Acceptable Usage Policy
Unlimited Policy:
What do you mean by “Unlimited”?
What we mean is, you don’t have to worry about disk storage or network transfer when your site gets popular.
You DO still have to worry about plenty of other things though… if your site isn’t well optimized and is causing issues for others on your shared server (either because it’s pounding the CPU, hogging RAM, or doing tons of disk I/O), you may be asked to sign up for your own Viewen Server.
Trust us, every host out there has exactly the same limitations… we’re just trying to be upfront about them!
- What about databases?
You’re certainly allowed an unlimited number of MySQL databases, but in the interest of server stability, we request that you try to keep them optimized and no larger than a few GB in size.
- …and Unlimited email?
The Unlimited Policy doesn’t apply to email. Any new email addresses will have a 5 – 15 GB limit, and we’ll be enforcing these limits on all accounts if it gets out of hand!
What’s not allowed in “Unlimited”?
Basically, sites whose essential purpose is to use disk or bandwidth. When making a website, you should be thinking about “How can I make an interesting site for my visitors while minimizing my disk storage, bandwidth, file system, memory, and CPU impact as much as possible?”
The result will be a better experience for your visitors, your web host, and yourself!
Here are some specific examples of things not allowed:
*Copyrighted content to which you do not hold usage or distribution rights.
*File upload / sharing / archive / backup / mirroring / distribution sites.
*A site created primarily to drive traffic to another site.
*Making your account resources available (whether for free or pay) to the general public.
Viewen reserves the right to delete data stored on our servers that violates any of the terms in the Unlimited Policy, and, generally, in our Terms of Service. Viewen has sole discretion to determine what does and does not violate either policy.
Hey, that doesn’t sound very “Unlimited” to me!
Actually, for you, my dear Legitimate Website Owner, it is unlimited.
This whole page is just to announce to the <.1% of people who want to try and run free porn affiliate sites or anime video trading forums or host pirated rips of The Dark Knight on Viewen that we’re not having any.
But our pledge to you is to do our best to always keep your website, with the content you created, UP… no matter how many times you get Slashdotted or Reddited.
