Server Abuse

Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of Hostacus.net shared hosting services is strictly prohibited. Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers. Hostacus.net shared hosting services will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts include "Internet scamming" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery, security hole scanning etc.

Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a Hostacus.net shared hosting services customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to Hostacus.net shared hosting services, will result in action against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Hostacus.net shared hosting services has the right to discontinue service, or deny access to anyone who violates our Policies or the terms and conditions shown below WITHOUT WARNING OR PRIOR NOTICE. No refunds of fees paid will be made if account termination is due to violation of the terms outlined below.

Shared server accounts are limited in use of the amount of server resources. Shared server resource abuse includes any process or service usage that affects normal shared server operation, resources or connectivity, and which causes a server to become overloaded. Shared server resources include CPU and memory usage, number of concurrent processes, number of concurrent port or database connections and total bandwidth. Possible causes of server resource abuse include, but are not limited to, the improper use of: CGI, Perl, Sendmail, mySQL, PHP, COLDFUSION, HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP. Any account using 10% or more system resources (CPU & Memory) for longer than 30 second intervals will be flagged and reviewed. Accounts using continuous excessive resource usage will be sent notification to correct the problem. After 3rd notice we may suspend or terminate the account without notice.

Customers may not run IRC, bots or clients on shared servers. Unacceptable uses also include, but are NOT limited to: Bulk emailing, unsolicited emailings, newsgroup spamming, illegal content, copyright infringement, trademark infringement, warez, cracks, software serial numbers, and/or anything else determined by Hostacus.net shared hosting services to be unacceptable use of Hostacus.net shared hosting services services including abuse of server resources. We do not tolerate violations and attempted violations of system and network. We do not allow mini download sites, warez sites, or proxy sites.

Shared hosting accounts may be terminated that include the following content or which have links to the following content: Providing material that is grossly offensive to the shared hosting community including blatant expressions of bigotry, racism, hatred, or profanity Promoting or providing instructional information about illegal activities, or promoting physical harm or injury against any group or individual Displaying material containing obscene nudity or pornographic material, unless you have adult-content enabled (see adult sites below) Displaying material that exploits children under 18 years of age Acts of copyright infringement including offering pirated computer programs or links to such programs, information used to circumvent manufacturer-installed copy-protect devices, including serial or registration numbers for software programs, or any type of cracker utilities.

Inode Usage
Excessive inode usage is deemed to be a potential harm to the servers. To maintain the quality of our servers, we have implemented the following inode usage formula:
Individual shared accounts: A total of 25,000 inodes are allowed per individual account.
Reseller accounts: A total of 500,000 inodes are allowed per reseller account.
Master reseller accounts: A total of 1,000,000 inodes are allowed per master reseller account.

The use of more than the above stated amounts per account may potentially result in suspension, termination, flagged for review, and/or given an option of adding to their account. Accounts found to be exceeding their limits will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over usage. Every file (a shared hostingpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.

Simply exceeding the limit does not constitute grounds for suspension however accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis or causing file system damage may cause your account to be suspended, terminated, or flagged for review.

The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose "Mail", then "Default Address", "Set Default Address", and then type in: :fail: No such user here
 

Abuse of Unlimited Features

For those that do not qualify for the unmetered/unlimited service, traffic will go unmonitored until you reach the amount of quota allocated to your specific shared hosting hosting plan. Thereafter, you will be charged for any overages accordingly. You are responsible for keeping track of your overage for disk space and bandwidth. You can check your disk space and bandwidth within whm or cpanel. Bandwidth is charged at $5 per 3 GB minimum, and disk space is charged at $5 per 1,000 MB minimum, over your package at the end of the billing cycle if you have exceeded your allocation. If you see you will be exceeding your allotted space or bandwidth it may be more beneficial to upgrade to another plan.

You will have 3 days to pay for your overages. If you do not pay for your overages your site will be disabled within 3 days of your first notice.

