Connection One Networks, Inc.

Policies - Database Resource Usage

MySQL databases are provided optional to all account types. Use of our MySQL service is subject to the conditions and restrictions shown below.

Each qualifying individual account is limited to a maximum of five (5) databases in total.

No database may be used to act as a "hit counter," or for logging of information distributed nightly in the raw web logs (including but not limited to browser and page referrer information).

Each individual database is allotted up to 20MB (megabytes) of disk space. Extra disk usage within reason is allowed, and Connection One Networks reserves the right to charge for overusage.

Databases may not be used for circumventing account disk allowances by storing normal Web content (HTML, images, etc) within the database.

Databases may only be used in conjuction with Connection One Networks hosted accounts. Access to databases from outside our local network is provided strictly for site and database development.

Databases may not be used to store binary data (including but not limited to image, multimedia and application files). These files should be stored within the user account and referred to in the database by a "pointer," if needed.

Connection One Networks reserves the right to require changes to database designs or usage methods in any case where such designs or methods are found to have an adverse impact on a database server and/or other databases on that server.

Connection One Networks reserves the right to disable any database determined to be unacceptably harming performance of a database server.

More Information

This policy exists in order to protect the integrity and performance of the database servers for all users. Accounts that acquired more than 5 databases before this policy went in to effect will be allowed to operate them for the lifetime of that account.

For projects too database-intensive for the shared database servers, dedicated servers are available call for pricing.
