Server abuse
Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server, or customer, of ours is strictly
prohibited.
Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers
We 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 customer, whether or not the attacked account
or computer belongs to us, 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.
Abuse of Unlimited Traffic and/or Unlimited Storage
Our customers are privileged to be offered unlimited traffic and/or unlimited storage for their
web sites. The intention is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an offsite
storage area for electronic files. All (90%) of your web pages (html) must be 'linked' with
files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored on our server. Web sites that are found to contain either/or
no html documents, a large number of unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension
or cancellation at the discretion of our management. Any customer who violates our Policies
in abusing either space/site transfer will be notified and given 2 days to remedy the problem.
If the problem is not resolved within the alloted 2 day period, the client will be billed
for the overages.
To maintain the integrity of our service the following limitations apply:
- Sites with Banners, graphics or cgi scripts running from their domain used on other domains.
- Sites with picture galleries (This is any site where 50% of the files transferred is graphics)
- Sites offering download files or archives. (This is any site where 50% or more of there monthly
traffic is from file downloads)
- Sites using more than 15% of system resources
For those that do not qualify for the unlimited service, traffic will go unmonitored until you
reach 1000 MB per month. Thereafter, your account will be shut down.
We will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision
Commercial advertisements with e-mail
Unsolicited commercial advertisements are not allowed in e-mail, 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.
Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms, without approving it with the Support
Team. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option.
However, we do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge that will 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.
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 currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

lawful purpose. Transmission of any material in violation of any Federal, State or
Local regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to copyrighted material,

designation of any materials as such described above is left entirely to the discretion of our
management.
