Resource Usage Policy

All resources assigned (except network) are dedicated to each client unless explicitly mentioned otherwise. GoMach5 guarantees 100% resource allocation to all clients on our VPS services.

Clients on other shared services agree that their website may be suspended or throttled if it consumes too many resources compared to
its neighbors. While there is no set number and resource abuse is dealt with on a case by case basis, the client agrees that GoMach5 has final
discretion on what constitutes as using too many resources.
