Summary: What you can run on a VPSDime VPS and what isn't allowed, the email sending policy, how DDoS attacks against your VPS are handled, and what happens if you use up your monthly traffic.

How your VPS may be used, and how we protect the network everyone shares. The binding documents are the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://vpsdime.com/aup) and [Terms of Service](https://vpsdime.com/tos); these guides explain the rules and what actually happens in practice.

- [What you can run, and what isn't allowed](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/acceptable-use/whats-allowed). The allowed and prohibited list, and what happens if a VPS is compromised.
- [Sending email from your VPS](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/acceptable-use/email-policy). Low-volume mail is fine, bulk mail is not, and what our monitoring does.
- [DDoS attacks and null-routing](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/acceptable-use/ddos-policy). What happens when your VPS is attacked, and what to do if you're a frequent target.
- [Security testing, port scanning, and pen testing](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/acceptable-use/security-testing). Authorized testing of your own or consented targets is fine; scanning third parties or us is not.
- [Traffic allowance and overages](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/acceptable-use/bandwidth-overage). The warning emails, the 24-hour window, and how suspension and reset work.
