Quote:Dear Website Administrator,
Your website, lurkerlounge.com, is identified as causing a negative effect on the server
performance. Although we do not monitor bandwidth directly, the log files generated by your site show an
overuse of system resources. We understand that there are spikes in traffic and server use,
however we have a commitment to all of the clients on this shared server to ensure that they do not
experience service interruptions due to one site's server use.
As stated in our Terms of Service, your site is no longer eligible to be hosted as an unmetered
bandwidth plan.
http://www.nexpoint.net/company/policies/tos.cfm
Unmetered Bandwidth - implies that the data transfer is not charged on a metered basis so long as
it remains within reasonable expectations. Nexpoint Technologies, Inc. considers if any web site
jeopardizes the security or system resources of our servers then we must limit their bandwidth as
outlined in this Agreement
Based on your current usage (Bolty: over 40 gigabytes a month - *blush*), you will need to upgrade your
plan to an Enterprise account. The Enterprise account includes 40GB of monthly transfer each month,
and access to up to 10% of the system resources. The billing rate for additional bandwidth used
each month is $4 / GB. You will be allowed an additional 500mb of web space for a total of 1
Gigabyte, and a 100mb MSSQL database.
If you prefer to have full control of your site administration and unlimited use of the server
resources, we also have dedicated servers available. A dedicated server may be well suited for your
needs because the download speed from your site would not be affected by other sites on the
server. You can browse all of our dedicated plans at http://www.nexpoint.net/products/dedicated/
We regret to inform you that the Network Operations Center will be required to limit your site's
server resource use if action is not taken by Friday June 28th 2003. Additionally, they may be
forced to place restrictions on the number and speed of connections to your site in order to
maintain the stability of the server, which may result in errors that are visible to your site's
visitors. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate your cooperation.
Okay, folks. Time for a new host (because this plan costs too much for it's "features" - there's better out there). I'm looking at Globat's Commerce Pro plan longingly, but if anyone can help with my search I'd appreciate it.
