ABUSE of TRAFFIC and BANDWIDTH:
To maintain the integrity of our service the following limitations apply:
Any web site using more than 30% of system resources for longer than 60 seconds will be asked to revise their web site immediately and/or remove any content, downloads, images, software, scripts, video or anything causing overusage of our resources.
HostingRevolution.com will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of the above provision.
UNSOLICITED EMAIL (SPAM):
If you do not spam, then you have no worries.
Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in email and will likely result in account suspension or cancellation. Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists. Inappropriate posting may result in account suspension or cancellation. See the newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated as such. Sending a message, especially an advertisement, to more than five or six recipients, is by itself spamming unless the individuals have specifically requested to be added to a mailing list on that topic. E-mail is a person-to-person medium, not a broadcast medium. Upon your first Spam offense your account will be disabled for up to 72 hours. Upon your second Spam offense your domain may be terminated without refund, and you may be fined up to $200.00 per sent Spam.
Please note that if you are reported for spam it is our option to waive all of the above guidelines and cancel your account immediately without notice or refund. Spam is a very serious issue and we address it as such.
If you do not spam, then you have no worries.
CGI Scripts:
Each account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effects normal server operation without prior warning.
ABUSE of SMTP and MAIL SERVER:
We do not allow clients to send more than 3000 pieces of e-mail per day. If you are sending legitimate e-mails and they total more than 3000 per day we can mover your account to a special server that is specifically designed to handle high volumes of e-mail.
Please CONTACT US to have your domain moved or for any futher inquiries.
Your personal hosting account should not be used as a "mass mail junk box". This does not mean you cannot use it for a few safelists, FFA's etc, but do not overburden the servers by using email accounts for all your safelist, FFA or other various incoming bulk mail. There are special services on the Internet just for safelist and/or Junkmail, please use those services if this is your intention for your hosting account usage.
It is not fair to the other web sites on the server to be consistantly burdened by massive amounts of email slowing the queue. We want all our clients to be happy with the speed and reliability of our services and email servers. Mild and or moderate usage regarding this matter is permitted.
Background Running Programs:
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.
IRC:
We do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
PLEASE NOTE:
We reserve the right to decline any amount of refund when accounts are suspended or terminated because of Terms of Use violations.
