Q. How does the unlimited hosting work?

A. Ok, so it is hard to believe that any web hosting company can give away unlimited disk space and bandwidth. Because let’s face it, you can’t just go to your local computer store and purchase a hard drive with unlimited space, it doesn’t exist. So how can Webhostingpad.com claim to offer unlimited disk space? Well, they do it by starting each hosting account with a fixed amount. Then as you start approaching that fixed amount they will increase your resources to a higher limit. The reason they do it this way is to be able to manage the resources on each server. If they were to just open the servers to everyone having unlimited resources, it would run havok on the server. It is important to note that you can’t just use the resources however you see fit. There are certain restrictions on the usage of the unlimited resources.

Q. Is the 24/7 support a live person?

A. Yes, Webhostingpad.com is one of the few web hosting companies today that actually offers 24/7/365 real person phone, live chat, and email support. So anytime you call you will get an actual person to help you with your needs. Now this live person is mainly for support and sales where the billing department still has standard business hours.

Q. What kind hosting platform does web hosting pad use?

A. All of Webhostingpad’s servers are Linux based. This means that the core operating system uses Linux which also can be considered a Unix environment. I do need to mention that often there is a misconception that if a persons hosting uses Linux then their local computer needs to have Linux as well. This is not true. You can use any operating system you want at home and it will not affect your hosting account. The reason is that your hosting account is not on your home computer but on Webhostingpad’s computers so there is no compatibility issues to worry about. Linux is a very stable and secure operating environment and is used by 99% of all hosting companies.

Q. I here they are a shared hosting company, what does that mean?

A. Shared hosting is basically having web hosting on a server that has multiple accounts on it sharing resources and usage. It is similar to how an apartment building is structured. You have a certain number of tenants each occupying an individual living unit within the building. Everyone has their own unit but share in the utilities and resources of the building. That is exactly how shared hosting works. You have a server that holds multiple accounts and each account shares in the resources of that server.
