- Unlimited data transfer
- 1 to 10 hosted domains
- 1 to unlimited email addresses
- 1 to 30 MySQL databases
- 5 to unlimited FTP accounts
- CGI, PHP, Perl, and Image Magick

Hosting accounts are managed via the lightweight DirectAdmin control panel, and the Installatron one-click installer helps you install a wide range of popular applications for blogging (e.g., WordPress), e-commerce (e.g., Zen Cart), and many more purposes.
At the other end of the expertise spectrum, the ionCube Loader encrypts your PHP code so that it can’t be copied or modified. And Cron jobs allow you to schedule scripts to run regularly, so you don’t have to execute them manually every time.
RAID 10 protects you from potential data disasters by using disk duplication.
