Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated 2026-05-15
v4vm is built to host whatever you legitimately need to host. To keep the network fast and reputable for everyone, the following are prohibited:
Hard nope
- Anything illegal where you, we, or your users are.
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Reports go straight to law enforcement and the account is terminated immediately.
- Phishing, malware distribution, command-and-control servers for botnets.
- Network abuse: port scanning at scale, DDoS attacks, spoofed-source traffic.
- Spam — unsolicited bulk email, SMS, IM. Outbound port 25 is rate-limited.
Network
- Bandwidth is metered per plan. Overage is billed at the rate listed in your product page; we'll email before you hit it.
- Sustained 100% network utilization for >72 hours requires a chat with us first.
Resource use
- You can use 100% of your allocated CPU, RAM, and disk. We don't shape.
- Cryptocurrency mining is allowed if you're paying for the resources you use, and only on plans that explicitly permit it.
