I just received this friendly reminder from my hosting company, AIT.
AIT Writes:
"As with all businesses we have to manage available resources and the customers paying for the usage of them. Your account is consuming extraordinarily large amounts of these, and we're suggesting you upgrade to an IMHIP Enterprise account. This will give you a machine of your own and you won't be affected, nor affect, customers in the shared environment.
We have systems in place that monitor usage and abuses of the servers that may shut down one or all of the services on your account if you exceed reasonable limits. Reasonable limits are defined as shared cpu, ram, disk space, or bandwidth usage that exceeds normal daily amounts by a shared account or amounts that slow or bring down a shared server."
My response:
So, is AIT unable to provide the service I'm now paying for? I'm paying for 3GB of storage and 80GB of data transfer a month. According to my statistics, if I continue to 'excessively' use this service, I will be 20GB UNDER my monthly limit.
I understand your concern, but please don't blame the customer for using a service AIT offers, but ultimately can't provide.
Thank you,
GJ
