6. Hosting Space
Most of our shared hosting plans allow unlimited email address creation but in the interest of server stability, all shared hosting plans are allowed to consume up to 10GB for email storage only. Any accounts that exceed the email storage size may be suspended. We recommend to use an email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird (free download) to download and manage all emails on a local computer.
7. Unlimited
In a shared hosting server, multiple customer websites are hosted from the same server and share server resources. Casbay’s service is designed to meet the typical needs of small business and home business website. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises, internationally based businesses, or non-typical applications better suited to a dedicated server.
Casbay will make every commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to Customers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Terms, including moving Customers to newer and bigger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Customers, Casbay does place automated safeguards to protect against any one site growing too quickly and adversely impacting the system until Casbay can evaluate said sites resource needs. Accounts with a large number of files (inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse affect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables (i.e., in excess of 1000 database tables) or of database size (i.e., in excess of 3GB total MySQL/PostgreSQL usage per account or 2GB MySQL/PostgreSQL usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server. Casbay may request that the number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance or may terminate the Subscriber’s account, with or without notice. Apart from this, all shared hosting plans are set with an hourly sending limit of not more than 200 emails within a given hour. This policy is important to prevent spamming activities either deliberate or through poorly secured computers that are hacked for sending spamming emails.
Unlimited Domain Hosting. Casbay does not set arbitrary limits on the number of domain names a Customer can associate with the Customer’s web hosting account. However, Casbay reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Customers.

A de-listing fee of SGD135 is charged by the upstream service provider for every IP blacklist incident for case management and resolution. Depending on the nature and frequency of the spamming activity, a new IP may be assigned to the affected server as a last remedying solution to resume full email services. Rectification steps would only be taken provided that all spamming activities have receded permanently and the de-listing fee is paid.
