Unlimited Traffic/Hits & Server Resource Usage:

Digital Omaha Network is pleased to offer our Managed Virtual Hosting clients unlimited traffic/hits, and server usage. Unlimited Traffic/Hits refers to the number of visitors to your website, NOT the amount of bandwidth/data transfer. Your account is still limited to the alotted bandwidth/data transfer included with your selected package. To maintain the integrity of our service the following traffic/usage limitations apply to Managed Virtual Hosting accounts.

• Sites with banners, graphics or cgi's running from their domain being used on other domains.
• Sites with immense graphic archives or galleries.
• Sites offering immense download archives, such as .zip, .tar, .ra and .GZ.
• Sites running large chat room gatherings.
• Sites using more than 20% of system resources
• If you do not qualify for unlimited traffic/hits, your account may be required to be upgraded, or, Digital Omaha Network may move your site to a different server, to reduce the load on the server you are currently residing... Digital Omaha Network will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of usage limitations. Bandwidth/data transfer will go unmonitored until you reach your account limit, then normal over-usage data transfer costs will apply. At any time Digital Omaha Network may move your site to a different server, to reduce the load on the server you are currently residing...

Chat Rooms:

Digital Omaha Network does allow Managed Virtual Hosting clients to install their own chat rooms. However, these tend to be large system hogs and may fall into the usage limitations clause. We do provide a html based cgi chatroom that runs without hindering the performance of the machine for others. You are free to run your own chat script, as long as it does not hinder server performance.
