Due to the unique resource characteristics and traffic patterns associated with certain types of sites, the following are limited to 5 gigs (or 1 GB in the case of silver packages) of free traffic/bandwidth per month:

• Sub hosting - any domain housing additional users
• Shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia archives
• Mirror sites
• Distribution points
• Any site whose primary purpose is file distribution
• All sites with files other than plain text webpages
• Sites that go over the allowed free traffic will be charged $10 per gig. Sites must pre-pay this fee, and site is subject to suspension if bandwidth is unpaid for.

Background Running Programs

As a general rule we do not allow 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.

CGI Scripts:
Each e-campus AUSTRALIA account comes fully equipped with its own pre-configured CGI-Bin. Customers are free to use any CGI-scripts provided with their account or add any additional ones they require. Any CGI-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting the server performance or the network integrity may be shut down without prior notice. CGI-script sharing with domains not hosted by e-campus AUSTRALIA is not allowed.

Server Resources:
Any web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) can be suspended without notice, and then may be given an option of either upgrading their service level or reducing the resource used to an acceptable level.
