Zero Tolerance Spam Policy

We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. “Safe lists”, purchased lists, and selling of lists will be treated as spam. Any user who sends out spam will have their account terminated with or without notice.

Sites advertised via SPAM (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to SPAM sent via fax, phone, postal mail, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. Any account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.

User may not:

1) Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.

2) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.

3) Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.

4) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.

5) Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.

6) Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities

7) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc

8) Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.

9) Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.

10) When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include(“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”) use include(“include.php”)

11) To help reduce usage, do not force html to handle server-side code (like php and shtml).

12) Only use https protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.

Any site using more than 1 gigs of disk space will be removed from our off site weekly backup with the exception of Databases continuing to be backed up. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive which helps protect against data loss in the event of a drive failure.
