AmericaHosts Web Hosting CGI Abuse
Policy |
|
| |
|
AmericaHosts Web Hosting allows CGI to be
used on all Servers. CGI can be resource intensive however,
and because a Server may be shared with other Users, we must
limit how much of the CPU can be used by any one account on a
server. There are several reasons why AmericaHosts Web Hosting
has created its CGI Abuse policy for its users:
Any site whose CGI programs are using excessive amounts of
system resources. Excessive amounts is defined as any amount
that adversely effects normal server performance or service to
other AmericaHosts Web Hosting Customers. AmericaHosts Web Hosting
is the sole determinant of what constitutes adverse server
performance.
- Due to their use of flat files instead of
databases, AmericaHosts Web Hosting does not allow the use
of UBB or YABB bulletin boards. Use of these boards for
forums, results in system performance degradation, and
cannot be allowed in our server environment. AmericaHosts Web Hosting
suggests using VBulletin or phpBB as a more efficient,
database-driven alternative to these bulletin boards.
AmericaHosts Web Hosting does not allow chat rooms,
however you can link your site to a
chat provider. Some examples of chat providers are:
www.humanclick.com, www.liveperson.com, and
www.livehumanhelp.com.
A server may be shared, and as such, there may be many
accounts per machine. In all fairness, AmericaHosts Web Hosting
cannot allow one or two Clients to monopolize the System
resources on a shared machine and have all other Clients on
the machine suffer because of it. Excessive CPU usage by one
or more Clients causes extreme slowness in all areas: FTP,
Telnet, Web Sites and more. If the CPU usage gets too far out
of hand, all sites hosted on the machine will return Errors
and become inaccessible.
All accounts that are found to be using excessive amounts of
system resources will receive an email warning from
AmericaHosts Web Hosting.
This warning will inform you that there is too much CGI
processes running and it will provide options for reducing the
usage or upgrading your Service. If you do not reduce the
usage within 24 hours of the email being sent, your CGI
scripts will be disabled and you may be billed for time spent
on corrective action.
