limited to 3 gigs per month of free traffic:
- Sub hosting - any domain housing additional users
- Shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia archives
- Mirror sites

CGI Scripts
Each account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are
free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable
any CGI script that effects normal server operation.
Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat
rooms. These tend to be large resource hogs and we cannot allow it as an account
option. We do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge
that run without hindering the performance of the machine for others.
Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the
background. These are considered on a one to one basis and an extra charge
will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance
needed.
IRC
We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be
operated on our servers.
