Terms of Use – Hosting

The eznow.com Web-Hosting Service ("Service"), is provided to you ("you" or "Site Owner") under the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use and any amendments thereto and any operating rules or policies (collectively “Terms of Use” or “Agreement”). The eznow.com Web Hosting Service Provider ("the Service Provider") shall have the right to change, modify, add or remove all or part of the Terms of Use at any time.

If any information provided by Site Owner is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, the Service Provider has the right to terminate Site Owner’s account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service.

2.By completing the account registration process and clicking the “I AGREE” link, you agree to be bound by the Terms of Use. Nothing in the Terms of Use obligates the Service Provider to list, link to, accept or otherwise host any site anywhere on the services internet servers. If the Terms of Use or any future changes are unacceptable to you, you may cancel your account pursuant to Section 8.1 regarding termination of service.

3.The provider of eznow.com Web Hosting Service hosts interactive websites ("Site") on the World Wide Web and provides Site Owner with access to its Web Web Hosting Software ("Software") to facilitate the creation and maintenance of Site for the sale of goods and display of information.

4. UNLIMITED USAGE POLICIES AND DEFINITIONS

What "Unlimited" means. Eznow does not set an arbitrary limit or cap on the amount of resources a single Subscriber can use. In good faith and subject to these Terms, Eznow makes every commercially reasonable effort to provide its Subscribers with all the storage and bandwidth resources needed to power their web sites successfully, as long as the Subscriber's use of the service complies with these Terms. By not setting limits on key resources, we are able to provide simple, consistent pricing to our Subscribers as they grow their websites. As a result, a typical website may experience periods of great popularity and resulting increased storage without experiencing any associated increase in hosting charges.

What "Unlimited" DOES NOT mean. Eznow employs complex mechanisms to protect its Subscribers and systems from abuse. Eznow’s offering of "unlimited" services is not intended to allow the actions of a single or few Subscribers to unfairly or adversely impact the experience of other Subscribers.

Eznow service is a shared hosting service, which means that multiple Subscriber web sites are hosted from the same server and share server resources. Eznow service is designed to meet the typical needs of small business and home business website Subscribers in Hong Kong. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises, internationally based businesses, or non-typical applications better suited to a dedicated server.

Eznow will make every commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to Subscribers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Terms, including moving Subscribers to newer and bigger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Subscribers, Eznow does place automated safeguards to protect against any one site growing too quickly and adversely impacting the system until Eznow can evaluate said sites resource needs.

Unlimited Disc Space; excessive MySQL files. Eznow does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber's website, nor does Eznow charge additional fees based on an increased amount of storage used, provided the Subscriber's use of storage complies with these Terms. Please note, however, that the Eznow service is designed to host websites. Eznow does NOT provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, etc., and any such prohibited use of the Services will result in the termination of Subscriber's account, with or without notice. Accounts with a large number of files (i.e., inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse affect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables (i.e., in excess of 1000 database tables) or of database size (i.e., in excess of 1GB total MySQL/PostgreSQL usage or 1GB MySQL/PostgreSQL usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server. Eznow may request that the number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance or may terminate the Subscriber's account, with or without notice.

Unlimited monthly bandwidth. Eznow does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of visitor traffic a web site can receive or on the amount of content a Subscriber can upload to his/her/its website in a given month, nor does Eznow charge additional fees based on increased use of bandwidth, as long as the Subscriber's use of the Services complies with these Terms. In most cases, a Subscriber's web site will be able to support as much traffic as the Subscriber can legitimately acquire. However, Eznow reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Subscribers.

We limit all of our hosting accounts and single FTP account to no more than 40,000 files and folders (for Linux hosting), that is the number of files and not their size, it also applies to our hosting accounts with unlimited storage.
