Many web hosting companies provide hosting packages with hundreds of megabytes of web space and gigabytes of data transfer. Why? Because it sounds very generous and they know you'll never use it all!
At
5GL we don't believe in
making you pay for web space and data transfer that you'll never use.
Most small business web sites need less that 5MB of web space and use
less than 100MB of data transfer a month. For example, this whole website
occupies less than 2MB of web space! We therefore offer a budget web
hosting account at just £3.95 a month (approx $5.50)
or £39.95 a year (approx $55) with the following features
that will be more that adequate for all but the most demanding web sites.
The key to managing your hosting account is the easy to use yet powerful
control panel that gives total control over your website. Try our control
panel demo. (Demo only - some functions have been disabled.

Unlike other hosting services, our hosting servers are "mirrored" in both the US and the UK meaning that your site will exist on servers in both countries. Anyone visitng your site will be directed to whichever server will serve them best. This also provides useful backup and redundancy. Remember, for optimum performance and faster access your web site should be housed on servers in the country where the majority of your target market or expected audience are located which is not necessarily your home country.
