CGI Abuse Policy
Phpwebhosting.biz allows CGI to be used on all Virtual
Servers. CGI can be resource intensive however, and because
a Virtual Server must be shared with other users, we must limit
how much of the CPU can be used by any one account on a shared server.
There are several reasons why phpwebhosting.biz has created its CGI
Abuse policy for its virtual server users.
What does phpwebhosting.biz consider
"CGI ABUSE"?
Any site whose CGI programs are using excessive amounts
of system resources. Excessive amounts is defined as any amount
that results in substantial degradation of server performance. phpwebhosting.biz is the sole determinant of what consititues degraded server
performance.
Due to their use of flat files instead of databases,
phpwebhosting.biz does not allow the use of UBB
or YABB bulletin boards. Use of these boards for large or
very active forums, results in system performance degradation, and
cannot be allowed in our shared server environment. phpwebhosting.biz
suggests using VBulletin or phpBB
as a more efficient, database-driven alternative to these bulletin
boards.
Why does phpwebhosting.biz have this
policy?
Server Speed and Fairness to others
A Virtual Server is shared. As such, there are many accounts
per machine. In all fairness, phpwebhosting.biz cannot allow one or
two clients to use all of the System resources on a shared machine
and have all other clients on the machine suffer because of it.
Excessive CPU usage by one or more clients causes extreme slowness
in all areas: FTP, Telnet, Web Sites and more. If the CPU usage
gets too far out of hand, all sites hosted on the machine will return
Errors and not be accessible in any way.
What happens if I violate this policy?
All accounts that are found to using excessive amounts of system
resources will receive an email warning from phpwebhosting.biz. This
warning will inform you that there is too much CGI running and it
will provide options for reducing the usage or upgrading your server.
If you do not reduce the usage within 24 hours of the email being
sent, your CGI scripts will be disabled.
