Bandwidth
Usage Policy
While
purchasing a hosting account with Dinsol, you are
allotted a portion of bandwidth per month. You can use
this bandwidth for anything you want besides things
not permitted as outline in the Terms
& AUP. If you go over your allotted amount of
bandwidth in a given month, your account may be
suspended by Server Monitoring Softwares
automatically, and you will be expected to pay for the
additional bandwidth.
We
provides a bandwidth estimate figure in your control
panel. This is an estimate and is provided from the
server level. Actual account bandwidth usage is
measured for billing purposes at the port level. This
policy exists because many users offer files for
download via FTP which is not otherwise measured by
the server directly at this time. Please note that
because the bandwidth is monitored at the port, any
and all traffic for your Web Site is tracked
including, but not limited to: FTP uploads and
downloads, mail sending and retrieval, normal Web
traffic, etc. Everything that is pushed from our
server to a third-party's machine is considered
bandwidth and will be measured.
We
have designed this policy because many users find that
hosts offer "unlimited" bandwidth only to
find out that it has a very real bandwidth limit.
Further, they place restrictions on what you can use
the bandwidth for (i.e. no image galleries because
they are a large source of bandwidth consumption). We
tell you up-front how much bandwidth you are allocated
each month and you have the full amount to use.
If
you are unsure of your bandwidth usage prior to moving
your site to Dinsol, contact
us. We would be happy to review your current site
statistics with you to help you choose the right
package.
