Fair Usage Policy

We're doing our best to keep the prices as low as possible. Therefore we need to make sure we prevent overuse that could lead to slower and worse service for regular users.

Overuse can be intentional or unintentional and can include CPU usage, disk usage or any other server resource. We classify it as anything that takes 50% more resources than average in our system.

To avoid having your blog flagged you should not:

• host big files, including but not limited to video and image files,
• mass post posts, pages or comments to your blog,
• use blogs for file sharing,
• use complex and resource-intensive plugins or themes,
• do anything else that would increase server load.

Less than 1% of blogs in our system ever get flagged.

Hard Blog Limits

If your blog exceeds any of the below hard limits, it will get flagged in our system.

• Blog size: 750MB
• Requests: 10k/day (non-cached)
• Plugins: 25
• Comments: 2000 total (1000 approved, 1000 unapproved)
• Posts/Pages/Custom Post type: 10,000
• Scheduled CRON jobs: 20

Response Steps

1. Monitoring

Your blog pops up on our radar when any of the hard limits are exceeded. In this case, your blog is put under close monitoring if behavior aggravates.

2. Optimization

If blog continues to be problematic, we implement different levels of content caching to the blog. You will be notified of the action in this step.

3. Disabling Blog

If none of our actions helped lower the burden on the server, we are forced to disable the blog to protect other blogs on the server.

If you would like to keep the blog online, we recommend you move it to a different hosting provider.
