# Fair Usage Policy

> Keeping shared infrastructure fast and reliable for everyone.

<Note>
  **Last updated: July 2026** — This policy supplements our [Terms of Service](/policies/terms-of-service) and [Acceptable Usage Policy](/policies/acceptable-usage-policy).
</Note>

## 1. Why We Have This Policy

Many of our plans run on shared, high-performance nodes. To guarantee consistent speed and reliability for every customer, we ask that resource usage stays within the fair-share expectations described below.

<Card title="The Short Version" icon="lightbulb" iconType="solid" color="#AAFF00">
  Use the resources your plan provides for your own workload — just don't abuse shared capacity in a way that degrades other customers' services.
</Card>

## 2. CPU & Memory

* Each plan includes a defined CPU and RAM allocation; sustained usage should stay within it
* Short **bursts** above your baseline are fine — sustained maxing of shared cores is not
* Workloads that repeatedly destabilize a node may be throttled or asked to upgrade

<Info>
  Occasional spikes are expected and handled gracefully. It's sustained, continuous overuse that affects your neighbours.
</Info>

## 3. Storage

* Disk space is for your application, its data, and reasonable backups
* Using storage as a general file-dump, public download mirror, or backup target for unrelated systems is **not permitted**
* Excessive disk I/O that impacts neighbours may be rate-limited

## 4. Bandwidth & Network

* Plans include generous bandwidth for normal bot, database, and application traffic
* Operating high-volume file distribution, streaming relays, or proxy/VPN exit services is **not covered** by standard plans
* Traffic patterns resembling abuse or attacks may be mitigated automatically

## 5. What Happens If Usage Is Excessive

We prefer to work with you first. If your service consistently exceeds fair-share limits, here's what to expect:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Notification">
    We'll reach out to explain what we're seeing and give you a chance to address it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optimization Guidance">
    We'll suggest ways to optimize your workload or recommend an appropriate plan upgrade.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Temporary Throttle">
    If the service is actively harming other customers, we may throttle it while we work with you on a solution.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Suspension">
    Suspension is a last resort — or immediate in cases of clear, intentional abuse.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 6. Dedicated Resources

<Card title="Need More Power?" icon="server" iconType="solid" color="#AAFF00">
  If your workload genuinely needs sustained high resource usage, we offer plans with **dedicated CPU, memory, and bandwidth** — no fair-share limits apply.

  Reach out and we'll help you find the right fit for your needs.
