Disk Space Quotas
All new LuxSci email and web hosting accounts come with a minimum of 2
Gigabytes of disk space. If this is not enough for you, you can easily
upgrade. The current base cost is $3.00/month or $30.00/year for each
additional Gigabyte of disk space See the price list.
Your disk quota is not a hard limit on your disk usage. Your
disk usage is unrestricted, but it is monitored throughout the month, and
you are charged based on a 95th percentile of
disk usage (95% of the time, you used less than this much disk
space): this allows you to exceed your quota for up to 36 hours duing the
month without incurring overage charges. You will be charged $0.15 for
each 10 MB (or fraction thereof) that you exceed of your 95% quota each
month. The status of your disk quota is given online in the member
services area. You can upgrade your disk quota anytime in the LuxSci
member's web site.
LuxSci supports optional user-level disk quotas so that you can manage
the amount of disk space used by your users. These disk quotas are "hard"
in the sense that if the user exceeds his or her quota, the user loses
access to many services: the ability to receive email, SMTP relaying, FTP,
etc. These quotas are not "hard" in the sense that it is still possible
for a user to exceed his or her quota; however, once the user has done so,
it is much more difficult to use more space.
Web Site & FTP Bandwidth Quotas
Note: this quota is not relevant to email-only hosting clients.
Your bandwidth quota represents how much data you expect
people to download or upload from/to your site per month via HTTP or FTP.
If you have a lot of visitors, a lot of multimedia, or a lot of web sites,
you may need more bandwidth. If you have a personal home page or small
business page with a small number of visitors, the default of 10 GB/month
(10240 MB/month) will probably be fine.
You can choose your bandwidth limit based on the needs of your
account; you don't have to pay for bandwidth that you don't need.
Additional bandwidth currently costs $2.00/month or $20.00/year per each
additional Gigabyte. You can increase your bandwidth quota at any time
through the LuxSci member's web site.
Your bandwidth quota is not a hard limit to how much
information may be downloaded from your account. The actual bandwidth that
you use will be computed for the month and you will be charged based on
the total number of megabytes downloaded and uploaded via HTTP and FTP.
You will be charged an overage fee of $0.625 for each 1/8 GB (128 MB or
fraction thereof) that you exceed your bandwidth quota each month. The
status of your bandwidth quota is given online in the member services
area.
Users
A "User" represents a distinct login to LuxSci and separate space for
email or other services. This login provides individual access to WebMail,
FTP, POP, IMAP, and SMTP. Typically, each person who needs individual
email access will be a "user". Each LuxSci account comes with at least one
user; the cost of additional users depends on which services they will be
entitled to utilize. You can add additional users to your account at any
time through the LuxSci member's web site. See our price list for detailed pricing.
If you have your own domain name, you can have more email addresses
than users because you can set up an arbitrary number of "email aliases"
which forward email from any specified email address at your domain to
your actual users. So, you might not need separate users for addresses
like "info," "webmaster," "sales," etc. You can send and receive email
for these aliases from any user you wish. This is one difference between
our service and other services that offer 10 or 100 POP email accounts. We
give you unlimited aliases to cover all the various addresses you
may need, and charge only for actual users.
You can also have a "catch-all" email address for your domain(s) where
all email sent to anyone your domain who is not defined by an explicit user
or alias is forwarded to address(es) of your choice. All aliases can be
managed through online tools in the LuxSci member's web site.

Listen to Our Clients: "Lux Scientiae consulted and developed a distributed database to support a web portal for one of our largest clients. It was an extremely complicated project involving database design and sophisticated scripting to integrate web forms with the back-end database. Lux Scientiae provided outstanding quality work, on time and under budget. What I find most impressive about the company is the fact that they always anticipate challenges and proactively recommend alternate and more effective solutions. Lux Scientiae is by far one of the best web consulting firms I have worked with." Mark Miller, Vice President of Audience Strategies, Directech|eMerge
