Illegal Use
Netstarhost servers may be
used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or distribution of
any information, data, or material in violation of any applicable law or
regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted
material; trademarks; trade secrets or other intellectual property rights
used without proper authorization; material that is obscene, defamatory,
constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Examples of
unacceptable content or links include: pirated software, hacker programs or
archives, Warez sites, MP3, and IRC bots.
Adult Content
Due to the special system
and network requirements of adult-oriented sites, pornography and
sex-related merchandising are prohibited. This includes sites that may
infer sexual content or provide links to adult content elsewhere. This is
also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may
be damaging to our servers or any other server on the Internet, or provide
links to such sites.
Security
Violations of system or
network security are prohibited and may result in criminal and civil
liability. Examples include but are not limited to the following:
unauthorized access, use, probing, or scanning of systems security or
authentication measures, data, or traffic; interference with service to any
user, host, or network including, without limitation, mail bombing,
flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system, broadcast attacks;
forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information
in an email or a newsgroup posting.
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 the option to either pay
additional fees (which will depend on the resources required), reduce the
resources used to an acceptable level, or upgrade its service to a
Dedicated Server plan. Netstarhost shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered
to be a high server usage level.
All shared web hosting
accounts come with a limit of 5,000 files per account. Each block of 5,000
files after the initial 5,000 will incur an additional charge of
$9.95/month.
Any web hosting account
deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity
will be shut down without prior notice.
CGI Scripts*
CGI script sharing with
domains not hosted by Netstarhost is not permitted. Any CGI-scripts deemed
to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be
shut down without prior notice.
Chat Rooms*
Netstarhost does not allow
customers to install their own chat rooms. Chat rooms tend to require
significant system resources and therefore cannot be permitted as an
account option. However, for a small charge, Netstarhost provides Java chat
rooms that meet most users' needs and run without hindering system
performance.
Background Running Programs and Cron Jobs*
Netstarhost may allow
programs to run in the background. These programs will be considered on an
individual basis and customers will incur extra charges based on system
resources used and operational maintenance needed. If you wish to run
background programs please contact Netstarhost at support@Netstarhost.com
so that we can arrange set-up.
IRC
Netstarhost does not allow
IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
UCE (Unsolicited Commerce Email) - SPAM
Spamming, the sending of
unsolicited mass email from or through a Netstarhost server or using an
email address that is maintained on a Netstarhost machine is STRICTLY
prohibited. Netstarhost will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a
violation of this provision. Customers are also in violation of this
provision if they engage in spamming using the service of another ISP or
IPP, but channel activities through a Netstarhost server as a mail drop for
responses. Violators will be assessed a minimum fine of $200 and will face
immediate suspension.
Server Abuse
Any attempts to undermine
or cause harm to a Netstarhost server or customer are strictly prohibited.
Software Distribution*
Netstarhost shared web
hosting accounts are not configured for the purposes of distributing
software and/or multimedia products. If you wish to distribute software
and/or multimedia files, please contact sales@Netstarhost.com to make
special arrangements.
Multimedia Files*
Multimedia files are
defined as any graphics, audio, and video files. Netstarhost shared web
hosting accounts are not to be used for the purposes of distributing and
storing unusual amounts of multimedia files. Any web site whose disk space
usage for storing multimedia files exceeds 70% of its total usage, in terms
of total size or number of files, will be considered to be using an unusual
amount of multimedia files.
Databases*
Any database stored on
Netstarhost servers shall be limited in size to 10% of the total disk space
allotted for that particular domain's plan/web hosting account.
