Limits in use
Fair Usage Policy of MVee Media Hosting: MVee Media offers cloud hosting plans bundled with limited and unlimited resources like disk space and/or other resources, such as data transfer, databases etc. The use of the Service is governed by a Fair Usage Policy, stated below, which covers the fair use of bandwidth and other resources where there is an indication of “unmetered/unlimited” data transfer or storage capacity, in order to prevent Service abuse and allowing the Company to fully optimize network capacity, as well as maintain the quality of the Services.
If a website is identified to consume too many resources, we will try to contact the User (owner) to discuss possible solutions. Until such solutions shall be implemented, the use of the Service can be limited at the discretion of the Company.
Disk space is intended for use in accordance with MVee Media’s Fair Use Policy and limited to web files, active email and User Website content only. Shared hosting space may not be used for storage, including without limitation, of media, emails, as offsite storage of electronic files, or FTP hosts. Mvee Media expressly reserves the right to review every shared account for excessive usage of CPU, disk space and other resources that may be caused by a violation of this Agreement or the Fair Use Policy. MVee Media may, in its sole discretion, terminate access to the Services, apply additional fees, or remove or delete User Content for those accounts that are found to be in violation of MVee Media’s T&C.

In the event that you exceed these amounts, MVee Media may request that you reduce the number of files/inodes, database tables, or total databases to ensure optimal server performance. MVee Media reserves the right to terminate your account, with or without notice, for excessive use of resources that result in a degradation of server performance or the Services.
