CGI And PHP Abuse |
| |
|
Although
Lounge Network permits the use of CGI and PHP on most virtual
accounts, we must limit
the amount of CPU used on any individual account on a shared server.
Since the servers are shared by many accounts we can not let a few
customers utilise all of the resources on that server which leads
to others suffering from lack of resources. When CPU is used greatly
and excessively by a few customers it leads to slowness of FTP, sites
and much more which may result in errors and failure in accessing
the sites on that server. Accounts found in violation of this term
will be warned once. The email warning will notify you that too much
CGI and/or PHP is running and suggest ways to reduce the usage or
upgrade. We reserve the right to DISABLE your CGI/PHP Script if we
consider the usage to be excessive or it is not reduced within 24
hours of the email being sent to you. Excessive amount (Lounge Network
is the sole determinant of what constitutes
degraded server
performance) refers to any amount that leads to extensive and considerable
degradation and deprivation of server performance.
Here is an official list of banned scripts and script categories.
UltimateBBS (all versions)
