Hosting Resource Policy

Unlimited Usage Policy

Effective from June 30, 2026. By using any HostLaza hosting plan, you agree to the fair usage terms outlined on this page.

Introduction

This Unlimited Usage Policy ("Policy") explains how HostLaza's hosting resources are made available and how they should be used responsibly. At HostLaza, our hosting plans are built to give customers flexibility as their websites grow. When we say "unlimited," our intention is to remove small technical limits — not to allow misuse of shared server resources.

The server environment is shared across multiple customers. To ensure consistent performance and reliability for everyone, usage must remain reasonable, balanced, and aligned with the purpose of each hosting plan. This Policy applies to all hosting plans offered by HostLaza, including:

Plans Covered by This Policy
  • Shared Hosting
  • Unlimited Web Hosting
  • cPanel Reseller Hosting
  • Master Reseller Hosting
  • Alpha Reseller Hosting

By using any HostLaza service, you agree to use hosting resources responsibly and in full compliance with this Policy. This Policy forms part of your agreement with HostLaza alongside our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.

What "Unlimited" Hosting Means

The term "unlimited" refers to the removal of fixed technical caps on specific resources — such as disk space or the number of websites you can host — so that your website can grow without hitting an artificial ceiling. It does not mean that our servers have unlimited physical capacity.

Important Clarification All hosting servers have finite hardware resources — including CPU cores, RAM, disk I/O, and network capacity. These resources are shared fairly across all customers on a server. "Unlimited" removes predefined quota limits; it does not grant any single customer the right to consume resources beyond what is reasonable for normal website operations.

Unlimited hosting is designed to support real, active websites. As long as your usage represents typical website behavior — loading pages, serving visitors, sending business emails, and running a standard CMS — you can continue to use resources freely and without interruption.

What Unlimited Plans Are Designed For

HostLaza's Unlimited hosting plans are designed to support real, active web presence. The following use cases represent appropriate and intended uses of unlimited resources:

Appropriate Uses
  • Business websites and company portals
  • Personal and professional blogs
  • Portfolio and creative showcase websites
  • E-commerce stores and product catalogues
  • Informational and educational websites
  • Client websites managed under reseller accounts
  • Standard CMS installations (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc.)
  • Business email accounts for professional communication

What Unlimited Plans Must NOT Be Used For

Unlimited hosting plans are intended exclusively for website hosting. The following uses are strictly prohibited as they consume excessive server resources and negatively impact performance for all customers on the shared server:

  • Backup storage systems or personal data archives
  • File dumping, bulk file storage, or archiving solutions
  • Video libraries, movie repositories, or media content archives
  • Audio or video streaming platforms that serve large media files
  • File-sharing or download mirror platforms (similar to Rapidshare, Mega, etc.)
  • Cloud storage services or personal document repositories
  • Image hosting platforms for third-party use
  • Any activity that continuously consumes excessive CPU, RAM, or disk I/O
Violation Consequences Hosting accounts found to be used for any of the above purposes may be subject to resource restriction, a request to remove non-compliant files, or suspension of service to protect overall server stability.

Shared Hosting Usage

Shared Hosting plans are designed for individual websites or small web projects. Because server resources are shared across multiple customers, the activity of any single account can directly affect the experience of others on the same server.

Fair Use on Shared Servers If a shared hosting account consumes excessive CPU, memory, disk I/O, or entry processes over a sustained period, HostLaza may contact the customer with a request to optimize their website, or recommend an upgrade to a more suitable hosting plan.

Storage space on Shared Hosting plans is provided for website files, databases, and email related to an active website. It must not be used as a personal file storage or backup repository. As a general guideline, individual accounts are expected to stay within practical storage limits relative to the plan selected.

Unlimited Hosting Usage

Unlimited Hosting plans remove fixed storage and bandwidth caps, allowing websites to grow naturally without predefined quotas. These plans are ideal for growing businesses, multi-page websites, online stores, and active blogs.

