Hosting your Web site (web space) Acceptable use policy

The acceptable use policy is actively and strictly enforced. Although we will always inform you when and why any action has been taken, offending content / sites or users are removed from our network, usually immediately they are discovered.

The best guide as to what is considered acceptable use as a starting point is common sense. Here are some of the major unacceptable uses however:

Illegality
In any form, including but not limited to the unauthorised distribution or copying of copyrighted software or other data, harassment, fraud, or trafficking in obscene material.

Undesirable Content
Certain types of content are not permitted on our network. We do not host adult content of any description. Content relating to Hacking, Cracking, Warez and IRC is not allowed. Software downloads may only be hosted if you are the writer and copyright owner of the software, all other software including freeware, shareware and trial software is forbidden. Audio and video downloads may only be hosted if you are the creator and copyright owner of the work.

Bulk Email
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.

Misuse Of Resources
Including but not limited to employing applications which consume excessive CPU time, memory or storage space. These include the following (although not exhaustive) list:

Chat/IRC, web proxy and mailing list scripts are not allowed on our network under any circumstances.

The use of web cam applications which maintain a constant FTP connection uploading an image at regular intervals is forbidden.

Streaming media can be a drain on web server resources and as such is not allowed.

CGI based message forums which use flat file databases are often found to use excessive system resources, to avoid disappointment please use a PHP/ASP message forum.

Please note!

If you are at all unsure about content you intend to place on our network, please check with us before you do so. We reserve the right to determine what constitutes acceptable use.
