Fair Usage Policy
At Synaps Media, our vision is making process of having a website as easy as creating a social media account. We believe this will create real solution to have independent and decentralized internet. But this requires providing a service with a simplified set of rules. As a non-technical content creator, "100 GB Bandwidth Limit" may not give any idea about the potential effects of that for them. And we think mentioning -even very big- limits, discourage people to create a website to publish their content.
When we mention "unlimited" in our plan features, we mean no-limit for a regular usage that matches with the purpose of this service: "publishing your content in your website hosted on Synaps Media". This includes:
- Creating posts and pages as much as you want in your Ghost website hosted on Synaps Media.
- Putting any number of images in your posts or pages, in your website hosted on Synaps Media.
- Putting audio, video or other types of files to your posts and pages, as much as it's needed as part of your content.
But there are some use-cases that doesn't match of the purpose of service given by Synaps Media. Some examples would be:
- Using your hosting plan as a cloud storage, alternative to iCloud or Google Drive.
- Uploading files to website hosted on Synaps Media and providing them outside of the website hosted on us. Like uploading videos here and embedding them on other websites.
So for keeping our services affordable for every one, we have soft limits for every type of resources we mention as "unlimited". Those soft limits are the limits those are very surprising to see in a regular website. When we see a web site is about to hit a soft limit on a resource, we'll check your website and try to understand what is happening. We may reach you to discuss about the situation as well. If it's just because of you made it and your website featured in CNN News, we'll celebrate together. 😊 Otherwise we'll kindly ask you to upgrade your plan to a plan that will specially organized for you or, we may suspend your website if there is no other way.
In short, nothing to worry about "Fair Usage Policy" for you. If you doubt about your use-case and have question marks, please feel free to write us by emailing help@synapsmedia.com
