Other Cost Factors
Internet Direct issues a static IP address and up to 5 email
accounts which are Spam and virus filtered with each DSL account. The customer may elect to order additional Internet or
networking services from us, such as additional blocks of IP addresses or additional email
accounts, for which there would be additional charges. Such additional services are
entirely optional.
Internet Direct does charge an additional monthly fee of
$10 for DSL accounts on which an HTTP (Web) server is placed and actively hosting. That
is, if a customer places a Web server on its DSL line for the purposes of hosting a Web
site run on the DSL line, Internet Direct will charge an additional $10/month per Web site
for the anticipated increase in bandwidth usage a Web site normally generates. If
additional IP addresses are needed from us to complete for the Web site hosting, there
will be an additional charge.