What "Unlimited" Covers
  • Website files, images, themes, and plugin data
  • MySQL databases required for your active websites
  • Email accounts and business email storage
  • Incoming and outgoing web traffic (bandwidth)

Despite the absence of a fixed storage cap, storage usage is expected to stay within reasonable levels consistent with normal website operations. If storage grows to an extent that suggests non-website use — such as bulk file uploads or media archives — HostLaza reserves the right to request removal of non-compliant content.

As a practical benchmark, Unlimited Hosting accounts are generally expected not to exceed 50 GB of total storage per cPanel account for standard website use. Accounts significantly exceeding this benchmark may be reviewed for compliance with this Policy.

Reseller Hosting Usage

Reseller Hosting plans allow you to create and manage multiple cPanel accounts under a single WHM dashboard, enabling you to host websites for your clients. All reseller accounts are expected to follow fair usage rules to maintain server stability.

Reseller Responsibility As a reseller, you are fully responsible for monitoring and managing the resource usage and behavior of all client accounts under your control. Repeated abuse by a client account under your reseller plan may also result in action being taken against your reseller account.
DDoS Attacks & CPU Abuse If any account under a reseller plan abuses CPU usage, causes excessive server load, or is involved in activities such as DDoS attacks or spam sending, HostLaza reserves the right to suspend or terminate the affected account to protect the server and all other customers on it.

In most cases, HostLaza follows a structured resolution process before final termination:

  1. If a user exceeds resource usage limits, we may issue up to three warnings, each allowing 24 hours to resolve the issue
  2. If the problem remains unresolved, the account may be suspended, with an additional 24-hour window provided for corrective action
  3. If the issue is still not resolved after suspension, the account may be permanently terminated

A backup of the affected account is generally provided before final termination. However, no backup will be available after termination if the issue remains unresolved following multiple warnings.

Master Reseller Hosting Usage

Master Reseller Hosting allows you to create and manage multiple reseller accounts, enabling you to build a complete hosting business. All Master Reseller accounts operate within the shared server environment and are subject to the same fair usage principles.

Cascading Responsibility As a Master Reseller, you are responsible for the resource usage and conduct of all reseller accounts and their underlying client accounts under your management. Abuse that originates from any account within your network may result in action being taken against your Master Reseller account.

HostLaza applies the same structured warning and suspension process for Master Reseller accounts as for standard reseller accounts. If excessive resource usage or policy violations are detected, HostLaza will work with you to resolve the issue through a fair and transparent process before taking any final action.

Alpha Reseller Hosting Usage

Alpha Reseller Hosting is HostLaza's highest-tier reseller plan, offering the maximum available resources for large-scale reseller operations. While Alpha Reseller plans provide significantly higher resource allocations, all fair usage principles and this Policy continue to apply without exception.

High-Resource Operations Alpha Reseller customers managing large volumes of client accounts are encouraged to proactively monitor resource usage across all accounts. HostLaza recommends regular audits of client account resource consumption to ensure overall server performance remains optimal for all users on the shared infrastructure.

In cases where Alpha Reseller account usage consistently approaches or exceeds levels that impact server stability, HostLaza may recommend upgrading to a dedicated server environment or a WHM Root Server for complete resource isolation.

CPU & RAM Usage

Each hosting account on HostLaza's shared servers is allocated defined CPU and RAM limits through cPanel's resource management system. These limits exist to ensure a stable and fair environment for all customers on the server.

Resource Limit Guidelines
  • CPU Usage: Each account is allocated a defined CPU percentage. Sustained high CPU usage — typically caused by poorly optimised scripts, excessive cron jobs, or unoptimised databases — may trigger resource warnings
  • RAM (Memory): Each account has a defined memory limit per process. If a script or application consistently consumes excessive RAM, it will be automatically restricted or terminated by the server
  • Entry Processes: The number of simultaneous PHP processes that can be initiated by a single account is limited to prevent server overload
  • Concurrent Connections: The number of simultaneous connections or running processes per account is capped to ensure fair access for all users on the server
If an account exceeds its allocated CPU or RAM limits more than five times in a single day, HostLaza may require the customer to upgrade to a higher-tier plan. Continued failure to upgrade after repeated breaches may result in service cancellation, with refunds handled as per our Refund Policy.

