Email facts.

Answer by: Frederique Taillefer, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

Email storage space with Aplus.Net’s Unix-based shared hosting plans:

There is no specific limit to the size of an email box. If you have a Unix-based hosting plan, the disc storage space that you are allocated gets divided between your website, the files you host on our server, and your email accounts.

Email storage space with Aplus.Net’s Windows-based shared hosting plans:

There is no specific limit to the size of an email box. If you have a Windows-based hosting plan, the email space is shared between all your email boxes.

Important: The email space is allocated separately from your actual web hosting disk space.

The email space quota is as follows:

Personal Windows – 125MBs
Business Class Windows – 250MBs
Pro Windows – 500MBs
eCommerce Windows – 1000MBs

Note: You can view the most up-to-date information about Aplus.Net’s Windows-based shared hosting plans at:

The maximum number of emails that can be sent using Aplus.Net’s servers is 500 emails per 30 minutes. Anything above that number will cause your hosting account to be immediately placed on hold.

Email attachment size: the size of the attachments that you can send and receive by email using your Aplus.Net email account depends on the email software that you use:

Web-based email: 7 MB max.
Local Email Client: 20 MB max.

Note: If you intend to share large files through emails, we strongly recommend that you use our Web-a-File service as it is more reliable alternative to store and exchange files over the internet. A free Web-a-File service plan is included with most of the Aplus.Net’s new shared hosting plans: Business Class Unix, Pro, eCommerce Unix, Business Class Windows, Pro Windows, and eCommerce Windows. The main features that are offered by Web-a-File can be found by visiting http://www.web-a-file.com and selecting Features from the navigation menu.
