General Acceptable Use Policy
This AUP governs the use of HOSTINOR.com’s hosting service. Violation of this AUP may result in suspension or termination of your service. In the event of a dispute between you and HOSTINOR.com regarding the interpretation of this AUP, HOSTINOR.com’s interpretation, in its reasonable commercial judgment, shall govern.
The following is the entire Acceptable User Policy (“AUP”) agreement between HOSTINOR.com and the personal or corporate account holder. HOSTINOR.com provides managed web hosting and domain name service. HOSTINOR.com has certain legal and ethical responsibilities consisting with the use of its servers and equipment involved in these services. HOSTINOR.com’s general policy is to act as a provider of Internet presence. HOSTINOR.com reserves the rights to suspend or cancel a customer’s access to any or all services provided by HOSTINOR.com when we decide that the account has been inappropriately used.
What is the Appropriate Usage?
HOSTINOR.com web hosting solution has specifically been designed to serve the web hosting needs of small and independently owned and operated businesses and organizations throughout the world. Since you will be hosting your website with several other clients on our servers in a virtual community, our offerings are really not intended to support enterprise level or large company requirements. For that, we recommend purchasing at least a virtual private server, cloud or dedicated server solution.
HOSTINOR.com hosting is a shared web hosting service, which ultimately means a number of customers’ websites are hosted within the same server environment. To ensure that our hosting is first-class, reliable, and available to all customers within that server community, an individual customer’s website usage cannot adversely affect the performance of other customers’ sites. We monitor our servers 24/7/365 and in no way can one customer adversely affect the performance of that server. If this happens, we will take preventative measures to ensure that the entire community is protected.
Lastly, our web hosting service is intended to host websites, not backup or storage facility for users’ data. Using your web hosting account primarily as an online storage space for archiving electronic files and images is strictly prohibited. Our servers are for web hosting usage only.
