Unlimited - Please note resources are still technically limited by CPU/RAM/Disk Space available on the server.

[1] - For security reasons, certain PHP modules (exec, proc_open, system, etc) are disabled and cannot be enabled on our Personal, Business, Premium, and Reseller services.

[2] - Charges may apply for upgrades other than between Personal/Business plans, as the hosting environment changes.

[3] - Further restrictions may apply on a case by case basis. Marketing emails should be sent from a dedicated service like mailchimp.com or campaignmonitor.com



[4] - Server Management is optional on VPS and Dedicated servers but is included in all shared hosting.
