Paid vs Free

[naed_sitruc]

Good Afternoon What are the benefits of the paid account for $3.95 a month over the free account? Be specific.

SSL and a paid domain name (e.g. .com ) are the two major differences.

Here are several advantages of x10Premium over free hosting:

Uptime - Since free hosting is put under much more load than x10Hosting, free hosting is under much more abuse then premium hosting. x10Premium has a 99.9% Uptime Guarentee SLA, so if there is any downtime then you can request compensation*.

Support - Free hosting is run by volunteers out of their free time, while x10Premium features 24x7x365 dedicated support staff who normally answer tickets within a matter of hours (or sometimes minutes).

Features - With x10Premium you get unlimited storage, bandwidth, domains, databases and email accounts plus free automated backups - see this wiki article for a full comparison

SSL

This depends on the billing cycle you choose. Certain billing cycles offer an SSL cerificate free. For billing cycles that don't offer this, customers can purchase SSL certificate from the support desk. For billing cycles that offer an SSL certificate free, please see this page.

a paid domain name (e.g. .com )

Users can still purchase a domain name from an external registrar and point it to x10Hosting's free services.
However, certain x10Premium billing cycles offer free domain registration/transfer as standard - see this page.
Domains can also be purchased from the client area.

*There are certain circumstances where compensation cannot be given - please see the SLA page for more information
