Traffic: Guidelines
In an effort to give our customers the best possible service and performance the following guidelines apply.

Due to the unique resource characteristics and traffic patterns associated with certain types of sites the Ultra Account is limited to 3 Gigs of free traffic (this is 20 times more than a normal site would use).

  • Subhosting - any domain housing additional users
  • Shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia Archives
  • Mirror sites
  • Distribution points
  • Any site whose primary purpose is file distribution

CGI - System resources You are allowed to freely install cgi applications, we reserve the right to disable any program or script that may effect normal server operations. Any site that uses large amounts of these resources may be asked to decrease activity or move to a dedicated server, a variety of packages are available.

Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. These tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. However, we do provide a choice of Java chatrooms for a small extra charge that will more than fill your needs and run without hindering the performance of the machine for others.

Background Running Programs and Daemons
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered upon application and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.
