Unlimited Traffic/Hits & Server
Resource Usage
Gayle Force Design
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,
Gayle Force Design
may move your site to a different server, to reduce the
load on the server you are currently residing...
Gayle Force Design
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
Gayle Force Design
may move your site to a different server, to reduce the
load on the server you are currently residing...
Chat Rooms
Gayle Force Design
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
Gayle Force Design
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
Gayle Force Design
does allow Cron Jobs to be conducted on our servers.
IRC
Gayle Force Design
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
Gayle Force Design
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
Gayle Force Design
server or using an email address that is maintained on a
Gayle Force Design. 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.
Gayle Force Design
will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a
violation of this provision. Opt-In email is acceptable,
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
Gayle Force Design
server or customer of
Gayle Force Design
is strictly prohibited.
Gayle Force Design
will pursue legal action to the fullest extent for all
abuse of the
Gayle Force Design
Network.
Suspension/De-Activation
If any terms or conditions are failed to be followed it
will result in grounds for account suspension or
de-activation.
Gayle Force Design
reserves the right to remove any account without prior
notice. If
Gayle Force Design
deactivates your account(s) for violating policy, your
will forfeit your rights to a refund...and none will be
given. No refunds for advance 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.
