3.6 Use of Shared Resources

Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd operates a shared hosting environment, which means that there are multiple customers hosted on any given server. In light of this:

• Maximum Daily SMTP Emails: We do not allow clients to send more than 1000 e-mails per Hour from a shared hosting account. If you need to send more than 1000 e-mails per hour, open a support ticket at https://www.cloudops.in. We reserve the right to uphold this limit even if you request that it be increased.
• Website Development: You agree to design your websites in such a manner as to avoid overloading our servers by consuming inordinately large amounts of resources such as processor time, system memory, and network bandwidth.
• Excessive CPU Usage on a shared hosting environment: You acknowledge and agree that you are paying for a host plan on a shared hosting environment. You agree that you are not paying for a dedicated managed server and that you will not try to use your shared host plan as a dedicated server. Our host plans offer a generous amount of bandwidth and resources and 95% of our customers will never reach their host plan resource limits unless they are offering shareware, video, large sound files, image and multimedia archives, or are mirror sites or any site whose primary purpose is file distribution. We strongly discouraged you from storing any files that cause excessive traffic on the servers and we strongly discourage customers from treating our network as if the server is their own dedicated server.
• Disk Space: You agree to not use your shared hosting account as a backup storage server and that the files you upload are there because it is required by your website or services.
  
  Shared server hosting accounts are limited in use of the amount of server resources. Shared server resource abuse includes any process or service usage that affects normal shared server operation, resources or connectivity, and which causes a server to become overloaded. Shared server resources include CPU and memory usage, number of concurrent processes, number of concurrent port or database connections and total bandwidth.
  
  You agree to not use excessive amounts of CPU, or memory on the server that your host plan resides. You also agree not to use our servers or network as a production server as if it were a dedicated server for just your account. Should your use of your web host account result in an overly high load on any of the network's equipment, in Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd's sole discretion, Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd may suspend your account until the cause of any such overload is determined and resolved. You agree that Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd will have no liability to you or any of your end users due to any corrective action that Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd may take and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to the corrective action. Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. Note that Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd is not responsible for validating or testing your code nor do we provide HTML or software coding assistance.
  
  NOTE: Possible causes of server resource abuse include, but are not limited to, the use of: CGI, Perl, Sendmail, mySQL, MSSQL, PHP, ASP, HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP. If server resource abuse is detected, possible actions include, but are not limited to: disabling of the offending script or scripts, disabling of the specific service, disabling of the entire account or account cancellation. If server overload is a result of server resource abuse, these actions will be taken after consultation with the client in question.

3.21 Information Technology Act, 2000 and on-line copyright issues:

The following provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 are relevant to understand the relationship between copyright protection and information technology:

1. Section 1(2) read with Section 75 of the Act provides for extra-territorial application of the provisions of the Act. Thus, if a person (including a foreign national) violates the copyright of a person by means of computer, computer system or computer network located in India, he would be liable under the provisions of the Act.
2. If any person without permission of the owner or any other person who is in charge of a computer, computer system or computer network accesses or secures access to such computer, computer system or computer network or downloads, copies or extracts any data, computer data base or information from such computer, computer system or computer network including information or data held or stored in any removable storage medium, he shall be liable to pay damages by way of compensation not exceeding one crore rupees to the person so affected. Thus, a person violating the copyright of another by downloading or copying the same will have to pay exemplary damages up to the tune of rupees one crore which is deterrent enough to prevent copyright violation.
3. While adjudging the quantum of compensation, the adjudicating officer shall have to consider the following factors:
   (i) The amount of gain or unfair advantage, wherever quantifiable, made as the result of the default;
   (ii) The amount of loss caused to any person as a result of the default;
   (iii) The repetitive nature of the default.
   Thus, if the copyright is violated intentionally and for earning profit, the quantum of damages will be more as compared to innocent infringement.
4. Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd will not be liable under this Act, rules or regulations made there under for any third party information or data made available by him if he proves that the offence or contravention was committed without his knowledge or that he had exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence or contravention. Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd under section 79 means an intermediary and third party information means any information dealt with by a network service provider in his capacity as an intermediary.
5. The provisions of this Act shall have overriding effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law for the time being in force

3.22 Resellers Server Resource Useage

A reseller account is for reselling SHARED hosting accounts only. It is not a means to gain extra resource at a lower cost for a single account. As such, resellers are not permitted to abuse a reseller account by using 100% of your total resource on one account. Do not misunderstand this policy; you are permitted to use up to 100% of your account's total resource limits. It is just that you must have multiple resold accounts in a way that the accounts get distributed across our clustered server environment appropriately.
Resellers of Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd hosting are required to spread their accounts across multiple servers. This is to help balance the load across ourcluster of servers. This is in fact, the reason for having a clustered server environment. It is also what our pricing model is based upon. Selecting many multiple unix or windows plans is fine as our servers will determine what server to place the account on. The problem is when a reseller places too many domains on one server by creating a multiple domain plan with too high a number of domains allowed. When this occurs ALL those domains will reside on the same server and not be spread around our clustered servers. For this reason a reseller is not permitted to use more than 60% of their total resource level for one customer account. If you have a customer that requires to have an account with more than 60% of their total resource level it is recommended that you contact Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd for options we may have to attend to your customer’s requirements in a way that will not affect our shared hosting environment in a negative way.

