What is Appropriate Usage?
ReliableWebsiteHost.com is designed to serve the web hosting
needs of small, independently owned and operated businesses in a single
country. It is not appropriate to use our services to support large enterprises
or internationally based businesses with a sustained demand that places undue
burden on our systems or negatively impacts use by small, independently owned
and operated businesses.
ReliableWebsiteHost.com is a shared web hosting service,
which means that a number of customers' web sites and other email or storage
services are hosted from the same server. ReliableWebsiteHost.com uses abuse
controls to help ensure that use of our services does not adversely affect the
performance of our system or other customers' sites. It is not appropriate to
use an account primarily as an online storage space or for archiving electronic
files.
Disk Space
If you use your services consistently with the terms of
Service and these paragraphs, your site can grow as large as necessary to meet
your small business needs, but to ensure a great experience for all, we will
place some constraints on how fast you can grow. The vast majority of our
customers' sites grow at rates well within our rules, but our abuse controls
may cause a brief delay while we evaluate if expansion is appropriate for your
particular plan.
ReliableWebsiteHost.com Customers may not initiate the
following (below), if any customer does ReliableWebsiteHost.com may terminate
the account with no refund. Depending on the situation there will/won't be
warnings sent.

Bandwidth
In most cases, if you use our services consistently with our
terms of Service, visitors to your web site will be able to download and view
as much content from your site as they like. However, in certain circumstances,
our server processing power, server memory, or abuse controls could limit
downloads from your site. You will always be able to use as much bandwidth as
your account has. For example our Enterprise Plan comes with 40GB bandwidth
which is a huge amount, all of this 40GB can be used. Bandwidth is also reset
every month.
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.

space limits, but e-mail will not bounce if you have hit said limits. This only
applies for IMAP or POP3 with the "leave copy on server" option.
Unlimited
You may have noticed all of our accounts come with unlimited
email accounts, sub-domains, FTP accounts and in some
