Fair Use Policy
Last edited 16/06/2024
To ensure the best possible service for all our customers, we have established this Fair Use Policy. By using our services, you agree to comply with this policy.
1. Purpose
The purpose of this Fair Use Policy is to prevent excessive use of resources that can negatively impact the performance and reliability of our hosting services for other customers.
2. Definitions
– Unmetered Hosting: Hosting plans with no fixed limit on bandwidth or storage usage, subject to fair use.
– Fair Use: Usage that does not adversely affect the performance or availability of our services for other customers.
3. Fair Use Guidelines
While our unmetered hosting plans do not have fixed limits on bandwidth and storage, we expect customers to use these resources in a manner consistent with the typical operation of a personal or small business website. The following guidelines outline what constitutes fair use:
– Storage: Websites should use storage primarily for web files, active email, and content of the hosted websites. Storage of backups, archives, or other files not related to your website content is not permitted.
– Bandwidth: Bandwidth usage should be consistent with the normal operation of a website. Hosting of large file-sharing services, streaming services, or other activities that require excessive bandwidth is not allowed.
– CPU and Memory Usage: Websites should not use excessive CPU or memory resources that could impact server performance. Prolonged high usage or activities such as cryptocurrency mining, server-side applications, or computational tasks that are resource-intensive are prohibited.
4. Prohibited Activities
To maintain optimal service for all customers, the following activities are prohibited:
– Running scripts or processes that negatively impact server performance.
– Hosting of content or services that lead to excessive resource consumption, such as large-scale file sharing or streaming.
– Using the hosting account as a backup or storage device unrelated to website content.
– Engaging in any activities that violate our Acceptable Use Policy, including illegal activities, spam, and hacking.
5. Monitoring and Enforcement
– VerdisHost reserves the right to monitor resource usage to ensure compliance with this Fair Use Policy.
– If your usage exceeds what we consider fair use, we will contact you to discuss your usage and may suggest upgrading to a more suitable hosting plan.
– In cases of severe or repeated violations, we may take corrective actions, including limiting resources, suspending services, or terminating the account.
6. Policy Changes
VerdisHost reserves the right to modify this Fair Use Policy at any time. We will notify customers of any significant changes to this policy via email or through our website.
