Shared hosting fair use

How UKC applies fair use to unlimited hosting

Unlimited hosting is designed for normal website content and growth without a fixed storage allowance. Fair use keeps the shared platform responsive by preventing any one account from consuming resources in a way that affects other customers.

Appropriate use

Store the files and databases needed to operate your websites

Normal pages, images, scripts, databases and business email are expected uses. The service is not intended as a general file archive, remote backup repository, media-distribution platform or a substitute for dedicated storage.

Platform health

We look for sustained, disproportionate use or abuse

Traffic, processor time, memory, database activity, file counts and disk use can all affect a shared server. A temporary spike is different from a workload that continually reduces service quality for other accounts.

If there is a concern

UKC will normally help you resolve it

Where practical, we contact the account holder so unnecessary data can be removed, the website optimised or a more suitable service selected. Review the current fair-use guidance for full details.
