Script Usage Policy
We allow
you to write scripts
using CGI, PERL
and PHP!
|
Value Realty
Hosting provides our clients with web hosting accounts
that permit the use of CGI files, PHP
scripts, and other executable programs. Because these scripts use
much more system resources than standard HTML pages, certain restrictions must be made
governing the use of such "active content" systems. Under most circumstances, we
are able to pinpoint it to the offending account
on the system. The following rules apply to all
"active content" files as listed above:
|
-
The
scripts must use low system resources. Scripts that consume
a large amount of our RAM or processor will be subject to
immediate suspension until the owner can be notified and an
alternative solution is reached.
Each user account may
not use more than 20% of system resources at any given time.
If a web hosting account is consistently using 20% or
greater system resources, the account holder will be warned
and if no action is taken on behalf of the account holder
the web hosting account may be suspended.
-
The
scripts may not interact with any server configuration or
hardware. Web hosting accounts running these scripts are
subject to immediate account termination without
refund.
-
The
scripts can not be used or referenced from any other site
not hosted by Value Realty Hosting.
-
The
scripts must execute in a timely fashion. Any script that
uses the processor for more than a few milliseconds is
subject to removal.
-
All
scripts that appear to be designed specifically to attack or
otherwise maliciously affect the server is completely
unacceptable, and if such scripts are found in your web
hosting account the account will be terminated immediately
and your actions will be reported to the proper local,
state, and federal authorities and legal action will be
taken to prosecute the account holder to the fullest extent
of the law.
-
Perl-based chat room scripts are strictly
prohibited.
-
Scripts
that require high-bandwidth usage, such as non-Perl chat
room scripts or banner rotation scripts, are
prohibited.
-
Scripts
must be kept secure. Unnecessary chmoding scripts to 777 is
a violation of this policy. Keeping scripts in a publicly
viewable directory (one without a index.html file) is also
in violation of this policy. NOTE: If a script will NOT
execute with a permission other than 777 (rarely the case)
you may contact customer care to get approval for the script
which will be given under most circumstances.
-
Any web
hosting account with scripts found in violation of these
policies are subject to future scrutiny of all CGI, Perl,
CFM, ASP, and PHP scripts by our System Administrators. If a
script is found to be harmful to the system, it will be
killed immediately and the web hosting account locked down
until the account owners have been contacted. Malicious
scripts are subject to immediate web hosting account
termination without refund of any prepaid monies.
