10. Excessive Resource Policy (CPU/Memory/Archiving/Backup)
Resources are defined as disk space, bandwidth, and/or computing resources (cpu, memory, disk i/o, # of files/inodes) utilization. Dynamic Experts offers a shared hosting service in which environment customers may share resources with other customers, therefore it is imperative that Dynamic Experts control any excessive usage and data archiving (excessive file/mail storage) by customers so that they do not disrupt the service quality of other customers using the same resources. You may not use your hosting account as a backup solution or to host archived mail. Archived mail is defined as messages older than thirty (30) days or emails totaling ten (10) gigabytes or larger. Our Services are designed to host active website data only and may not be used as a data repository. A hosting account is also considered using “Excessive amounts of resources” when it consumes 100% of the allocated resources on the subscribed hosting plan and/or subscribed scalable resource add-on(s) and/or 75,000 files also known as “Computing Resources”, and/or “Resources”, and/or “Resource Usage”. There are numerous issues that could cause such problems, including but not limited to: cgi scripts, FTP, HTTP, etc. To prevent service disruption for other customers, a hosting account which exceeds the included computing resources will be slowed down automatically for as long as the resources are being overused. Dynamic Experts will make every reasonable effort to notify customer prior to suspension, however, Dynamic Experts may suspend any offending hosting account prior to notifying the customer of the account in the event that service disruption to other customers was/is caused. The customer whom is using “excessive resources” may be asked to upgrade his/her package to a more suitable hosting package, such as but not limited to a premium account, virtual private server or dedicated server. Dynamic Experts will be the sole and final arbitrator as to what constitutes as a violation of this policy.
Client agrees to take all responsibility for all programs including CGI scripts executed under their account. Programs that consume an excessive amount of CPU run time or Random Access Memory (RAM) are not permitted. Client agrees and understands that such excessive use can have an adverse effect on the performance of the webserver. Client agrees to accept responsibility for programs executed under his/her account, regardless of who authored the program. The use of cgi or php chat scripts or pages is strictly prohibited. Dynamic Experts provides an acceptable chat programs for clients with Unix Standard + accounts at no charge. Dynamic Experts reserves the right to suspend accounts without notice to clients who violate these terms. Dynamic Experts has sole discretion over what constitutes excessive usage.
This is the customer’s responsibility to take regular backups to avoid any inconvenience. Our datacenter conducts weekly disaster recovery backup of the server and charge an amount for the restoration of any cpanel backup if available. Furthermore, datacenter does not take backup of those accounts which are consuming more than 20GB.

If the requirements of a project change after starting the project, the budget will be reconsidered.
