What is Features?

In short

Features are the extras a plan bundles, such as free SSL, backups or email, and they often decide whether a cheaper plan is the better buy.

Features are the extras a plan includes on top of space and bandwidth, and they are often the reason a cheaper plan wins once you stop paying for the same things separately. Read the feature list before the price, because a plan with backups and a content delivery network can cost less in practice than a bare plan with add-ons. A2 Hosting lists free SSL, backups, staging, a content delivery network and email in free ssl, backups and staging, while 20i lists cdn and Abissnet lists free ssl, backups and email.
