¹ Unlimited Bandwidth claims are false and misleading. You are told you have unlimited bandwidth in hopes that you never use much because it is shared with all other sites on that server, which in itself has bandwidth limitations. This sales technique was verified by interviewing other website hosting companies who admitted using unlimited bandwidth claims as one of their "tricks" to get your business.

² Fantastico is a software installation manager to easily add and update programs on your website. Usually included with cPanel.

³ Web Disk allows you to create a secure connection between your computer and the server to browse, upload and download your files from within the file explorer on your computer. Available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh.

⁴ Dedicated IP Addresses are generally not required, since most websites now share IP addresses with other sites on the same server. The dedicated IP addresses reserved for sites that either do email blasts that may cause an IP address to be shut off due to complaints, or require SSL certificates. Dedicated IP addresses generally cost an additional $2 per month.

⁵ cPanel is a powerful website control center that gives you access to many functions that you normally would not have without it. See a quick overview of your space and bandwidth used to date, easily create and manage: POP email accounts, aliases and forwarding addresses; IP Deny Manager where you can enter an IP address and the person using that IP can no longer access your website; password protect folders; integrated file manager and file editor; Fantasico (see above) software installation manager that not only gives you virtually point and click installation of a nice selection of blogs, wikis, discussion forums, shopping carts, Content Management programs, Customer Relationship interfaces, FAQ managers, guestbooks, mailing lists, Polls and Surveys, and a whole lot more.

⁶ 24-7 SSH (secure telnet) is reserved for people who are familiar with the Linux command shell since being untrained can cause a security risk and potentially delete your entire account files if you issue the wrong command. There are two levels of access: basic - for those who know what they are doing inside the SSH secure command shell; paranoid - only allows only the bare minimum of commands for maximum security. Both options restrict you to your own web space.

⁷ Auto-Reply software built into hosting accounts is a one-time auto-reply, such as a vacation message. Most web hosting companies label these as autoresponders which is misleading. In fact, cPanel labels these as autoresponders too. True autoresponders allow you to send multiple follow-up messages on a set schedule. Auto-reply software does not.
