software (database programs, cgi scripts, etc.) providing the following
conditions are met: 1) Any software installed must not require root
access to install, start, or run. 2) Any software must not disrupt
other subscribers use and enjoyment of the server. This might happen
if a) scripts use too much memory b) scripts use too many CPU processes
c) scripts interfere with users mail. Subscribers are welcome to

of allowed disk space. We do NOT put hard limits on Subscribers
servers (i.e. if a Subscriber reaches his/her limit, the server
would not allow anymore files to be created). Hard limits can cause
some programs to malfunction and possibly damage the Subscribers
data. Instead, we monitor the server space daily and notify via
e-mail any Subscriber who is over his/her allowed limit. We adjust
the monthly service charge accordingly based on the additional space
used. If the extra space used is not intentional (large email, runaway
script, etc.), the Subscriber must notify delete the additional
files and notify us of the error within 24 hours of the email notification
to avoid the additional space charges. Please note that log files
are included in customers allowed total data and if a site is busy,
these log files can use up dozens of megabytes. Choose your option
that allows for the appropriate amount of data with this in mind.

is exchanged between the server and the requesting terminal. We
allow each web site up to a maximum of 1024 megabytes of data per
day before the virtual server must be moved off our network. This
data includes Web server traffic, FTP traffic, SMTP/POP traffic,
Real Media traffic and any other traffic-generating program. The
Vesigo Studios, Inc. stats only report on Web, FTP and POP generated
traffic. Bandwidth is only sold in 25GB increments and is not prorated
in any manner. Vesigo Studios, Inc. reserves the right to disable
a virtual server if the data transfer is in excess of their limit.
A web site cannot be split among multiple virtual servers to allow
for more data transfer.
