online orders.
