Twice as much storage space and five times as much data transfer as the £4 package, along with eight times the MYSQL databases and five times the mailboxes.
This package is best suited for professionals and businesses. Here's what you get that you don't get with the Copper package:
Ten extra FTP logins, so your colleagues, family members or underlings can have their own FTP account.
MYSQL web-based administration, so you can delve into your websites' databases and edit data manually.
Catch-all E-mail forwarding. This is really cool - you can set any address @yourdomain.com to redirect to another address, a GMail account for example. This means you can make up E-mail addresses on the spot, without having to do any configuration.
Microsoft Frontpage Extensions - these are a must if you use Frontpage.
Scheduled Tasks, or KRON jobs - so that you can set a task to perform once a night, or once a week, or whenever you like.
Shared Secured Server access, for sending and receiving of secure data.
Agora Cart, a simple shopping cart script.
A whole bunch of site-building tools, including a graphics archive, a load of website templates, a bigger load of photos, an even bigger load of web art, Flash and conventional banner templates, and a very powerful online Website Builder program.
A banner advertising system, so you can make some money from your site.
Online Auctions, kinda like a stripped-down eBay.
Trouble Ticket Express (a fault reporting system for your visitors)
So, as you can see, this is generally enough for even the most popular of websites, the most high-end of businesses, the most visited of blogs.
We find that the Silver package is usually more than enough for most people - but just in case, for an extra two quid a month you can go all-out with the top-end package.
