Web Hosting With Free Traffic
Never pay for data or traffic again
Red Rook offers web hosting plans with no limits, and no charges, on data transfer. These shared web hosting plans never attract any nasty charges for either inbound or outbound traffic. For example, there's no "free" data limit...because its ALL free! Whether your web site uses 1GB or 100GB, you won't be billed for any traffic. Our Starter, Business, Professional, Developer, and Enterprise hosting plans are perfect for media streaming web sites that chew through the data, particularly outgoing.
How does Red Rook offer free traffic?
We try to monitor each website we host. Importantly, we don't want one website to adversely affect other sites hosted on the same server through excessive usage of server resources. The good news is, that if a web site seems to be compromising server performance, except for exceptional circumstances, we'll first contact the site owner or webmaster directly and discuss alternative hosting options.
If you are concerned about potential traffic, please don’t hesitate to ask us.

On the FREE hosting plans, traffic is ALWAYS free. If you use for example
2Gig of traffic a day, you will NOT be billed for the traffic. It is
free.
Now consider a very extreme example of a web site doing 2Gig of traffic in an hour:
Large single files downloaded from a website are pretty much "server friendly". They simply use a lot of traffic / bandwidth. So downloading say ten 200meg files will be 2Gig of traffic. All of the traffic will be free, the server and network will barely raise a sweat.
However, many millions of hits to a website generating the same 2Gig of traffic an hour would bring a shared server to it's knees! It would adversely affect other clients on that same shared server. It won't be the traffic slowing the server down. The server CPU, RAM, disk caching, and other system resources will be the first to cause the slow-down of the server. That's when a dedicated server is required.
In summary, if your site does do lots of traffic, but does not use more than it's fair share of server resources, then everyone is happy.
