No, Rhombic Networks does not allow reseller hosting.

Reseller hosting is a detriment to the web hosting industry. To keep our quality of service at the top of the pack, we do not allow reselling of Rhombic Networks accounts, which are designed for the individual person, small groups, or business.

Rhombic Networks does not use what is known as “hard quotas.” That is, your site is not immediately shut down if you go over the allowed disk utilization in your plan.

We check disk usage on accounts nightly. If you go over, we will contact you. Inadequate response or action on your part will result in enforcement as detailed in our terms of service.

This policy lets you use as much space as you want for a short period of time—perfect for quick operations that need a lot of disk space, like creating backups.

Everything in your server home directory is counted towards your disk usage, including your web pages, images, stored e-mail, other databases, and other files. Usage in MySQL databases (stored separately from your server home directory) also count toward your disk usage.

No; we do not support FTP as it is extremely insecure. FTP sends login information (your login and password) in plaintext over the Internet for any hacker to steal. Because we value your data, our data, and our other clients’ data, we do not offer any sort of FTP access.

We recommend and support use of SFTP. With SFTP, both login information and your files are transferred encrypted, secure and safe from prying eyes.
