Abuse of Unlimited Traffic and Unlimited Storag e
Sentris.Com Network’s concept behind “unlimited traffic” and “unlimited storage” is to provide our customers with an unlimited amount of storage space and bandwidth for active web pages and cannot be used as a “storage space” for electronic files. Sites that fall under “electronic storage” are LARGE archives of images, compressed files, movies, or sound files. Sentris.Com allows up to 25 megs of archive storage, ex. movies, sound files (including real audio files), images, compressed files, Real Audio or Video archives, ect. To ensure proper use, all HTML pages MUST be hyperlinked to files (.html,.jpg, .gif, etc.) stored on Sentris.Com Network’s server and vice versa. Cgi chat scripts are also not allowed and are considered and abuse of unlimited bandwidth. Any cgi scripts that consume large amounts of cpu usage or memory are also not allowed. The user will be asked to remove any script that abuses system resources.
