Normal Usage Guidelines
Unlimited Bandwidth, Disk Usage, Email and FTP accounts and other Unlimited
Resources.
WEB5 provides Users with bandwidth, disk space and other resources, such as
e-mail, mysql databases, and/or file-transfer-protocol ("FTP") accounts, the
amount of which is defined in WEB5's web pages describing the package of
Services purchased at the time of purchase. In some cases, WEB5 may not
establish a specific amount of bandwidth, disk space and other resources, and
refer to that as "Unlimited". In all cases, the Services are intended for normal
use only, and any activity that results in excessive usage that is inconsistent
with normal usage patterns is strictly prohibited. WEB5 reserves the right
to suspend, discontinue or delete the accounts of Users whose use of disk space,
bandwidth or other resources results in or presents the risk of degradation of
service to other customers, regardless of the amount of disk space, bandwidth or
other resources included in the User's plan. User agrees that such usage shall
not exceed the amounts set by WEB5 for the Services purchased (the "Agreed
Usage") and is additionally subject to normal usage guidelines established by
WEB5 as in effect from time to time. These allotments are optimized and
dedicated towards serving the Content and User's active electronic mail services
related solely to User's web hosting account(s) with WEB5.
Hosting space is intended for normal use only, and is limited to Web files,
active e-mail and content of the hosted Web sites, not for storage (whether of
media, e-mails, or other data). Hosting space further may not be used as offsite
storage of electronic files, electronic mail or FTP hosts. You are responsible
for removing any files, e-mails or other data which do not meet these
requirements, and for adhering to any usage requirements or limits allocated to
your account(s). Failure to do so may result in removal and deletion of such
materials (including without limitation files and e-mails), and/or in
discontinuation of your services or account, which actions we may take in our
sole discretion.
WEB5 may monitor User's use of bandwidth, disk usage and other resources.
WEB5, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to take any corrective
action if User's utilization of bandwidth, disk usage or other resources exceeds
the Agreed Usage, or normal usage by our typical shared hosting customer,
resource usage, or is used for other improper storage or usage. Such corrective
action may include the assessment of additional charges, disconnection or
discontinuance of any and all Services, removal or deletion of User's Web site,
User Content, User's electronic mail and e-mail services and/or other materials
and services or termination the User's account and of this Agreement, which
actions may be taken in WEB5's sole and absolute discretion.
Unlimited Domains
Unlimited domains refers to subdomains, parked domains and add-on domains. In
all cases (even those described as “unlimited”), the Services are intended for
normal use only, and any activity that results in excessive usage that is
inconsistent with normal usage patterns is strictly prohibited. WEB5
reserves the right to suspend, discontinue or delete the accounts of Users whose
use of unlimited subdomains, parked domains and add-on domains results in or
presents the risk of degradation of service to other customers, regardless of
the amount of domains included in the User's plan. User agrees that such usage
shall not exceed the amounts set by WEB5 for the Services purchased (the
"Agreed Usage") and is additionally subject to normal usage guidelines
established by WEB5 as in effect from time to time. These allotments are
optimized and dedicated towards serving the Content and User's active electronic
mail services related solely to User's web hosting account(s) with WEB5.
User is responsible for complying with any usage requirements or limits for
bandwidth, disk space or other resources, and monitoring such usage to ensure
the Web site does not violate such requirements or exceed normal usage limits,
Agreed Usage, or other limits allocated for the account(s) and otherwise
complies with this Agreement. WEB5 will use commercially reasonable efforts
to e-mail Users who are at or near their utilization limits, but WEB5 does
not take responsibility if e-mail notification(s) is not received by the User.
WEB5 reserves the right to discontinue service through the beginning of the
next month for your account in the event that it exceeds the any such allotment.
If WEB5 takes any such corrective action under this section, User shall not
be entitled to a refund or credit of any fees paid prior to such action.
Disproportionate Server Loads
While our shared services are suitable for personal or small business customers,
there comes a time for some websites when they are better suited for a larger
plan, which allows for more dedicated CPU and memory resources. We reserve the
right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue service to any customer with a
website or other hosted data that takes up more resources (indicated above in
#20) of the server's CPU in any consecutive 6 hour period. This means that if
your website is found to be utilizing more resources of the CPU and/or memory of
our server, we reserve the right to take your site offline. If this becomes
necessary, you can either upgrade your hosting package, or request a pro-rated
refund of the amount you have paid in advance for the services. Due to the
severity of this, and our ability to act quickly to correct these situations to
avoid server issues, we will do everything reasonably feasible to provide you
with a warning prior to taking your site offline, but we accept no obligation to
do so.
INODES
The use of more than 250,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result
in suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 100,000 inode limit will
automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid overusage. Every file
(a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. Sites that
slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts
that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis,
have hundreds of thousands of files, and cause file system damage will be flagged
for permenent suspension. Exceeding 250,000 inodes the cPanel account will be Permanently Suspended (without notice), the restoration fees is $25 USD per cPanel account.
However, in accordance with our Terms of Service, we may
remove any materials that, in our sole discretion, may be illegal, may subject
us to liability, or which may violate this Acceptable Use Policy. WEB5 may
cooperate with legal authorities and/or third parties in the investigation of
any suspected or alleged crime or civil wrongdoing.
WEB5 reserves the right to take reasonable preventative or corrective action
to ensure that compliance with its Acceptable Use Policy is adhered to by all
users of the service. Your violation of this Acceptable Use Policy may result in
the suspension or immediate termination of your account or other services
WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE. Acceptance and adherence to the WEB5's Acceptable
Use Policy (AUP) is a part of the WEB5's Terms of Service (TOS) to which
each user of the service has agreed to.
If you have any questions about this Acceptable Use Policy, please contact us by opening a ticket through our Support Center.
