free hosting rules
- Be respectful. To me and to other hostees. I will not tolerate any form of abuse and you will immediately be terminated if this occurs.
- I will not code your layout for you – but if you are having problems, depending if I have time, I will most certainly be able to help you
- Please ensure that all scripts that you intend on using are up-to-date.
- Paid advertisements will be allowed however you need to notify me first.
- You have your own responsibility to back up your files regularly.
- Domain hostees must already have purchased their own domain. I will not buy the domain for you but I can purchase it on your behalf.
- The site must be free of illegal/licensed, warez and/or any other materials considered against the law. I will not take the fall for anyone. This includes but is not limited to mp3s, video files, scans and more. You MAY link to mp3 files uploaded elsewhere.
- Hosting MAY NOT be used as a storage site. I will be checking regularly for site activity etc. Please update at least once every 2 months.
- If you are going on hiatus, please notify me and state the reason why and how long you think it will take.
- On the hosting application, please check ‘no’ in have you read the rules and will follow them (obviously, you will xD)
- Sites MUST be in English and please, refrain from typing LiKE tHiS because it’s really hard to read. Also, try to use correct grammar.
- You must get your site up within 4 weeks (even if it’s just a banner saying ‘coming soon’). If not, please contact me and we’ll work something out. I know life can be hectic sometimes!
Providing hosting on free hosting
- Subdomain hostees are not allowed to host other people.
- Domain hostees, you may, but it may not be the main focus of your site. Also remember they will be using your space and bandwidth. They must also follow the rules, or you will take the fall for them.
- If you intend to offer hosting and wish that your hostees to link back, they must link back to me.
Paid hosting rules
1. Down time and data loss
In a perfect world, there would be 100% uptime and no possible chance of data loss. However, this is not possible. While I take great measures in reducing the chance of these occuring (by choosing a reputable VPS provider and having daily back ups) it is highly recommend and your responsibility to back up your site on a regular basis. We take no resposibility for any data loss or down time.
2. Member conduct
You agree to not use the service to:
- upload, post or transmit any illegal data, that is harmful, threatening, abusive, vulgar, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.
- impersonate any person or entity.
- upload any illegal/licensed, warez and/or any other materials considered against the law. This includes but is not limited to: copyrighted mp3s, videos, images etc.
- no pornography
3. Free Hosting
As Three-Words already provides free hosting, it would be pointless to allow another reseller hosted here to provide free hosting. Therefore, paid resellers are not allowed to offer free hosting unless you get permission from me.
What I will not host
- IRC/IRC egg drops or bots
- Mail bombers
- IP spoofers
- Port scanners
- Video & Game hosting/streaming (excluding Flash & Java Games) (third party streaming is permitted)
- Adult Material (Pornographic and/or obscene content)
- Illegal distributing and/or advertising of copyrighted material
- Warez/Nulled Content
- Websites designed specifically for downloads
- Offensive, racist sites
Termination
By not abiding any of the rules, you will be terminated. I will give you three warnings, and on the fourth warning, your account will be suspended. I will give you 1 week’s notice before deleting the site, which will provide you enough time to backup your files. Also, on rare occasions, I simply no longer wish to host someone. This is not a negotiable situation.
