Disk space and bandwidth information on your Subscribed plan

There are no fixed limits on the disk space or bandwidth that we provide in our unlimited shared and reseller hosting plans. We want to ensure that you have the resources you need to build your website and/or server. However, we do require every client to entirely comply with our Terms of Service and utilize disk space and bandwidth optimally as of a personal or small business website. While it is infrequent, we may require to put restrictions on accounts that are using resources that impact other clients on the same server.

Normally, clients face problems if they use their accounts for storage or file sharing, which is not what our services are intended to support. In accordance with our Terms of Services the disk space and bandwidth you use must be incorporated into the standard process of your website.

For instance, clients who are affecting other clients or are using 20% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds would be considered as an act of violation. In case such a violation is observed, CloudGrid has the right to suspend your service/account, temporarily or permanently after sending you a warning message via email on your registered email ID. Also no refund will be applicable to the client in case if such a scenario is observed.
