Can I serve more than one domain name from my site?

Yes, you can serve several domains and/or sub domains with each of our accounts. The number of domains you can host depends on the hosting plan you have. For example on our $9.95 plan you can host 5 completely separate domains. It is just like having 5 accounts in one. (e.g. $1.99 per domain per month)

Do you place advertising on my site?

No, we do not put any advertising on your site, nor will we ever do this in the future.

Do you throttle the bandwidth available for my site?

No. Some web hosting companies limit the amount of data that your site can deliver in bursts or per second, making busy web sites slower. We do not do this, so sites have access to our full server and network resources. This means at peak times when many people are 'hitting' your site, loading times will remain fast.

So how fast is Hummingbird Hosting?

One of the key features of our Hosting service is that our servers and network are very fast. Due to our multiple Gigabit connections, totaling over 5 Gigabit and the unthrottled bandwidth, our clients have access to a high response, high speed data transfer. Coupled this with our current range of dual Xeon 2 Ghz + servers with 2 Gigabytes or more of RAM, (our servers typical average 5 - 10% CPU usage over any 24 hour period) and the result is extremely fast and reliable hosting by any standards.

What do other people say about Hummingbird Hosting?

We were rated the Best of the Best Hosting Company by Hosting Catalog.com. This is what they said, "In the case of Hummingbird Hosting we have very little to say about them other than: They rock! We tested out their servers, and their customized version of Plesk control panel, coupled with the speed at which they operate (both support and servers) makes them one of the top hosts in our book..... " In June 2005 we were proud to be voted the Shared Web Hosting Award Winning Provider. We are a proud member of Hosting Assured.

Are there any hidden costs?

No! absolutely not. Hummingbird hosting does not believe in hidden costs. The price you see is the price you pay, furthermore we've never passed a price increase on to our customers!
