Traffic Guidelines
Due to the unique resource characteristics and traffic patterns associated with certain types of sites, the following are limited to 2 gigabytes per month of free traffic:

• Sub hosting - any domain housing additional users
• Shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia archives
• Mirror sites
• Distribution points
• Any site whose primary purpose is file distribution

CGI Scripts
Each account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effects normal server operation.

Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. These tend to be large resource hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. We do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge that run without hindering the performance of the machine for others.

Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one by one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

IRC
We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

Commercial Advertising - Email:
Our servers may not be the source, intermediary, or destination address involved in the transmission of spam, flames, or mail bombs. Your domain may not be referenced as originator, intermediary, or reply-to address in any of the above. Advertising sites on other servers which in turn contain links to a domain on our servers is prohibited. We consider spam to be any unsolicited commercial email (UCE) or unsolicited bulk email (UBE) in the mediums of Newsgroups, Fax, and Email. If you are found to have spammed, then we will immediately, without warning, disable your domain. In addition, we will impose a $100 penalty for each spam policy violation. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel service to known spammers. Lastly, we reserve the right to determine what violates this policy. We take pride in having one of the strictest anti-spam policies. To report abuses, please contact abuse@mitchellmedia.com
