Unlimited Traffic/Hits & Server Resource Usage:
BKC Technology, LLC is pleased to offer our clients unlimited traffic/hits,
and server usage. Unlimited Traffic/Hits refers to the number of
visitors to your website, NOT the amount of bandwidth/data transfer.
Your account is still limited to the allotted bandwidth/data transfer
included with your selected package. To maintain the integrity of
our service the following traffic/usage limitations apply.
• Sites with banners, graphics or cgi's running from their
domain being used on other domains.
• Sites with immense graphic archives or galleries.
• Sites offering immense download archives, such as .zip,
.tar, .ra and .GZ.
• Sites running large chat room gatherings.
• Sites using more than 20% of system resources
If you do not qualify for unlimited traffic/hits, your account
may be required to be upgraded, or, BKC Technology, LLC may move
your site to a different server, to reduce the load on the server
you are currently residing. BKC Technology, LLC will be the sole
arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of usage limitations.
Bandwidth/data transfer will go unmonitored until you reach your
account limit, then normal over-usage data transfer costs will apply.
At any time BKC Technology, LLC may move your site to a different
server, to reduce the load on the server you are currently residing.
Chat Rooms:
BKC Technology, LLC does allow clients to install their own chat
rooms. However, these tend to be large system hogs and may fall
into the usage limitations clause. We do provide an html based cgi
chat room that runs without hindering the performance of the machine
for others. You are free to run your own chat script, as long as
it does not hinder server performance.
Background Processes/Programs
BKC Technology, LLC may allow programs to run continually in the
background, these are considered on a one to one basis and an extra
charge may be incurred based on system resources used and operational
maintenance needed.
Cron Jobs:
BKC Technology™ does allow Cron Jobs to be conducted on our
servers.
IRC:
BKC Technology™ currently does not allow IRC or IRC bots to
be operated on our servers.
Multiple Connections:
Multiple telnet and ftp sessions are allowed, on a single hosting
account.
Idle Timeouts:
BKC Technology, LLC may disconnect any idle connection to the network.
Average timeouts are:
FTP - 300 seconds
Telnet - 2 hours
Commercial Advertising - Email:
Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a BKC Technology,
LLC server or using an email address that is maintained on a BKC
Technology, LLC machine is STRICTLY prohibited. For general reference,
we consider spam any email that is sent to more than 10 people at
a time that did not ask for it to be sent to them.
BKC Technology, LLC will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes
a violation of this provision. Opt-In email is acceptable, as long
as Opt-Out/Removal request are fully honored. Please make an effort
to limit outgoing mail on your account to no more than 5000 pieces
per DAY and no more than 20 pieces per minute. Many times we have
seen sites push over 1000 emails in one hit, this causes extreme
server loads and prevents other people from accessing server services.
Large mailings are preferred to be sent from the hours of 12AM -
8AM EST. Sites with large mailing databases, need to be placed on
dedicated server or VPS platform.
Server Abuse:
Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a BKC Technology, LLC
server or customer of BKC Technology, LLC is strictly prohibited.
BKC Technology, LLC will pursue legal action to the fullest extent
for all abuse of the BKC Technology, LLC Network.

If any terms or conditions are failed to be followed it will result
in grounds for account suspension or de-activation. BKC Technology,
LLC reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice.
If BKC Technology, LLC deactivates your account(s) for violating
policy, your will forfeit your rights to a refund...and none will
be given. No refunds for advance payments, on de-activated accounts.
Normal policy is a warning first, and account de-activation the
second offense. Serious offenses may cause immediate de-activation.