Hostacus.net shared hosting services will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision

Email - READ CAREFULLY

All Unsolicited Bulk Email or "UBE", email which is both unsolicited and bulk, is hereby defined in this AUP as spam. Unsolicited means the recipient did not give verifiable, deliberate, explicit, and revocable permission for the message to be sent. Bulk means the message was sent to multiple recipients with substantively identical content and, therefore, the recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the email is equally applicable to multiple recipients. Spam is an issue of consent, not content. No other definition of spam including, without limitation, Title 15 USC Chapter 103 Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing § 7702 et. al or "CAN-SPAM Act" applies to the definition of spam as used in this AUP. Please be aware that if we receive excessive amounts of abuse notices concerning SPAM, we may levy an administrative fee of not less than $25 per incident. ***NOTE: We depend on our clients assistance in SPAM issues. Please note that failure to respond to a SPAM notice within 24 hours, may result in service interruption and a $75.00 reactivation fee. We require DOUBLE opt-in mailing lists obtained through a closed-loop opt-in process, as defined in our AUP and at http://www.spamhaus.org/mailinglists.html - DOUBLE OPT-IN Procedure as explained here: http://nct.digitalriver.com/ecm/doihowto/

Bulk Email

We understand that bulk email is an important mechanism for keeping people informed. However, spamming (unsolicited advertising), from the Hostacus.net network, or spamvertising (unsolicited advertising of) sites hosted on the Hostacus.net network is STRICTLY prohibited.

Legitimate bulk email meets the following criteria:

1) The recipient has confirmed his willingness to be added to the distribution list of the mailing, by responding to a verification email, or, otherwise, verifiably confirming permission. (Evidence of such must be retained and available by request.)

2) Messages include: Valid headers, removal instructions, and information on the method by which the subscribed address was obtained.

All bulk email senders must post privacy policies, in association with the sending domains. Co-registration is not prohibited, but explanations of the sharing of information must be both publicly available and included in the confirmation mechanism for list subscription.

If Hostacus.net approaches a client for evidence of confirmation, this request must be honored within 24 hours.

Failure to meet the acceptable criteria for bulk mail may lead to immediate termination.

Additionally, if such actions have caused mail servers or IP address ranges on the Hostacus.net network to be blacklisted, Hostacus.net reserves the right to assess a $150 charge to the customer account. This fee is set to cover administrative costs associated with removal from such lists.

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. Large mailings are preferred to be sent from the hours of 12AM - 8AM EST.

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).
 

Adult Sites

Adult commercial sites are permitted including: lingerie sales, adult toy e-commerce sites, Viagra sales, adult health and sexuality, and similar if all models are over 18. Pornographic media is only permitted if your site is adult content enabled. Pornographic media sites MUST have a disclaimer page, and only sites with LEGAL content are allowed. No underage models or children.

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.

CGI Scripts

Each shared shared hosting hosting 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 shared server operation without prior warning.
 

Chat Rooms

We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms within a shared hosting account, without approving it with the Hostacus.net shared hosting services sales department. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. However, we could accommodate Java chat rooms with approval which should more than fill your needs and run without hindering the performance of the machine for others. Note: Parachat chat rooms do not apply to this rule. They are perfectly fine to install.
 

Abuse of SMTP Mail Server

We do not allow clients to send more than 200 pieces of e-mail per hour, and no more than  2000 pieces of e-mail per day from a shared hosting account. If you do send more than 2000 pieces of e-mail per day, your account will be placed on hold for Network Abuse. If you are sending legitimate e-mails and they total more than 2000 per day your account will be moved to a special server that is specifically designed to handle high volumes of e-mail. You will be charged $150.00/month in addition to your regular hosting charges if your account is moved to this server. Please contact support to have your domain moved.
 

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.

If you prepay 3 months, 6 months, or 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 3 months, 6 months, 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.

Cancellation requests after the first 30 days of service must be received at least two (2) days prior to your "monthly" renewal date.
