Fair usage policy
Unlimited and unmetered claims have software limitations, and are subject to fair use. Our hosting plans are intended to be used for content related to hosting websites/ e-commerce sites or similar. Using it for storing personal files, cloud storage service, sharing media, content lockers is strictly prohibited. If you are found using more resources that what is realistic or abusing it, we will let you know via ticket to reduce your usage. If any user's usage patterns imposes risk to other user's access, we will suspend the user's service until we find a mutual resolution.
That being said, if you have wordpress site/ e-commerce shop and end up using 100 GB space, it is completely fine. However, if you sign up with the intention of hosting file distribution service and end up using 100 GB space, this wouldn't be allowed. We generally do not interfere unless it is causing issues on the entire node.
