You get access to unlimited bandwidth (for smooth data downloading) at this price tier, which supports multimedia websites even better. The 10GB of storage space you get makes this plan highly suitable for small business leaders and entrepreneurs who need to showcase their work through lots of images and text. By the end of the year you should know whether you like those features enough to pay extra for them in your second year.
