Hosting fair use
Unlimited hosting removes a fixed website-traffic or ordinary file quota for normal use; it does not turn a shared web server into unlimited backup, archive or bulk-distribution storage.
Active website useServe files required by your hosted sites.
Shared resourcesCPU, memory and I/O remain finite.
Not archive storageKeep backups on suitable external storage.
Normal use
Typical pages, application code, databases, images, downloads and mail associated with an active hosted service are expected. Efficiently built sites can grow without worrying about a small arbitrary quota.
Outside fair use
Personal computer backups, large archives unrelated to the website, file-sharing mirrors, bulk media libraries, abusive automation and workloads that repeatedly impair other customers are not ordinary shared-hosting use.
When a site grows
If legitimate traffic or processing consistently exceeds shared-server capacity, UKC can discuss optimisation or a service with dedicated resources. The aim is a stable website, not punishment for success.
