Resource Usage

Shared hosting and Reseller accounts are subject to server resource limitations. The settings below prevent any one single account from extensively using resources in a  way that will cause other peoples accounts not to operate well. The following are the limits to resources that each account package is allowed.

Shared Hosting Accounts:

Additional to the features described on our website regarding various shared hosting packages, the following restrictions apply to ensure effective functioning of all accounts in our servers:

Reseller Hosting Accounts:

For our reseller packages, the main reseller account and all accounts created under it (resold accounts) are subject to the following limits

Unlimited Resource Policy

You will find from our hosting services that we have indicated unlimited on some features. What do we mean when talking about unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space and unlimited domains?

• Unlimited bandwidth implies that we do not strictly limit traffic to your websites. Thus, you do not need to worry about hitting bandwidth limit every time your websites get more popular.
• Unlimited disk space means that you do not have to worry about the total size of files hosted on your account while creating additional websites.
• Unlimited domains option enables you to add as many new domains to your hosting account as you would like to have, without any limitation from our side.

However, like with all hosting companies, we monitor our servers for excessive use/abuse so as to ensure optimal performance for everyone. In some rare cases we might need to put constraints on accounts, if their resource usage is impacting overall server performance.

What happens if my account exceeds resources?

If you are managing personal or small business blog it is unlikely that you will run into resource usage issues.

In case an undesirable activity takes place on our shared server, our team will contact the owner of the hosting account providing details of the issue and suggesting possible ways to resolve it.

If for some reason your hosting account needs more resources, you can upgrade it to the next available plan anytime. You are welcome to check our hosting packages here.

Before upgrading your account we recommend contacting our Support Team so that we can suggest the best upgrade option for you and provide some comprehensive information on the matter.

Cron Jobs

On Shared and Reseller hosting packages, Cron Jobs are provided on the cPanel to allow automation of tasks. The following rules apply for Cron Jobs created on Shared or Reseller packages:

• Any Cron Jobs running at a frequency of less than 30 minutes e.g. Cron Jobs running every minute, or every 5 minutes should NOT be configured to send mails. This is because Cron jobs sending such mail may cause unreasonable mail queues and also affect mailing for other users. For such Cron Jobs please ensure you disable mailing. To implement this, add >/dev/null 2>&1 at the end of your cron job command or contact Support for assistance.

We will also proceed to delete your domain from the registry.You will no longer be invited to register services with us. If your hosting was compromised and malicious phishing content uploaded, the hosting account will still be terminated to rid our infrastructure of the phishing URLs.

FBTDL Category Domains/Services

Throughout this Policy, we have mentioned various types of domains or services that we do not host. This section tries to categorize the domains/services further to make it clearer. FBTDL is an abbreviation that refers to the following domains/services

• F – Forex
• B – Bitcoin or any other Crypto based domains
• T – Token verification domains
• D – Decentralised Apps domains
• Logistics – Domains/services that claim to deal with Logistics, Cargo and Delivery services

Any domain/service that is of this category will either be terminated or taken through validation process to validate the existence of this service (for example for Logistics subcategory domains and services). The validation process will be done while domain/service is suspended. It will then be activated after validation is completed. Inclusion of the name or any of its variance within your domain or services may lead to automatic suspension/termination of the service. Mybundlehost Cloud reserves the right to decide which domains fit this category and act accordingly to protect our network.

Abuse Tickets

Mybundlehost Cloud standard policy is to contact the Customer during which a violation of the AUP or TOS has occurred, however Mybundlehost Cloud does reserve the right to suspend or terminate an account with or without notice at its own discretion. The Customer agrees to maintain up to date primary contact email and phone number information with Mybundlehost Cloud. The violation shall be listed in the Subject of the email sent from our abuse team. The Customer shall be given all appropriate details of the Violation as well as a time frame to correct the issue before action shall be taken. Once the email has been sent to the Customer, Mybundlehost Cloud will consider that the Customer has been notified. Mybundlehost Cloud reserves the right to use discretion on the amount of time given for a customer to correct the issue before action is taken.

For example: A violation containing a “Phishing” site is lodged against the customer, the offending files will be immediately disabled and the customer will be given 24 hours to clean and secure the site. If after 24 hours the Customer has not replied confirming they have taken action, further action may be taken such as suspending the individual site and/or suspending the entire VPS or dedicated Server.

For example: A violation resulting in a “Spam” complaint. We shall investigate the complaint to determine how the spam is being sent. We shall provide a best effort analysis to locate the source of the spam. If for example it is being sent from a script, we shall attempt to disable that script and notify The Customer. If it is being sent from an individual account, if possible, we will attempt to disable password access to that account. We shall then notify the customer giving them 24 hours to investigate the complaint and provide a resolution to the abuse complaint. Should we be unable to isolate and/or disable the source of the “Spam” we may place a SMTP filter against The Customer’s service to prevent additional emails from being sent out until at which time a resolution to the issue is made. If after 24 hours no response has been received from the customer, additional steps may be taken to ensure the “Spam” has been stopped such as system wide SMTP filters, suspension of individual sites, disabling password access to certain accounts, disabling of scripts or as a final step suspension of all services.

For example: A violation resulting from “Resource Abuse”. We shall investigate the resource abuse and provide the Customer with a best effort analysis of the problem causing the resource abuse. At which time the Customer will be given a time frame to make the corrections to their code, scripts, MySQL queries or software services running. If the issue is not corrected within the time frame given, Mybundlehost Cloud will then take further steps to ensure the stability of the network and servers and may take actions including but not limited to disabling plugins, themes, accounts, scripts, services and in reserves the right to issue a full service suspension depending on the severity of the issue based upon Mybundlehost Cloud’s judgment of the scenario.

None of the above examples are meant to be specific guidelines with regards to how each and every case may be handled. Mybundlehost Cloud reserves full rights to use its judgment and discretion in how each individual case is handled.
