Unlimited Bandwidth Policy

1. What "Unlimited Bandwidth" Means

"Unlimited" means we do not impose a fixed cap on your monthly bandwidth usage. Instead, your website may use as much data transfer as required, as long as it complies with our Acceptable Use Policy and does not negatively impact other users on the same server.

2. What's Not Allowed (Abusive Usage)

1. Hosting or distributing large files (e.g., backup dumps, raw videos, software packages) unrelated to your website's operations.
2. Running public file-sharing, streaming, torrent, or mirror services.
3. Excessive use of server resources (CPU, RAM, disk I/O) that impacts server performance for other users.
4. Hosting proxy scripts, VPN services, mining operations, or game servers on shared hosting plans.
5. Using your hosting plan as a content delivery network (CDN) substitute or for bulk email sending.
6. Spamming or botnet operations.

To prevent abuse, we prohibit the following activities under unlimited bandwidth:
