The number of inodes employed by single cpanel account should not exceed more than two hundred and fifty thousand 250,000 inodes on any shared or reseller account. If limit of 250,000 inodes reached – account may be suspended for TOS violation, while TeconceHost will send a warning email to client beforehand. If a specific user upload/create enormous amount of files on regular basis, use disk space as storage and keep thousands of files/photos/emails – he will be queued for investigation and put at-risk of suspension.
Chat Rooms
TeconceHost , Inc does allow 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.
Background Processes/Programs
TeconceHost may allow programs to run continually in the background, these are considered on a one to one basis and a extra charge may be incured based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a TeconceHost server or using an email address that is maintained on a TeconceHost machine, is STRICTLY prohibited.

Please make an effort to limit outgoing mail on your account to no more than 5000 pieces per DAY and no more than 20 pieces per minute. Many times we have seen sites push over 1000 emails in one hit, this causes extreme server loads and prevents other people from accessing server services. Large mailings are preferred to be sent from the hours of 12AM – 8AM EST. Sites with large mailing databases, need to be placed on dedicated server or VPS platform.
