Shared Hosting

Hosting space is intended for use in accordance with Server Abuse Policy, and is limited to Web files, active e-mail and content of the hosted Subscriber Websites, not for storage (whether of media, e-mails, or other data). Hosting space further may not be used as offsite storage of electronic files, e-mail or FTP hosts. Flexihostings expressly reserves the right to review every user account for excessive usage of CPU, bandwidth, disk space and other resources that may be a result of your violation of this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy.

Unlimited Hosting Space; Excessive Server Resources

Flexihostings does not set defined limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber's Website or charge fees based on the amount of storage used. However, use of Flexihostings resources must be consistent with a shared hosting environment and must otherwise comply with this Agreement. Accounts with a large number of files (inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse effect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of database tables (i.e., in excess of 3000 database tables) or of an excessive database size (i.e., in excess of 10GB total database usage or 5GB database usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server. In the event Subscriber exceeds these amounts, Flexihostings may request that a Subscriber’s number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper service performance. Flexihostings reserves the right to terminate a Subscriber account, with or without notice, for excessive use of resources that result in a degradation of server performance or the Services.

Unlimited File Transfer

Flexihostings does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of visitor traffic Subscriber Websites can receive or on the amount of content a Subscriber can upload to Subscriber Websites in any given month, nor does Flexihostings charge additional fees based on the increased use of bandwidth, as long as the Subscriber's use of the Services complies with this Agreement. In most cases, Subscriber Websites will be able to support as much traffic as the Subscriber can legitimately acquire. However, Flexihostings reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Subscribers.
