Several factors can slow down a server. In order to guarantee the fastest possible connections, we need to monitor our servers for processes that overload them. Any party that slows our servers down, can and will be notified. Hosting.ph reserves the right to kill any process (i.e. end a software's execution) that is overloading a server, or slowing it down heavily.

Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a Hosting.ph server or client of Hosting.ph is strictly prohibited, and is followed by deactivation of the offending account with no refund.

Any accounts using constantly more than 20% of the total network and system resources will be notified. Hosting.ph will ask those accounts (using over 20% constantly) to remove certain material or upgrade to a dedicated hosting, else those accounts will be asked to leave in order for all other clients to be able to benefit from speed and fast performance.
