However, in the event that use of your service or content presents a risk to the stability, performance or uptime of our servers, data storage, networks or other infrastructure, you may be required to upgrade to a VPS, or we may take steps to restrict the resources your website uses.
- "Unlimited" DOES NOT MEAN that Nethost24 uses complex and unique mechanisms for a single user. Nethost24's service offers a shared hosting service, which means that several web hosting subscribers' websites are hosted on the same server and share server resources. Nethost24's service is designed to meet the typical needs of small and medium-sized businesses around the world. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises or non-typical applications that are better suited to a VPS or dedicated server. Nethost24 will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide additional resources to Subscribers using its website(s) in accordance with these Terms, including moving Subscribers to newer and larger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Subscribers, Nethost24 places automated security measures in place to protect against any website(s) growing too quickly and negatively impacting the system until Nethost24 can assess the resource needs of such sites.
- Unlimited hosting space; Excessive SQL Database Nethost24 does not set any specific limit on the amount of disk space that a Hosting Subscriber may use for its website, nor does Nethost24 charge additional fees based on a greater amount of storage used, provided that the Hosting Subscriber's storage usage complies with these Terms. However, please note that the Nethost24 service is designed to host websites. Nethost24 does NOT provide unlimited hosting for online storage, videos, images, audio, games, installers, executable files, backup or archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, web crawlers or indexers, irc, torrent, file sharing, test environment, etc., and any prohibited use of the Services will result in termination of the hosting subscriber's account, with or without notice. Accounts with excessive database size (i.e., more than 1 GB) adversely affect server performance. Nethost24 may request that the database size be reduced to ensure adequate performance or may deactivate the Subscriber's account, with or without notice. Hosting Subscribers may create multiple databases, however, the size of each database must not exceed 1 GB.
- Unlimited file transfer Nethost24 does not set any limits on the amount of visitor traffic a website may receive or the amount of content a Hosting Subscriber may upload to its website in any given month, nor does Nethost24 charge additional fees based on increased bandwidth usage, provided that the Hosting Subscriber's use of the Services complies with these Terms. In most cases, a Hosting Subscriber's website will be able to support as much traffic as the Hosting Subscriber can legitimately acquire. However, Nethost24 reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes or memory where necessary to avoid a negative impact on other Hosting Subscribers.
