Policies on Unlimited Disk Space Plans and Defining Unlimited

Tld6 is committed in offering you the resources to grow and not charge you for resources such as disk space & bandwidth unless they are exploiting server resources or violating our FUP. Unlimited Plans does not mean you are able to use your hosting in such a way that it negatively affects the server operation for illegal proposes, or uses the resources in a way that affects our server stability/ performance or other users sharing the resources on the server.

To avoid too much consumption of resources by any single user Tld6 has placed limits on the amount of a server‘s resources that any given user may consume and the same shall be applicable to you as well. While these are limits, server abuse is not limited to these policies and is up to Tld6‘s discretion what constitutes server abuse.

On certain web hosting plans, TLD6 does not place limits on the amount of particular resources a single client may use. TLD6 makes every reasonable effort to provide clients with the disk space and bandwidth resources needed for their websites within the limitations of these Terms of Service. TLD6 monitors all servers via automated and non-automated methods to help ensure no single client adversely impacts other clients located on the same server.

Please note that shared hosting plans are for website hosting, and the storage of backups, file repositories, MP3s, mp4, zip, videos, photo archives, and similar is strictly prohibited. Violators of this policy may have their accounts terminated without refund.

Fair Usage Policy: FUP

A Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is necessary to ensure our hosting services are used fairly and our services operate reliably for all our customers. Resources provided on our hosting services are governed by this Fair Usage Policy. We reserve the right to impose reasonable limits to reduce your usage or pair you with other users utilizing the same or nearly the same amount of usage if we believe your excessive usage is affecting TLD6‘s services/systems or other users.

The client whom, in our reasonable opinion that have breached this FUP will be contacted by EMAIL and ask to upgrade his/her plan to a new dedicated server plan to reduce their excessive usage utilization. TLD6 may also suspend that client account prior to notify that client if that action is needed to bring stability to our systems/servers. Client suspensions prior to notification by TLD6 is rare and is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. What is deemed unappropriated or excessive amount of resources will be determined by a number of factors including but not limited to our policies which includes the following:

Processes

Processes invoked by the web server, cron, shell or any other method should not exceed the following limitations:
Consume more than 128 MB of Ram
Utilize in excess of 15 seconds of CPU time.
Number of open files should not exceed 64.
Create core dumps.
Number of simultaneous processes should not exceed 10.
Execute a script/binary that forks in a way to create a fork bomb.
Programs may not run in the background or listen on a network port. If you require a bot, service or daemon, you should consider a dedicated server, as very few shared web hosts allow this type of program.
Simultaneous IIS/Apache connections may not exceed 50 from one individual source at any given time.
Web processes should not fork or spawn sub processes.
Files and Directories

Inode Limits on our Shared & Reseller Hosting

An inode is a data structure used to keep information about a file on your hosting account. The number of inodes indicates the number of files and folders you have. This includes everything on your account, emails, files, and folders, anything you store on the server.

There is currently a limit of 100,000 inodes on our shared accounts

What is the 100,000 inode limit?

Shared and Reseller servers only allow 100,000 files per cPanel/website panel account This is a "hard limit" meaning that while the limit is reached, i.e. the 100,000 file threshold it will no longer be included in our weekly backups. Additionally, if the account happens to exceed 110,000 files then it will be in violation of our Terms of Service and can result in possible suspension.

The total number of inodes in an account may not exceed 100,000. Every file (a webpage, image, email, php file, directory, etc.) on your account uses up one (1) inode. This is not something we actively enforce and it will only become an issue if a client is causing problems for other people on the server. We will of course notify you if this is the case with a full explanation.

A directory cannot contain more than 3,000 immediate child files. This includes subdirectories themselves, but does not include files contained within those directories.

2. Database queries should not exceed 3,500 per hour.

The limit of outbound mail is set to 25 recipients to maintain the server performance. You are allowed to send maximum 300/mails/hour from your domain.
POP connections are limited to 60 per hour.
SMTP connections (outbound email connections) are limited to 300 per hour per server account. Mailing lists larger than 300 will require a semi dedicated, VPS, or dedicated server from us. Dividing one list into smaller parts to get around this limit is not allowed.
Any mailing list must be throttled so that it sends an email every 6 seconds at the very minimum. If the mailing list software you are using doesn’t support throttling you must use something else. We do this as this keeps the server load from going very high and causing problems for other users. If you don’t do this you will be suspended.
We do not allow you to send to a mailing list you were given or that you bought. This is spamming and we have zero tolerance for this.
No Direct SMTP mailing system scripts are permitted. Mail should be relayed through the local MTA.
