Common sense is the best guide as to what is considered acceptable use, however the following are unacceptable uses.

Chat/IRC, web proxy and mailing list scripts are not allowed on our servers without prior written agreement from WiserHosting.com. Streaming media can be a drain on web server resources and as such is not allowed.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION POLICY

Web Site Data
Any files and data uploaded to a WiserHosting.com hosting account must be directly relevant to, and used by the hosted website. Such files and data may not be directly linked to by external websites for the purpose of being downloaded, and must only be available for download or other use via the website present on the hosting account.

Resources
Resources are defined as data bandwidth and/or processor utilization on our servers. WiserHosting.com maintains a high ratio of resources per customer to allow for the efficient functioning of hosted websites. On rare occasions WiserHosting.com may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that server performance and resources for other customers may be jeopardized.

WiserHosting.com reserves the right to suspend any customer's website and hosting account for any reason, including:

a) if a website is found to be monopolizing resources

b) if a hosting account has been used inappropriately

This policy is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers and to protect the efficiency and integrity of our hosting service.
