======================================================================
It is your
responsibility to ensure that scripts/programs installed under
your account are secure and permissions of directories are set
properly, regardless of installation method. When at all
possible, set permissions on most directories to 755 or as
restrictive as possible. Users are ultimately responsible for
all actions taken under their account. This includes the
compromise of credentials such as username and password. It is
required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is
used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a
more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak
passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your
password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time
for you to change/update your password.

Cancellation and Refunds
We
reserve the right to cancel an account at any time. We do
not offer refunds for breech of our terms of service.
Customers may cancel at any time. We give you an
unconditional 30 day money back guarantee on managed shared
hosting, and reseller solution's. Refund requests after 30
days will be refunded on a prorated basis of any unused
time, if you selected a 3 month, 6 month, 1 year, or 2 year
term*. Partial months are non-refundable..
Only
first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example,
if you've had an account with us before, cancelled and
signed up again, you will not be eligible for a refund or if
you have opened a second account with us.
Unlimited / Unmetered Hosting Packages
When we
say unlimited domains, unmetered disk space or bandwidth,
of course there are terms & conditions that you must adhere
to. This means unlimited webpages, domains and web graphics,
not downloads or streaming media. Our servers are shared
hosting servers and memory and CPU usage is not unlimited.
CPU intensive files are not permitted on our servers and
accounts may not to be used to host a collection of mp3s,
audios, videos, anime, .rar files, Warez, gamers sites,
shout cast and similar, or to backup your computer or
another source. They may not be used for general storage of
any type. They may not be used as download mirrors or
download/upload portals. While the sale of eBooks and other
legal small download files are permitted within reason (see
download files below) with the unlimited package, hosting
and storage of mass quantities where our servers are used as
a distribution point is not permitted.
They may
not be used for HYIP (High Yield Investment Programs), Ponzi
schemes or pyramid schemes. They may not be used to provide
proxy servers. All content stored on a reseller account must
be directly used on the Internet by the website associated
with that account. These accounts may not be used as a
download distribution point for your software or media. They
are to be used for standard web practices only. This means
that all content stored on an unlimited account must be used
for "acceptable" website use. “Unacceptable” usage is
anything that a shared server would not be able to provide
under standard circumstances and uses a high percentage of
CPU or Memory (10%+) usage. Free hosting is not permitted
with any of our packages. We will not host resellers that
offer the so-called "lifetime" web hosting.
To maintain
the quality of our bandwidth and servers, we do not tolerate
violations and attempted violations of system and network. We do
not allow mini download sites, warez sites, or proxy sites.
Acceptable Use Policy
The
Internet is a powerful information and entertainment tool,
we would expect our customers to use the Internet with
respect, courtesy, and responsibility, giving due regard to
the rights of other Internet users.
Our acceptable use policy is
actively and strictly enforced. Offending content or users
are removed from our network, usually as soon as they are
discovered, although we will always inform you when and why
any action has been taken, if possible.
Common
sense is the best guide as to what is considered acceptable
use, however the following are unacceptable uses.
Illegality: In any form, including but not limited to the
unauthorized distribution or copying of copyrighted software
or other data, harassment, fraud, or trafficking in obscene
material.
Undesirable Content: Certain types of content are not
permitted on our network. We do not host pornographic
content of any description, unless your plan comes with this
feature, or you selected adult content as an option.. We
reserve the right to determine what constitutes pornographic
content and what does not (see adult sites below). Content
relating to Hacking, Cracking, Warez and IRC is not allowed.
Software downloads may only be hosted if you are the writer
and copyright owner of the software, all other software
including freeware, shareware and trial software is
forbidden. The sale of resalable eBooks is ok.
Bulk
Email: The use of our network to send bulk email whether
opt-in or otherwise, and the use of bulk email to promote a
site on our network is strictly forbidden. As a guideline,
we consider sending over 200 emails at once, and over 2,000
a day, as bulk email.
Free web hosting: We do not allow resellers
to offer free web hosting to the general public on our
shared servers. If you wish to offer free web hosting, we
recommend ordering a dedicated server.
Misuse
Of Resources: Including but not limited to employing
applications which consume excessive CPU time, memory or
storage space. Chat/IRC, web proxy and mailing list scripts
are not allowed on our network under any circumstances.
Streaming media, audio, video and shout cast can be a drain
on web server resources and as such is not allowed. CGI
based message forums which use flat file databases are often
found to use excessive system resources, to avoid
disappointment please use a PHP message forum. The use of
web cam applications which maintain a constant FTP
connection uploading an image at regular intervals is
forbidden.
Password
Protected Directories: Using password protected directories
to conduct illegal activities is strictly prohibited. Sites
that use password protected directories where their use is
not clear are subject to suspension while we investigate the
legality of the hidden content.
If you
are unsure about content you intend to place on our network,
please check with us before you do. We reserve the right to
determine what constitutes acceptable use.
Our
Acceptable Use Policy
must be followed by all end users and resellers.
Remember, YOU are responsible for YOUR Customers.
Download Files
Collections of download files are not permitted on shared
servers because they slow the server down. A reasonable
amount of download files can be permitted if you keep the
file size under 2000 k.
Adult Sites
Adult
commercial sites are not permitted on our standard hosting
servers.
Adult and pornographic media is only permitted on our
servers that allow adult content.
Pornographic media sites
MUST have
a disclaimer page, and only sites with LEGAL content are
allowed. No underage models or children. If your site is not
hosted on one of our adult hosting servers, you site may
be suspended or terminated..
FFMPEG and Video Streaming
We
will allow Video Streaming sites and even sites that
requires FFMPEG to run, but you are responsible for the
content of the site. No illegal use of copyrighted
materials are allowed.
Video Streaming or FFMPEG is only allowed if your site is
FFMPEG enabled.
Hosting Account Cancellation
You may
cancel your account within 30 days of opening the account for
a full refund, excluding add-ons, overages, domain names,
etc. for a full refund, if your account was not suspended
due to breaking any of our policies. After 30 days, you may
cancel at anytime with a 2 day notice. If you prepaid 1 year
to save money, but for some reason need to cancel your
service early, then your contract will revert to a
month-to-month contract and we will refund the difference
between the 1 year prepay rate and the rate had you signed
up for month to month service from the beginning. Any
partial month will not be refundable. Canceling your PayPal
or 2CheckOut subscription may result in immediate
cancellation of your hosting account regardless of any
remaining time left that you have pre-paid for. Be sure that
you have copies of your web files before you cancel your
hosting. Please see our Acceptable Use Policy / TOS for
further information.
Data Back-Up
Although
regular remote back-ups will be performed (some servers have
local backups), We will not be held responsible for any loss
of data. It is up to the hosting account to ensure you
maintain a local copy of your web data for your own back-up
purposes.
Forum Posts & Reviews
We have
a zero tolerance policy for posting negative feedback on any
public forum or review site about our company and/or our
employees before submitting a ticket to our 'Feedback'
department to discuss your issue will result in immediate
account termination without any refund. Although it is your
right to post feedback without discussing your issue with us
first, it is undoubtedly unfair and unprofessional not to,
which is not the type of client we want to deal with. We
have the utmost respect for all of our clients, and are more
than fair with all of our clients. We will do anything and
everything possible to keep all of our clients satisfied.
But in the unlikely event you are not satisfied, all that we
ask is to discuss your issue with our Feedback department
first. So if you are the type of person to run to the forums
or review site at the first chance you get to complain,
please do not sign up with us.
All
Resellers and customers are expected to follow our
Acceptable Use Policy - Please read it
