Hosting is the process of storing your website on the web for all to see. Along with hosting comes a whole slew of website creation tools, as well as security and performance settings.

Bandwidth is the amount of data coming from your website to your visitors. Many hosting companies limit your bandwidth and charge extra if your website becomes insanely popular. As long as your are not in violation of our terms of use, we don't meter your bandwidth.

85% of all our websites hosted at GopherHost are using the Economy Plan, and it completely capable of hosting a personal or small business site. If you know you only need a single website and your site is not enormous, we recommend starting here as you are always able to upgrade as needed.

You can host 10, 50, 100 sites on the Standard or Professional hosting plans. It's important to realize that each hosting account allocates a certain amount of resource that will be divided across all your sites on each hosting plan. But if you have many low traffic websites, it is completely OK to host all of them on a single hosting account.

The Professional plan comes with priority level support. You have a point of contact that you can call directly and all support tickets will be answered before other plans. If you don't need that level of support, then the Standard plan is good for you!
