Fair Usage Policy
Some Argon Hosting plans may describe website storage, bandwidth, email, databases, or other features as flexible or unmetered. This means Argon does not apply a fixed published monthly allocation to ordinary use of those features as part of the normal operation of websites. It does not mean that computing resources are infinite or may be used for purposes unrelated to the hosted website.
Hosting resources are intended for the normal operation of websites, web applications, email accounts, and databases associated with the customer’s business. Shared hosting may not be used primarily as a file-storage repository, remote backup service, bulk-download platform, video-distribution service, or other resource-intensive service that is not part of normal website operation.
Argon evaluates usage based on its duration, purpose, effect on server performance, security risk, and impact on other customers. If sustained or unusual usage affects the stability, security, performance, or availability of the hosting environment, Argon will ordinarily contact the customer and work toward an appropriate solution. That solution may include website optimization, removal of non-website data, migration to a higher-capacity plan, or a custom hosting configuration.
Argon may temporarily restrict resource usage without prior notice when immediate action is reasonably necessary to protect platform security, service availability, or other customers. Whenever practical, Argon will provide notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue before applying restrictions.
