Terms of Service

// FAIR USE POLICY

Only network/bandwidth is subject to fair use. Use it reasonably and don't abuse it.

Network/Bandwidth fair use:

  • • Use bandwidth for legitimate hosting and business purposes
  • • Don't use excessive bandwidth that impacts other users
  • • We may limit bandwidth on extensive usage
  • • We'll contact you if usage is concerning and work together to find a solution

In practice, normal hosting and business usage is fine. We're reasonable and will work with you if there's ever an issue.
