How much disk space do I need?
Most web sites need very little disk space for web pages. For example our site uses less than 1 megabyte of
disk space and has over 100 pages. We allocate 75 megs of your allowed disk space for all our plans
toward your log files and site statistics. The remainder can be used for your web site and POP3 email.
If your site has an average of 40K of graphics and html for each page, 50 megs. will cover 1,800 Pages.
How much data transfer do I need?
Over 97% of our accounts use less than 1000 megabytes of monthly data transfer.
All of our plans except our starter plan include 4 times this amount. Using our site as an example our
pages average less than 40Kb in html and graphics per page. 4000 megabytes of monthly transfer
calculates to than 100,000 page accesses.
What's the difference between a "hit" and a page access? If you have a page that has a total of 25 html
and image files, each page access equals 25 hits. Our pages average 5 html and image files which equals
600,000 hits per month, per 4,000 megabytes of data transfer.
What is a POP3 email account?
POP3 accounts will provide a login name and password to retrieve your email from a Host Express
account using any popular email client such as Microsoft Outlook, Netscape Communicator, Eudora etc.
What is an alias/email forward?
An email Alias/Forward is an email address @ your domain name. This will forward to a
POP3 Account here at PCAngels.Net or any other address on the Internet. Here are a few examples.
Here are Alias/Forward examples to another email address on the net:
E-mail Alias/Forward Other email address
sue@your_name.com forwards to sue@aol.com
joe@your_name.com forwards to joe@mci.net
What are email autoresponders?
Email autoresponders are just that. Anytime an email is received by a specific address an email is
automatically sent back to the person who sent it. This is sometimes called a vacation program.
You could setup for example an autoresponders on info@your_domain.com to send back an auto
response of "Thank you for requesting information. A representative will be contacting you shortly."
You have complete control over which address/es have an autoresponders and what message is emailed
back using a simple on-line form included with your account.

Configure custom error pages
Adding custom error pages requires creating a normal html page with an appropriate name.
1) To have a custom page displayed when a page is not found create your html page, name it not_found.html and copy it
to your htdocs directory.
2) To have a custom cgi-error page displayed for server errors create your html page, name it cgi_error.html and copy it to
your htdocs directory.
