Your storage allowance is only to be used for your Minecraft server, any unrelated items that are stored on your server may be deleted.
• For Unlimited storage packages, the space you are allocated is based on Fair Usage. We will contact you if you do use an unreasonable amount of space.
• Very Large dynmaps, logs and backups may be deleted if they take up a considerable amount of space which can potentially cause issues on the node.
