Fair Usage Policy


"Dinsol India" allows CGI, PHP, Perl & other scripting languages and databases to be used on all Servers. Scripts and databases can be resource intensive however, and because a Server must be shared with other users, we must limit how much of the CPU can be used by any one account on a shared server. There are several reasons why Dinsol India has created its Fair Usages policy for it's hosting customers.


What does Dinsol India consider "Unfair Usage"?

Any site whose CGI/Perl/PHP/other scripting programs and databases are using excessive amounts of system resources. Excessive amounts is defined as any amount that results in substantial degradation of server performance. Dinsol India is the sole determinant of what constitutes degraded server performance.

Due to their use of flat files instead of databases, Dinsol India does not allow the use of UBB or YABB bulletin boards. Use of these boards for large or very active forums, results in system performance degradation, and cannot be allowed in our shared server environment. Dinsol India suggests using VBulletin or phpBB as a more efficient, database-driven alternative to these bulletin boards.

Why does Dinsol India have this policy?

Server Speed and Fairness to others
A Server is shared. As such, there are many accounts per machine. In all fairness, Dinsol India cannot allow one or two clients to use all of the System resources on a shared machine and have all other clients on the machine suffer because of it. Excessive CPU usage by one or more clients causes extreme slowness in all areas: FTP, Email, Web Sites and more. If the CPU usage gets too far out of hand, all sites hosted and their dependent services, on the machine will return errors and may not be accessible in any way.

What happens if I violate this policy?

All accounts that are found to using excessive amounts of system resources will receive an email warning from Dinsol India. This warning will inform you that there is too much server resources are being consumed by the specified account and it may provide options for reducing the usage or your site to virtual or dedicated server of your own. If you do not reduce the usage within 24 hours of the email being sent, your site will be suspended. We can also disable any site without any email notice, if the usages are very high and their is no option left for notice period.