• Excessive CPU Useage: You acknowledge and agree that you are paying for a host plan on a shared hosting environment. You agree that you are not paying for a dedicated managed server and that you will not try to use your shared host plan as a dedicated server. Our host plans offer a generous amount of bandwidth and resources and 95% of our customers will never reach their host plan resource limits unless they are offering shareware, video, large sound files, image and multimedia archives, or are mirror sites or any site whose primary purpose is file distribution. We strongly discouraged you from storing any files that cause excessive traffic on the servers and we strongly discourage customers from treating our network as if the server is their own dedicated server.
  
  Shared server hosting accounts are limited in use of the amount of server resources. Shared server resource abuse includes any process or service usage that affects normal shared server operation, resources or connectivity, and which causes a server to become overloaded. Shared server resources include CPU and memory usage, number of concurrent processes, number of concurrent port or database connections and total bandwidth.
  
  You agree to not use excessive amounts of CPU, or memory on the server that your host plan resides. You also agree not to use our servers or network as a production server as if it were a dedicated server for just your account. Should your use of your web host account result in an overly high load on any of the network's equipment, in Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd's sole discretion, Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd may suspend your account until the cause of any such overload is determined and resolved. You agree that Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd will have no liability to you or any of your end users due to any corrective action that Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd may take and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to the corrective action. Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. Note that Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd is not responsible for validating or testing your code nor do we provide HTML or software coding assistance.

If server resource abuse is detected, possible actions include, but are not limited to: disabling of the offending script or scripts, disabling of the specific service, disabling of the entire account or account cancellation.

3.21 Information Technology Act, 2000 and on-line copyright issues:

The following provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 are relevant to understand the relationship between copyright protection and information technology:

(a) Section 1(2) read with Section 75 of the Act provides for extra-territorial application of the provisions of the Act. Thus, if a person (including a foreign national) violates the copyright of a person by means of computer, computer system or computer network located in India, he would be liable under the provisions of the Act.

(b) If any person without permission of the owner or any other person who is in charge of a computer, computer system or computer network accesses or secures access to such computer, computer system or computer network or downloads, copies or extracts any data, computer data base or information from such computer, computer system or computer network including information or data held or stored in any removable storage medium, he shall be liable to pay damages by way of compensation not exceeding one crore rupees to the person so affected. Thus, a person violating the copyright of another by downloading or copying the same will have to pay exemplary damages up to the tune of rupees one crore which is deterrent enough to prevent copyright violation.
(c) While adjudging the quantum of compensation, the adjudicating officer shall have to consider the following factors:

(i) The amount of gain or unfair advantage, wherever quantifiable, made as the result of the default;
(ii) The amount of loss caused to any person as a result of the default;
(iii) The repetitive nature of the default.
Thus, if the copyright is violated intentionally and for earning profit, the quantum of damages will be more as compared to innocent infringement.

(d) Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd will not be liable under this Act, rules or regulations made there under for any third party information or data made available by him if he proves that the offence or contravention was committed without his knowledge or that he had exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence or contravention. Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd under section 79 means an intermediary and third party information means any information dealt with by a network service provider in his capacity as an intermediary.

(e) The provisions of this Act shall have overriding effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law for the time being in force

3.22 Resellers Server Resource Usage

A reseller account is for reselling SHARED hosting accounts only. It is not a means to gain extra resource at a lower cost for a single account. As such, resellers are not permitted to abuse a reseller account by using 100% of your total resource on one account. Do not misunderstand this policy; you are permitted to use up to 100% of your account's total resource limits. It is just that you must have multiple resold accounts in a way that the accounts get distributed across our clustered server environment appropriately.
Resellers of Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd hosting are required to spread their accounts across multiple servers. This is to help balance the load across ourcluster of servers. This is in fact, the reason for having a clustered server environment. It is also what our pricing model is based upon. Selecting many multiple unix or windows plans is fine as our servers will determine what server to place the account on. The problem is when a reseller places too many domains on one server by creating a multiple domain plan with too high a number of domains allowed. When this occurs ALL those domains will reside on the same server and not be spread around our clustered servers. For this reason a reseller is not permitted to use more than 60% of their total resource level for one customer account. If you have a customer that requires to have an account with more than 60% of their total resource level it is recommended that you contact Cloud Operation Pvt. Ltd for options we may have to attend to your customer’s requirements in a way that will not affect our shared hosting environment in a negative way.

Dedicated IP Policy

IPs are in short supply and IRINN (Indian Registry for Internet Names and Numbers) has been pushing hosting companies to conserve IP space and promote name-based hosting. IRINN no longer accepts virtual accounts as sufficient justification for an IP assignment. We have therefore been forced to make it necessary that any dedicated IP assignments to domains must only be made if it is absolutely required. IP assignments are thus only allowed if they are to be used for any of the following:

1) SSL/Shared SSL
2) 3rd Party DNS
3) Anonymous FTP
4) Virtual FTP (A Unix Service)
