Determining how much monthly transfer your website will require is dependent on how much traffic you expect to receive. You can calculate your monthly transfer needs by estimating how much space your average page will take up (for example, your website may average 1MB per page). Multiply this number by the estimated visitors you anticipate having in a day (if you have a website that receives 150 visitors per day on a page that takes up 1MB, then you would have 150MB daily transfer). Finally, multiply the daily transfer by 30 to get the total monthly transfer (150 MB times 30 is 4500MB or 4.5GB).

For disk space, you will need to determine how much content you and your members will upload to your website. If your site will feature a number of photos and videos, then you will require a lot more space than a website that mostly displays plain text.

Yes, you can use your own branded custom domain name to make your site unique and easy to find. By default, all Spruz sites include a domain URL that ends with spruz.net. To remove the spruz.net domain, you can configure your custom domain's DNS records on your domain registrar's website. if you do not have a custom domain name and would like to register a domain with Spruz, please contact our Support Team to find out how you can purchase a custom .com or .net domain name.
