Traffic Guidelines
Due to the unique resource characteristics and traffic patterns
associated with certain types of sites, the following are limited
to 3 gigs of free traffic:
- Shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia archives
- Mirror sites or Sites with Banners, graphics or cgi's running
from their domain used on other domains.
- Distribution points
- Any site whose primary purpose is file distribution (This
is any site where 20% or more of there monthly traffic is from
file downloads)
- Sites using more than 20% of system resources.
For those of you who do not qualify, additional bandwidth usage
over the amount allotted in the hosting plan or the pre-arranged,
pre-paid amount will be billed at the end of that month to the pre-arranged
credit account. Billing of additional bandwidth usage is subject
to all other terms of this agreement and no refund will be given
on the charges. We currently charge an extra $14.95/GB/Month for
any extra bandwidth (unless otherwise specified).
CGI Scripts
Each account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are free to use any
CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable
any CGI script that effects normal server operation.
Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. These
tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account
option. We do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small
extra charge that will more than fill your needs and run without
hindering the performance of the machine for others. You are limited
to one chat room on your domain.
Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These
are considered on a one to one basis and an extra charge will
be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance
needed.

We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our
servers.

is prohibited. We consider spam any mass unsolicited message in
the mediums of Newsgroups and Email. If you are found to have
spammed, then we will immediately, without warning, disable your

Abuse of Unlimited Traffic and Unlimited Storag e
Host4You.Net Network's concept behind "unlimited traffic" and
"unlimited storage" is to provide our customers with an unlimited
amount of storage space and bandwidth for active web pages and
cannot be used as a "storage space" for electronic files. Sites
that fall under "electronic storage" are LARGE archives of images,
compressed files, movies, or sound files. Host4You.Net allows
up to 25 megs of archive storage, ex. movies, sound files (including
real audio files), images, compressed files, Real Audio or Video
archives, ect. To ensure proper use, all HTML pages MUST be hyperlinked
to files (.html,.jpg, .gif, etc.) stored on Host4You.Net Network's
server and vice versa. Cgi chat scripts are also not allowed and
are considered and abuse of unlimited bandwidth. Any cgi scripts
that consume large amounts of cpu usage or memory are also not
allowed. The user will be asked to remove any script that abuses
system resources.
