Why not unlimited bandwidth?

Any company that offers "Unlimited Bandwidth" is trying to fool their customers. It is merely a sales tactic. Your bandwidth can only be as big as your pipe (Backbone connection). Even if a provider or hosting company has multiple high-speed connections to the Internet and even if they are load sharing over these connections, it is virtually impossible for them to provide true "unlimited" bandwidth. In fact, if just a few of their clients (or even just one) consumes their entire bandwidth, everything slows down, because they are all sharing the same pipe or pipes. It is like a traffic jam. Your bandwidth fluctutates and you do not get the bandwidth when you really need it. With us, you receive the bandwidth that you are paying for ALL the time. We maintain an 80% capacity policy and we upgrade our bandwidth when we see that more than 80% of our bandwidth is being consumed. Companies that offer "Unlimited Bandwidth" usually suspend or cancel accounts that consume a large amount of bandwidth, since it affects all of their Customers. Also, it is unfair for a lower end account to consume more bandwidth than a higher end account (a higher end account pays much more for their Web Hosting). Moreover, we offer more bandwidth than any other provider in the World (Price to Bandwidth ratio). Best of all, we are able to manage and maintain our bandwidth through this unique strategy. We have more than 6 years of experience in this industry (Since 1996. When the Internet was in it's infancy). We think about every aspect of an issue in "Real World" terms and design everything based on how it will affect our Customers and our Network.

Most other Web Hosting companies will charge you for every megabyte increase in your daily traffic allowance and if your site is doing well and if you receive an unexpectedly high amount of traffic on your site, beware of the large bill they will send you. With us, you do not have to worry about going over your bandwidth/traffic allowance because we set the maximum bandwidth of your account based on your account type or plan that you have chosen. The system informs us immediately when an account's bandwidth is at it's peak or close to the limit. We immediately contact the client via e-mail and we will either advice you (client) to upgrade your account or purchase more bandwidth. We use this extra income to purchase more connections or upgrade to faster connections. We will not allow your bandwidth to go beyond what you are willing to pay for. That is the DRW Advantage!

At the same time, we do not want to limit your growth. We will work with you to increase your bandwidth allowance based on your budget and needs. This gives our clients more control and freedom.
