Alerts Before Charges: How Usage Limits Should Work
Get alerts before being charged for going over your hosting usage limits

What are hosting usage limits, and why do they matter?
Hosting usage limits are set to prevent abuse and ensure fair use of resources. These limits are in place to prevent any single user from consuming too many resources, which could negatively impact the performance of other sites on the same server. Going over these limits can lead to unexpected charges, which can be a surprise to many users.
Borg Sites alerts clients before charges to avoid surprises. This approach helps prevent bill shock and ensures transparency in hosting costs.
How do Borg Sites' usage limits work?
Borg Sites sets a usage allowance for each hosting plan. Clients are alerted when they reach 80% and 100% of the allowance. Extra usage is billed transparently at published overage rates. This means that clients are never surprised by unexpected charges and can plan their hosting costs accordingly.
The alerts are sent automatically, and clients can take action to reduce their usage or upgrade their plan to avoid additional charges.
