provision.
Unlimited
Traffic/Hits & Server Resource Usage:
HostForWeb,
Inc is pleased to offer our clients unlimited
traffic/hits, and server usage. Unlimited
Traffic/Hits refers to the number of visitors
to your website, NOT the amount of bandwidth/data
transfer. Your account is still limited
to the alotted bandwidth/data transfer included
with your selected package. To maintain
the integrity of our service the following
traffic/usage limitations apply.
- Sites
with banners, graphics or cgi's running
from their domain being used on other
domains.
- Sites
with immense graphic archives or galleries.
- Sites
offering immense download archives, such
as .zip, .tar, .ra and .GZ.
- Sites
running large chat room gatherings.
- Sites
using more than 20% of system resources
If
you do not qualify for unlimited traffic/hits,
your account may be required to be
upgraded, or, HostForWeb, Inc may move your site to a
different server, to reduce the load on
the server you are currently residing...
HostForWeb, Inc will be the
sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation
of usage limitations. Bandwidth/data transfer
will go unmonitored until you reach your
account limit, then normal over-usage data
transfer costs will apply. At any time
HostForWeb, Inc may move your site to a different server,
to reduce the load on the server you are
currently residing...
Chat
Rooms:
HostForWeb,
Inc does allow clients to install their own
chat rooms. However, these tend to be large
system hogs and may fall into the usage
limitations clause. We do provide a html
based cgi chatroom that runs without hindering
the performance of the machine for others.
You are free to run your own chat script,
as long as it does not hinder server performance.
Background
Processes/Programs
HostForWeb,
Inc may allow programs to run continually in
the background, these are considered on
a one to one basis and a extra charge may
be incured based on system resources used
and operational maintenance needed.
Cron
Jobs:
HostForWeb™
does allow Cron Jobs to be conducted on
our servers.
IRC:
HostForWeb™
currently does not allow IRC or IRC bots
to be operated on our servers.
Multiple
Connections:
Multiple telnet and ftp sessions are allowed,
on a single hosting account.
Idle
Timeouts:
HostForWeb,
Inc may
disconnect any idle connection to the
network.
Average timeouts are:
FTP - 300 seconds
Telnet - 2 hours
Commercial
Advertising - Email:
Spamming,
or the sending of unsolicited email, from
a HostForWeb, Inc. server
or using an email address that is maintained
on a HostForWeb, Inc. machine
is STRICTLY prohibited. For general reference,
we consider spam any email that is sent
to more than 10 people at a time that did
not ask for it to be sent to them.
HostForWeb, Inc. will be the
sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation
of this provision. Opt-In email is acceptiable,
as long as Opt-Out/Removal request are fully
honored. Please make an effort to limit
outgoing mail on your account to no more
than 5000 pieces per DAY and no more than
20
pieces per minute. Many times we have seen
sites push over 1000 emails in one hit, this
causes extreme server loads and prevents
other people from accessing server services.
Large mailings
are preferred to be sent from the hours
of 12AM - 8AM EST. Sites with large
mailing databases, need to be placed on
dedicated server or VPS platform.
Server
Abuse:
Any
attempts to undermine or cause harm to a
HostForWeb Inc. server or
customer of HostForWeb, Inc.
is strictly prohibited. HostForWeb, Inc. will pursue legal action to the fullest
extent for all abuse of the HostForWeb Inc.™ Network.

If
any terms or conditions are failed to be
followed it will result in grounds for account
suspension or de-activation. HostForWeb,
Inc reserves the right to remove any account
without prior notice. If HostForWeb, Inc deactivates
your account(s) for violating policy, your

payments, on de-activated accounts. Normal
policy is a warning first, and account de-activation
the second offense. Serious offenses may
cause immediate de-activation.
