Fair use of Bandwidth and System Resources
| | Bandwidth allocation and server processor, disk and memory resources are finite. BCISGNet operates a fair usage policy, and may implement the policy to its sole discretion: When a website found to be monopolising the resources available, the account holder(s) will be contacted in order to discuss the situation. If no arrangement can be reached, BCISGNet reserves the right to terminate the account. |
Disk Space
| | BCISGNet operates a 250Mb storage and 1.5GB/month transfer guide line for each organisation. This guideline includes emails. When using  IMAPs (where email is stored on the server) we recommend users download and store email localy and keep the amount stored on the server to a minimum, and practice good house keeping ie. compact all folders regularly and empty the trash daily. In cases where more than 250Mb are required, BCISGNet is only to happy to discuss requirements with the aim of coming to a practical solution. Additional bandwidth can be purchased from our sponsors XSecHosting.

Backups
| | Ultimately each account holder is responsible for their own content, email and or any other data stored on the BCISGNet Servers. Web site backups are expected to be kept 'off server' by the account holder(s). CMS databases are backed up nightly and made available to the account holder(s) for download.
While server backups are done nightly to disk, final content responsibility is with the account holder(s). In the rare event of all disks failing. BCISGNet will contact the account holder(s), advise of the situation and the requirements for site/service restoration.
