Centrio Networks offers hosting packages bundled with limited or unlimited resources like disk space and/or other resources, such as data transfer, email accounts, databases etc. The use of Centrio's products and services are governed by a Fair Use Policy, stated here, which covers the fair use of bandwidth and other resources on shared and reseller hosting plans, where there is an indication of "Unmetered/Unlimited" data transfer or, storage capacity. - [R/18-12-2016]

The term "Unlimited" or, "Unmetered"

centriohost.com helps you to create large websites without worrying about ceiling or in other words, the upper limit. It provides for Unlimited space usages and bandwidth that allows you to add any amount of content to the website. People are thinking that hard disk size limited as 6TB, 10TB etc. But how can Centrio gives unlimited webspace? The actual concept is we do not give unlimited hard disk space, we are giving unlimited usages of web space. It means that if u will use 100 GB space then we will add more hard disk to our server or we will add new server in our network. Like that we will fulfill your unlimited resource usages.

When you use the service provided by Centrio, the visitors of your website also stand to benefit from it. They are able to view unlimited content and page on your website. The server allows for unlimited data transfer as well. You can add more content every month and enjoy unlimited disk space and data transfer through the Our server.

It has been noticed that people who make use of centriohost.com are able to gain to unlimited disk space and bandwidth. But this is subject to the appropriate usage of the package offered. However, Centrio has certain constraints related to the type of material that may be added to the website. The server does not allow you to upload unnecessary pirated software, unnecessary audio or video files. But audio / video streaming is supported. File sharing with copyrighted file is supported. For example, a software developer can release his software with us, a DJ can publish his album with us without any issue, they are (or, like them) most welcome to our host.

Following (including but not limited to), is NOT PERMITTED

1. Use of account as massive file storage, or in other words, as a space for files that are not elements of your website.

2. Use of account as large backup storage.

3. Storage of mass amount of file archives (such as zip,rar,gzip,7z etc), video files, audio files, documents, log files etc. and if those are not related with your websites.

4. Hosting High Resource Intensive Web Portals under shared hosting. (In such case consider upgrading the account to dedicated hosting, vm/vps/dedicated server plan)

5. Mass newsletter subscription based services. (Consider Business Email Hosting or, VPS/Dedicated server)

6. FTP or File Sharing services.

7. Use of hosting as a "mirror" for other websites.

8. Sharing of your account with 3rd party without consent.

9. Reselling of personal accounts or, offering large amount of free webhosting services with .ml .cf .tk etc domains. (except accounts hosted under reseller packages or, vm/vps/dedicated servers)

Illegal Activity

Customer may only use Centrio Web Hosting's Server for lawful purpose. Transmission of any material in violation of any Country, Federal, State or Local regulation is prohibited. To this effect, child pornography is strictly prohibited as well as housing any copyrighted information (to which the customer does not hold the copyright or an appropriate license) on Centrio Web Hosting's Server. Also, using Centrio's servers or network to conspire to commit or support the commission of illegal activities is forbidden as well. Illegal contents including, but not limited to pirated software, music, films, applications or other media stored in any file formats or extension. Having high-limit or unlimited access to resources does not mean, that you can use your account in a such a way that it negatively affects the server operation. Centrio reserves the right to limit users to a lower resource limit to preserve the effectiveness of the service for all users.

Abusive Scripts/Processes

Any script/process/etc that adversely affects the ability of any other customer to satisfactorily use their provided services is forbidden. This includes, but is not limited to, CPU-intensive CGI/PHP scripts and websites for which the scale of traffic has exceeded the acceptable limits of a shared/reseller hosting environment. We only accept these only our Dedicated Hosting environment (such as VM/VPS/Dedicated Server).

What files can I store on the web-server?

As long as your files tie directly into your website, are legal under applicable laws, and are linked to and displayed on your website, then you can store them on your account. Where possible issues arise is when one user attempts to offload all of their storage needs onto the web-server. It’s important to realize that a web-server, and our hosting network is optimized to handle website related files. The service is not a mass file storage one like Google Drive, Dropbox etc.

For instance if you have a folder with 25GB worth of pictures you’ve taken with your camera over the years. simply uploading these thousands upon thousands of images to your /public_ftp directory for storage is not related to your website. At that point you’d simply be utilizing the web-server as a file repository.

Why don’t I want to store everything on the web-server?

One important factor why you don’t want to cluter up your web-hosting account with un-related files is that our automatic remote backup service is only free on accounts under 10GB in size for Silver and Gold Cloud account. The automatic backup is free up to 30 GB for Business Cloud accounts.

As a shared-hosting customer you share the total web-server resources such as disk space with other customers. As such if everyone decided to upload all of their home photos to the web-server, things could quickly fill up, and you might not have room for store logos, or actual website related content.

Also last but not least, there are storage services available online where the specific purpose of those networks are to store mass volumes of backup data. Offloading your online storage needs to these types of services is generally easier to manage and keep track of than managing your files over FTP.

Hey, that doesn’t sound very “Unlimited” to me!

Actually, for you, my dear Legitimate Website Owner, it is unlimited.

This whole page is just to announce to the <.1% of people who want to try and run free porn affiliate sites or anime video trading forums or host pirated rips of The Dark Knight on our servers that we’re not having any.

But our pledge to you is to do our best to always keep your website, with the content you created.
