Monthly TransferMonthly Transfer

Monthly bandwidth transfer is the amount of bandwidth used by visitors accessing your site. As an example, If a single visitor accesses an image file that's 1 MB in size, then 1 MB of traffic has been used. If 50 visitors view that same image, then 50 MB of traffic is used.

While monthly bandwidth transfer may seem to be out of your control, you can control how much is used by doing your best to ensure that your site files (mainly image files, audio files and movie files) are kept as small as possible without compromising the look and function of your site.

Monthly bandwidth transfer is easily monitored from your web hosting control panel.

POP Email is checked from our mail server and stored on your hard drive. This protocol is preferred if you check your mail from a single computer and/or you receive large attachments on a regular basis. Since the mail is saved onto your hard drive, you don't have to worry about the storage quota specified for that particular email address.

IMAP email is checked from our mail server and stored on our mail server. This protocol is preferred if you check your email from multiple computers or devices. Because your mail is stored on the server, each computer or device will be viewing the same stored information, meaning that if you send an email from your iPhone, it will also be viewable from webmail or your mail application on your computer.

Customer Testimonial:


"Thanks for setting up my new hosting account so promptly. I uploaded my iWeb created site and it works great on your servers. It is about 30 times FASTER than .mac was giving me on load times. That is really good news."

Customer Testimonial:


"Thanks to Keith Addison of JourneyToForever fame for recommending MacHighway and thanks to the MacHighway people for responding quickly to my every computer-ignorant question. They came through. To Keith's high recommendation, I add my own. They are at http://www.MacHighway.com/"

"This is by far the best tech support I've ever had in my 20 years of using computers!"

Edward Vawter

Customer Testimonial:


"I've been using the MacHighway web hosting service for less than a week now, and I must tell you how incredibly pleased I am with it already. When I recently discovered that my former hosting service had effectively gone out of business, I feared my web sites might remain in limbo for weeks. Instead, thanks to your fast service, I was able to get them back up and running within a matter of days. My netcloaked pages worked flawlessly with only a couple of minor modifications, and your hardware serves up my pages a lot quicker than before. Setting up POP and forwarding e-mail addresses was a breeze, and all your directions and help pages are clear and unambiguous.

The fact that yours is a distinctly Mac-friendly service is just icing on the cake.

So I would heartily recommend MacHighway to anyone, Mac- or PC-user, who is looking for a friendly, responsive, and professional web hosting service.

Keep up the good work!"
