Resource Usage

g) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
h) Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes
Fred's Used Websites is required by our service provider to abide by their resource usage terms. These terms are outlined in the box on the right. Resources are not only disk space and bandwidth but also the amount of CPU resources required and the actual number of files (referred to as inodes on right).
Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension.
The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall email address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit.
Fred's Used Websites normally configure each client account with the catchall address disabled, however even a single email address that is ignored can rapidly be filled with thousands of messages if that account is being targeted by SPAM and you are not regularly checking it.
Bandwidth Usage
You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.
Uptime Guarantee
Fred's Used Websites does not guarantee your site's uptime. Our service provider assures a 99.9% uptime of the server itself. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor's network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please contact fred@fredsusedwebsites.com with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email.
