Resource Usage Policy (Applicable For Shared Hosting)

Processes

Processes invoked by the web server, cron, shell or any other method should not exceed the following limitations:

  • Consume more than 40 MB of RAM.
  • Utilize in excess of 15 seconds of CPU time.
  • Number of open files should not exceed 64.
  • Create core dumps.
  • Number of simultaneous processes should not exceed 5.
  • Execute a script/binary that forks in a way to create a fork bomb.
  • Programs may not run in the background or listen on a network port. If you require a bot, service or daemon, you should consider a dedicated server, as very few shared web hosts allow this type of program..

Database Restrictions

  • All users are restricted to 15 concurrent MySQL/MSSQL connections.
  • Database queries should not exceed 3,000 per hour.
  • Database changes (insert/update/delete) should not exceed 1,000 queries per hour.
  • Database servers should not be used as a hosted solution. Database access should only be used for the website hosted by NatSav.
  • Remote database access is for administrative purposes only.

Files and Directories

The total number of inodes in an account may not exceed 75,000. Every file (a webpage, image, email, PHP file, directory, etc.) on your account uses up one (1) inode. This is not something we actively enforce and it will only become an issue if a client is causing problems for other people on the server. We will of course notify you if this is the case with a full explanation.

A directory cannot contain more than 2,500 immediate child files. This includes subdirectories themselves, but does not include files contained within those directories.

Web

Simultaneous IIS/Apache connections may not exceed 50 from one individual source at any given time. Web processes should not fork or spawn sub processes.

Email and Mailing Lists

Files in excess of 10 MB should not be sent via email. Processes should not send outbound mail to more than 25 recipients at any given time - 25 Emails/5min. POP connections are limited to 60 per hour. SMTP connections (outbound email connections) are limited to 500 per hour per server account. Mailing lists larger than 1,500 will require a semi dedicated, VPS, or dedicated server from us. Dividing one list into smaller parts to get around this limit is not allowed. Any mailing list over 900 emails is only allowed in off peak times such as Saturday and Sunday or from 1am to 8am ET during the week. Any mailing list must be throttled so that it sends an email every 6 seconds at the very minimum. If the mailing list software you are using doesn't support throttling you must use something else. We do this as this keeps the server load from going very high and causing problems for other users. If you don't do this you will be suspended. We do not allow you to send to a mailing list you were given or that you bought. This is spamming and we have zero tolerance for this. No Direct SMTP mailing system scripts are permitted. Mail should be relayed through the local MTA.

Cron Jobs

All cron jobs must be 'niced' to 15 or greater (see the Unixmanpage for "nice" for more information). A cron job should not execute more frequently than once every 15 minutes.

Defining Unlimited

NatSav is although having plenty of available system resources but to avoid too much consumption of resources by any single user, NatSav has placed limits on the amount of a server's resources that any given user may consume and the same shall be applicable to you as well. While these are limits, server abuse is not limited to these policies and is up to NatSav's discretion to what constitutes server abuse.

On certain web hosting plans, NatSav does not place limits on the amount of particular resources a single client may use. NatSav makes every reasonable effort to provide clients with the disk space and bandwidth resources needed for their websites within the limitations of these Terms of Service. NatSav monitors all servers via automated and non-automated methods to help ensure no single client adversely impacts other clients located on the same server.Please note that shared hosting plans are for website hosting, and the storage of backups, file repositories, MP3s, videos, photo archives, and similar is strictly prohibited. Violators of this policy may have their accounts terminated without refund.

In similar manner maximum 4% CPU resources can be consume in case of shared hosting and NatSav shall allow only 500 MB mail box size , 5 GB as total mail box size per domain. It is further clarified that in case of shared hosting, maximum 250 mails can be sent per domain with total recipients 25 while mailing 25 mails per hour

Server Log

No server logs can be provided for the shared hosting account.

Backups

NatSav's servers are not allowed be used as a backup/storage system and only one cPanel/SiteAdmin backup for that same account is allowed.

Reselling

Reselling is not allowed on Shared hosting plans. If reselling is desired, a reseller plan must be purchased. All the domains for a particular shared hosting account need to have single ownership. NatSav holds the full right to suspend/terminate the shared hosting accounts that have domains with multiple ownerships.

Adult Content

Pornography is strictly prohibited. Nudity, adult-oriented e-commerce stores, and similar are allowed if the content is legal in the India. NatSav.com will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.
