HostingReseller in its sole discretion deems to be reasonable. If at any time
HostingReseller deems your bandwidth usage to be abusive or unreasonable for the level of service you have purchased, or your bandwidth usage threatens to impair the quality of other users' service,
HostingReseller may, at its sole discretion take steps to limit the amount of bandwidth you consume, or request you to upgrade to a higher package. Special hosting packages can be designed for sites that require higher than normal bandwidth.
