We value your business.
To offer you the best service possible, all customers need to follow the
same rules and guidelines. These policies are intended to make service
available to all our customers as consistently and efficiently as possible.
User-Supplied

All services may
be used for lawful purposes only. You may have access to chat areas, bulletin
boards, web pages, email, or other services that enable you to send or
post materials ("content") and make that content available to others. You
must not submit, publish, or display on the Network any defamatory, inaccurate,
abusive, obscene, infringing, or threatening content. In addition, you
may not submit, publish, or display any content that violates any US Federal,
State, or Local law. You are solely responsible for the content you make
accessible. You may not use the Service to assist any other person or entity
to violate any Federal, State, or Local laws, ordinances, or regulations.
You acknowledge that
if we are made aware of content that is determined to be, in its sole discretion,
unacceptable, undesirable, offensive, indecent, obscene, excessively violent
or otherwise objectionable, we have the right, to edit, remove or
deny access to such content. We may disclose any content or records concerning
customer's account as required to satisfy any law, regulation, governmental
request or court order.
Pornography and sex-related
merchandising are prohibited on servers. This includes sites that may infer
sexual content, display nudity, or link to adult content elsewhere. This
is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that
may be damaging to the servers or any other server on the Internet. Links
to such materials are also prohibited. In addition, any site selling or
promoting bulk email service is not allowed. Below are some examples of
non-acceptable content or links:
-
Adult Sites - Any erotic
or pornographic material, links to adult sites, or advertisements for adult
sites.

entities can result in civil and criminal liability for the infringer.

Includes sites with material, links, or resources for hacking, phreaking,
viruses, anarchy, or any type of site that promotes or participates in
willful harm to Internet sites or providers.
Network Security
Customers may not
use the servers to circumvent user authentication or security of any host,
network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data
not intended for the customer, logging into a server or account the customer
is not expressly authorized to access, password cracking, probing the security
of other networks in search of weakness, or violation of any other organization's
security policy. Customers may not attempt to interfere or deny service
to any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not limited to, flooding,
mail bombing, or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash a host
or network. We will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of
systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with
law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal
violations. Users who violate system or network security may incur criminal
or civil liability.
CGI Scripts
Each account comes
fully equipped with its own pre-configured CGI-Bin. Customers are free
to use any CGI-scripts provided with their account or add any additional
ones they require. Any CGI-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting the
server performance or the network integrity may be shut down without prior
notice. CGI-script sharing with domains not hosted by on our server is
not allowed.
Server Resources
Any web site that
uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to CPU
time, memory usage, and network resources) will be given an option of either
upgrading their service level or reducing the resource used to an acceptable
level.
Background Running
Programs
Background daemons
in general are prohibited. We will consider requests on a per-application
basis. If allowed, extra charges will be assessed based on resource requirements
for system maintenance.
IRC
IRC or IRC Bots
are prohibited.
Commercial
Advertising/ Mass Mailings
Our servers may not be the source,
intermediary, or destination address involved in the transmission of spam,
flames, or mail bombs. Your domain may not be referenced as originator,
intermediary, or reply-to address in any of the above. We consider spam
to be any unsolicited commercial email (UCE) or unsolicited bulk email
(UBE) in the mediums of Newsgroups, Email, and Fax.
This prohibition
extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service
that in any way implicates the use of the Network, equipment or any email
address or domain hosted on our server. A message is considered unsolicited
if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to
a recipient who has not requested or invited the message. For purposes
of this provision, merely making one's email address accessible to the
public will not constitute a request or invitation to receive messages.
If you are found
to have spammed, without warning, we reserve the right to disable your
domain. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel service to known spammers.
Lastly,we reserve the right to determine what violates this policy. As
such, any violation may result in cancellation of services without refund.
