Some sites would just be too busy to host on our machines. Ask first.

Sites that use a lot of the cpu load and or ram memory cause the server to load sites too slow. Also, sites with several large mail lists can cause slowness. It is at our discretion, that if a site uses too much resources, no matter what the cause, we may need to move the site to another of our servers, or in many cases, we will ask for them to find a new host.
