Failure to respond to email from our abuse department within 48 hours may result in the suspension or termination of your services. All abuse issues must be dealt with via trouble ticket/email and will have a response within 48 hours.
We are not saying that your web site cannot contain such files as scripts (just one example), however if at any time they consume 5% or more of our systems resources you might be contacted to resolve the problem or if an emergency - your account would be disabled.

Traffic Usage
All account plans come with a predetermined amount of traffic allowance. We monitor all accounts and bill $3.00 for each gig of traffic exceeded. This amount is not prorated, this meaning that 1 mb - 1 gig will be treated and billed as the same. Your account will be suspended automatically by our systems in the case of that the traffic limit has been reached. This is to protect you in case a 3rd party is mis-using your account without proper permission (eg. somebody hacked your account) and b) to protect us as we are responsible for paying the increased amount of bandwidth to our wholesaler.
Commercial Advertising - Email: Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from any dedicated server or using an email address or domain that is maintained on dedicated machine as reference is STRICTLY prohibited. Selling software or services related to email advertising is prohibited, too.

We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. These tend to be a large drain on system resources and we cannot allow it as an account option. You can use the chat rooms provided through our control panel.
Background Running Programs. We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a case by- case basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

Forums: You will be allowed to install any kind of Forums software. However - many cgi-based applications may use more system resources than like PHP based software.
