Password Protected Directories: Using password protected directories to conduct illegal activities is strictly prohibited. Sites that use password protected directories where their use is not clear are subject to suspension while we investigate the legality of the hidden content.

Download Files: Collections of download files are not permited on shared web servers because they slow the server down. A reasonable amount of download files can be permitted if you keep the file size under 2000 k . Download files must be hosted on our download server.

Pornographic Media: Pornographic media is not permitted. Adult commercial sites are however, permitted including: lingerie sales, adult toy e-commerce sites, Viagra sales, adult health and sexuality, and similar if all models are over 18 are permitted.

Our web servers may not be used to provide proxy servers (or paid to click). All content stored on a reseller account must be directly used on the Internet by the website associated with that account. These accounts may not be used as a download distribution point for your software or media. They are to be used for standard web practices only. This means that all content stored on an unlimited account must be used for "acceptable" website use. “Unacceptable” usage is anything that a shared server would not be able to provide under standard circumstances and uses a high percentage of CPU or Memory (10%+) usage.

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