Disk Storage Usage

Storage space is provided to support website-related data only. This includes website files, CMS installations, themes, plugins, databases, and email data that are directly required for the operation of an active website.

Storage Benchmark As a practical guideline, individual cPanel accounts are generally expected not to exceed 50 GB of total storage for normal website operations. Reseller environments will have storage distributed across client accounts within the overall allocated allocation for the reseller plan.

HostLaza services should not be used as:

  • Personal or business backup storage systems
  • File dumping or archiving solutions
  • Media libraries for videos, movies, or large audio files
  • Download or file-sharing platforms

If storage usage grows beyond reasonable levels, HostLaza may contact you and request that unnecessary or non-compliant files be removed, or recommend a transition to a more appropriate hosting solution.

Database Usage

Databases should be used responsibly and optimised regularly. Extremely large or poorly optimised databases can significantly impact server performance and query response times for all customers sharing the same database server.

Database Size Guideline As a general benchmark, individual MySQL databases should not exceed 1 GB in size. If a database grows beyond this threshold and begins to affect server performance, HostLaza may request that the database be optimised, cleaned up, or reduced in size. In severe cases, we may temporarily restrict database access until the issue is resolved.

Multiple databases may be created per account, but each database must remain within reasonable size limits. Databases used to store non-website data — such as bulk data exports, analytics archives, or application logs — are not permitted on shared hosting servers.

Email Storage

Email accounts included with hosting plans are intended for normal business communication. Each email account should remain within reasonable storage limits to prevent excessive disk usage and to ensure reliable email delivery for all customers.

Email Storage Guideline Individual email accounts are recommended to stay within a maximum storage size of 5 GB per mailbox for optimal performance. Accounts that consistently store significantly larger volumes of email data may affect mailbox synchronisation speed and server I/O performance.

If an email account accumulates excessive storage and begins affecting server performance, HostLaza may request a cleanup of old emails or may temporarily restrict email access until the storage usage is reduced to an acceptable level.

To avoid email storage issues, we recommend regularly archiving or deleting old emails, using email forwarding for accounts that receive high volumes, and setting sensible per-mailbox storage quotas within cPanel.

Bandwidth & Data Transfer

HostLaza does not impose strict bandwidth caps on hosting accounts for normal website traffic. Websites are free to receive visitors and serve content to users without incurring additional charges for standard bandwidth usage.

Fair Bandwidth Use Bandwidth must not be abused. The following activities are not permitted and may result in suspension or termination of the hosting service:
  • Using hosting accounts as traffic relay nodes, proxies, or anonymisers
  • Facilitating illegal downloads or serving pirated content
  • Operating file-sharing or torrent-indexing platforms
  • Hosting content that serves as a download mirror for large files
  • Streaming large video or audio files to end users at scale

Repeated misuse of bandwidth may lead to suspension of the affected service until the underlying cause is resolved.

Backup Usage

HostLaza may provide backup facilities as a courtesy service. Any backups generated by HostLaza are for disaster recovery purposes only and are not guaranteed to be available at all times.

Important: Backups Are Not a Storage Solution Hosting accounts must not be used to store large manual backups, database dumps, or archived files of non-active website data. Storing excessive backup files within your hosting account consumes unnecessary server disk space and may result in a request to remove the files.
HostLaza strongly recommends maintaining your own independent, off-server backups of all website data, databases, and email. You are solely responsible for the safety and availability of your own data. HostLaza is not liable for data loss arising from the unavailability of server-side backups.

Fair Usage Policy

HostLaza's hosting plans operate in a shared environment. Fair usage is the principle that ensures all customers on a shared server receive consistent, reliable performance. No single account should consume a disproportionate share of server resources at the expense of other customers.

Fair Use Principles
  • Resource usage must remain consistent with normal website operations
  • Scripts, applications, and databases should be optimised and maintained regularly
  • Cron jobs and background processes must not run at intervals that cause sustained high server load
  • Storage must be used exclusively for active website data
  • Email usage must reflect normal business communication patterns

HostLaza continuously monitors server resource usage to identify accounts that may be negatively affecting overall server performance. If such an account is identified, our team will reach out with specific guidance and a reasonable timeframe to resolve the issue.

