Unlimited Policy
What we mean is,you don’t have to worry about disk storage or network transfer when your site gets popular.
What do you mean by “Unlimited”? [v2 04/2017]
We mean that you don't need to stress about disk space or bandwidth when your website gains popularity.
You DO still need to worry about a lot of other things though… if your site isn’t well optimized and is causing issues for others on your shared server (either because it’s heavily using the CPU, consuming too much RAM, or doing excessive disk I/O), you might be asked to upgrade to your own Private Server.
Trust us, every hosting provider has the same constraints… we’re just being transparent about them!
What about VPS?
The Unlimited Policy will no longer be applicable to any accounts or VPS machines set up on or after June 10th, 2017. The specific disk space allowance will be shown on the sign-up page for each VPS plan offered.
It's important to note that the Unlimited Policy still applies to any existing VPS machines set up before June 10th, 2017. For those machines, the unlimited plan will remain in effect, even during renewals. Samra Host reserves the right to adjust pricing with a 15-day notice to customers prior to renewal. The amount of network transfer is unlimited on all VPS services.
What about databases?
You’re certainly allowed an unlimited number of MySQL databases, but for the sake of server stability, we request that you keep them optimized and no larger than a few GB in size.
…and email?
The Unlimited Policy doesn’t apply to email. Any new email addresses will have a 2GB limit, and we’ll enforce these limits on all accounts if they become excessive!
What’s not allowed in “Unlimited”?
Essentially, sites whose primary purpose is to use disk space or bandwidth. When creating a website, consider “How can I make an engaging site for my visitors while minimizing my server storage, bandwidth, file system, memory, and CPU impact as much as possible?”
The result will be a better experience for your visitors, your web host, and yourself!
- Copyrighted content to which you do not hold usage or distribution rights.
- File upload / sharing / archive / backup / mirroring / distribution sites.
- A site created primarily to drive traffic to another site.
- Making your account resources available (whether for free or pay) to the general public.
Samra Host reserves the right to delete data stored on our servers that violates any of the terms in the Unlimited Policy, and generally in our Terms of Service. Samra Host has sole discretion to determine what does and does not violate either policy.
Hey, that doesn’t sound very “Unlimited” to me!
Actually, for you, dear Legitimate Website Owner, it is unlimited.
This whole page is just to inform the <.1% of people who want to run free porn affiliate sites, anime video trading forums, or host pirated rips of The Dark Knight on Samra Host that we’re not having it.
But our promise to you is to do our best to always keep your website, with the content you created, UP… no matter how many times you get Slashdotted or Reddited.
