Users agree to not use excessive amounts of resources. Any violations may result in us taking corrective action to maintain server stability by killing any processes, disabling, and/or suspending your account.
User may not use more than 100% CPU out of 1 CPU Core and the usage is limited to 1 CPU core, 1GB memory, 1024/Kbps IO – Read & write operations, no more than 100 NPROC – Processes or no more than 20 Entry Process.

If it is determined that a customer’s account is overusing the system resources, we may temporarily suspend the account to prevent the server from experiencing any issues, resulting in problems for other valued customers. If it is determined that the account is not suitable for the shared or reseller server environment, a notice will be sent to the customer providing them alternative solutions or such as a Premium Hosting Plan with high resources, VPS, or a Dedicated Server. Hostbiswa.com will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision and Hostbiswa.com reserves the right to make adjustments to these limits at our sole discretion.
All unmetered dedicated servers and virtual private servers are installed on hundred Mbps shared bandwidth ports, unless service is sold as a specified port size or specified/requested as a capped port. Hostbiswa.com reserves the right to monitor network usage, and if a service significantly exceeds average usage, to throttle the available speed to conserve network resources. This will generally not include short spikes in usage, but will include, but not be limited to, sustained transfers of significantly larger than average amounts of bandwidth. If at any time any client’s data transfer rate affects other Hostbiswa.com clientele, Hostbiswa.com reserves the right to throttle the service causing such a problem.
Hostbiswa.com performs daily or daily and weekly backups on all of our servers to ensure critical files are never lost. Our daily and weekly backups are created for accounts that are under 20GB and 150,000 Inodes. These limits apply to each cPanel user individually. Furthermore, Hostbiswa.com does not guarantee this feature to any of the clients, and therefore strongly advises the client to regularly perform a backup of their data, hosted with us. In the unfortunate event that the client has lost their data hosted with Hostbiswa.com, will use reasonable endeavors to restore the client’s data; however, Hostbiswa.com will not be responsible for lost data, time, income, or any other resource due to faulty backups or non-existent back-ups or any data loss due to faulty hardware. We highly encourage our customers to have their separate backups if your website or data is critical to your business or livelihood as no backup method is failsafe therefore we make no warranties.
The use of more than 50,000 inodes on any cPanel account (single user) may result in an automatic warning on cPanel > Stats > inodes. There will be no service interruption at this stage but if no action is taken to reduce the inodes, service interruption may take place once a user reaches 150,000 Inodes. Accounts found to be exceeding the 150,000 inode limit will automatically show resource exceeded messages and may be suspended if no action is taken to reduce the inode count. Virtual private servers have a server-wide limit of 5 million and there are no per cPanel user limits. Users with reseller plans have a reseller-wide limit of 1 million inodes in addition to the per-user limit, however, this reseller limit is not something we actively enforce and it will only become an issue if a reseller is causing problems for other resellers on the server. If a reseller's inode usage is between 5 to 10 million inodes we may request the reseller to upgrade to a dedicated server or provide adequate time to resolve the inode usage, if no action is taken by the reseller, the account may be suspended. Budget resellers have a per-user limit of 50,000 inodes and a 250,000 reseller-wide limit of inodes. If this limit is exceeded, we may request the budget reseller to upgrade to a normal reseller plan or provide adequate time to resolve the inode usage, if no action is taken by the budget reseller, the account may be suspended.
Every file (a web page, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up to 1 inode. Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files regularly, have hundreds of thousands of files, or resellers with millions of files that cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build-up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail”, then “Default Address”, “Set Default Address”, and then type in: :fail: No such user here.
The user MUST NOT use our hosting services to offer any of the following kinds of FREE services but are not limited to; Free Web hosting services, Free email services, Free blogging services, Free home pages, Free image hosting, Free trial accounts.
If you violate this prohibition on free services, we may suspend your account immediately, with or without notice, as we in our sole discretion deem necessary to address the situation.