Resource Abuse & Consequences

HostLaza defines resource abuse as any pattern of usage that negatively and consistently affects server performance, disrupts the service quality of other customers, or violates the terms of this Policy.

When resource abuse is detected, HostLaza reserves the right to take the following actions — escalating progressively based on the severity and persistence of the issue:

Enforcement Actions
  1. Request Optimisation: We will contact you directly and provide specific recommendations to optimise your scripts, databases, or files
  2. Recommend Upgrade: If the issue is due to genuine growth, we will recommend upgrading to a more suitable hosting plan that provides dedicated resources
  3. Restrict Excessive Usage: We may temporarily apply resource restrictions to the affected account to protect overall server stability
  4. Temporary Suspension: In cases of persistent or severe abuse, we may suspend the service temporarily to prevent further impact on the server
  5. Termination: If the issue remains unresolved after repeated warnings and the account continues to pose a risk to server stability, HostLaza reserves the right to permanently terminate the service
In cases of extreme abuse — including DDoS attacks, cryptocurrency mining, or deliberate server overload — HostLaza may suspend the account immediately without prior notice to protect the integrity of the server and the service quality of all other customers.

Server Stability & Abuse Prevention

Maintaining server stability is a shared responsibility. HostLaza takes a proactive approach to monitoring and protecting the performance of its servers for the benefit of all customers.

How HostLaza Protects Server Performance
  • Continuous server-level monitoring of CPU, RAM, disk I/O, and entry processes
  • Automated throttling of accounts that breach defined resource thresholds
  • Proactive identification and removal of malicious scripts and security vulnerabilities
  • Real-time DDoS detection and mitigation at the network level
  • Regular server optimisation and infrastructure maintenance

Customers can help maintain server stability by keeping all CMS software, themes, and plugins up to date, regularly optimising databases, and removing unused or outdated files from their hosting accounts.

What "Unlimited" Truly Means

Unlimited plans at HostLaza are designed to support personal and small-to-medium business websites without the friction of strict technical barriers. As long as your usage aligns with normal website behaviour and does not harm server stability, you can continue to use resources freely.

"Unlimited" Means
  • No fixed storage quota that blocks your website from growing
  • No fixed monthly bandwidth cap that causes your website to go offline mid-month
  • No artificial limit on the number of websites, databases, or email accounts (subject to plan specifications)
  • Freedom to grow your website naturally without constant monitoring of usage meters

If usage patterns begin to create performance risks for other users on the same server, HostLaza may recommend moving to a VPS or dedicated server solution for better performance and complete resource isolation.

What "Unlimited" Does NOT Mean

To avoid any misunderstanding, HostLaza's "unlimited" hosting plans do not include the following:

  • Unlimited physical server resources — CPU, RAM, and disk I/O are finite and shared
  • Unlimited file storage for non-website content such as backups, archives, or media libraries
  • Unlimited server capacity for running resource-intensive applications, background daemons, or intensive cron jobs
  • Unlimited email storage beyond what is reasonable for business communication
  • Unlimited database sizes without regard for performance impact
  • Enterprise-level workloads or high-concurrency applications on shared hosting infrastructure
Our systems include automated safeguards to prevent any single account from negatively impacting the performance and stability of the shared server environment. These safeguards apply to all customers equally and without exception.

Upgrade Recommendation

HostLaza's shared hosting environment is optimised for small to medium-sized websites. If your website or application has grown to a point where it consistently requires more resources than a shared hosting plan can provide, an upgrade is the right solution — not a workaround.

When to Consider Upgrading
  • Your website receives a consistently high volume of concurrent visitors
  • You regularly hit CPU or RAM usage limits
  • You need to run resource-intensive applications such as large e-commerce platforms, custom APIs, or data-processing scripts
  • Your storage requirements exceed the practical benchmarks for shared hosting
  • You require guaranteed, isolated resources that are not shared with other customers

In such cases, HostLaza may recommend upgrading to a higher-tier hosting plan, a VPS, or a dedicated server for complete performance isolation. Our support team is available to help you identify the most suitable solution for your needs.
