Fair Share/Fair Use and Bandwidth Limitations:
Silver Creek Technologies, Inc. strives to offer robust and dependable server hosting services. To maintain a quality experience for all customers, it is vital to manage network resources effectively. This Fair Share/Fair Use clause outlines the bandwidth limitations and policies applicable to our range of services. By availing of our services, you agree to adhere to these conditions.
Shared Servers:
Shared servers come standard with a 1 Gbps port that is burstable up to 10 Gbps for optimal performance. A soft cap of 100 Mbps is established per shared server. This limit can be raised to 200 Mbps for an additional fee of +$15/month.
Bare-metal (VDS / Virtual Dedicated Servers):
All bare-metal servers are equipped with a non-burstable 1 Gbps port as standard. This port is apportioned among the server's slices. The minimum slice, constituting 25% of the machine, offers a bandwidth of 250 Mbps. The bandwidth on each slice may be upgraded to be burstable at an additional cost of +$35/month.
Dedicated Bare-Metal Servers:
Dedicated bare-metal servers are furnished with a standard, non-burstable 1 Gbps port. Clients have the option to upgrade this to a burstable port, capable of reaching up to 10 Gbps, for an additional fee of +$75/month. Dedicated bandwidth can be purchased in accordance with the following rate card:
- 1 Gbps Unmetered (standard)
- 2 Gbps Unmetered (+$100/month)
- 3 Gbps Unmetered (+$200/month)
- 5 Gbps Unmetered (+$350/month)
- 10 Gbps Unmetered (+$599/month)
Please note, all network ports are subject to shared usage by default. A dedicated network port is available for an extra charge of +$200/month.
Monthly Soft Caps:
In alignment with this Acceptable Use Policy, the following monthly soft caps are set:
- Shared: 50 TB/month, incremental in blocks of +25 TB/month at a rate of $25/month.
- Bare-Metal: 100 TB/month, incremental in blocks of +50 TB/month at a rate of $50/month.
- Dedicated: 250 TB/month, incremental in blocks of +125 TB/month at a rate of $75/month.
Opting for the "burstable 10 Gbps" package additionally includes +150 TB/month to your service.
Additional IPs:
Additional IP addresses can be acquired at a rate of $5/month each. Clients are obliged to provide a rationale for the necessity of extra IPs, as we seek to avert misuse and to safeguard our network from potential blacklisting. We retain the right to revoke IP addresses if they are implicated in unresolved abuse or comparable infractions.
This Fair Share/Fair Use clause serves to preserve the integrity and quality of services offered by Silver Creek Technologies, Inc. Failure to comply with these limitations is considered a violation of this Acceptable Use Policy, and we reserve the right to take action.
This AUP is in place to protect SCT, our customers, and the wider internet community from inappropriate and potentially harmful activities. We retain sole discretion in determining whether any particular use of the services violates this AUP. We may update this AUP from time to time and will notify our customers of significant changes. By continuing to use our services after such changes are implemented, you are agreeing to abide by the updated AUP.
