Acceptable Usage Policy

As a high-quality web hosting provider to thousands of customers

Acceptable Usage Policy

As a high-quality web hosting provider to thousands of customers, economicalhost values its good reputation. Accordingly, it is important to us that our customers use our services and the Internet in general, responsibly and courteously. Most of our customers do so and seldom need to refer to these AUPs. Nonetheless, the following constitute examples of unacceptable uses of economicalhost's services, which will result in suspension, or termination of the customer's account.

Affronts to Etiquette

Unacceptable activities include spamming (sending unsolicited advertising to those with which the customer has no existing business relationship, posting off-topic advertising in newsgroups); spoofing (using a return email address which is not the valid reply address of the sender or sending an email message which does not contain enough information to enable the recipient to identify the party who is really sending the message; passive spamming (promoting a web site hosted by economicalhost by spamming from some other source), trolling (posting controversial messages in newsgroups to generate responses), mailbombing (inundating a user with email without any serious intent to correspond), generating a higher volume of outgoing mail than a normal user (over 10% of available system resources), and subscribing someone else to an electronic mailing list without that person's permission. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or sent to a recipient who has not requested the message. Making an email address available to the public does not constitute a request to receive messages. Distribution of mass emailing programs is also prohibited. All recipients on a mailing list must have personally subscribed.

Mailing lists may not be used to distributed unsolicited email. Any customer repeatedly "mailbombed" or that attracts such behavior will be asked to leave and charged a sum of $3000 equivalent as the same amount under the agreement with our datacenter will be payable by us to them. If you are not sure if your actions will be in violation, please ask first (abuse@economicalhost.com).

Bulk Mailing

We do not allow bulk mail to be sent from our mail servers and we do not support the automated sending of email (eg. web forms or transactional receipts). We consider bulk mail to be mail of identical or similar content sent to 5 or more addresses external to the Economicalhost network. This also includes the sending of the same or similar message more than 5 times to a single external email address (eg. a monitoring alert system). Breaking up mass mailings and sending them in smaller batches to intentionally avoid this restriction is also a violation of the AUP.

Repeated bulk mail attempts from the same user may result in the disabling of their mailbox. Extreme levels of abuse may result in the termination of email hosting services for the entire sending domain in accordance with our Acceptable Use Policy and Master Services Agreement

To remedy this issue, please inform your user that the sending of bulk mail through our regular email hosting service is not permitted regardless of the contents or recipient opt-in status. If your user is not sending these messages, their account is likely compromised and you should encourage them to choose stronger passwords which contain upper and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. If the mailing was automated such as an alert system, web form, or other transactional type mail please note that we do not provide technical support for this use.

Age

The client must be 18 years of age to obtain our service.

Abuse of the legal rights of others

Examples of unacceptable activities in this regard include posting private information about a person without their consent, infringing intellectual property rights, defaming a person or business, and knowingly making available code which will have a deleterious effect on third party computers. economicalhost supports free speech on the Internet, and will not suspend or cancel a customer's account simply because it disagrees with the views expressed by the customer. Where there are allegations that a customer's on-line activity has violated the legal rights of a third party, economicalhost will not substitute itself for a court of law in deciding tort claims raised by the third party.

Abuse of Economicalhost's Server Resources

Running programs in the background on a economicalhost's server without economicalhost's prior written authorization, or running chat rooms, Internet Relay Chat, IRC bots, Greeting Cards sites, software downloading sites, more then 1000 emails a day and the like are not acceptable uses of economicalhost's servers. Further, any usage of ten percent (10%) or more of our system resources is an undue burden on our system and is unacceptable. If your usage ever exceeds ten percent (10%) of system resources, your account may be terminated immediately and without prior notice. In addition any domain that exceeds ten gigabytes of bandwidth traffic can be terminated without prior notice. economicalhost can set an additional domain name to be pointed to your site's IP address for Rs.5000 p.a setup fee. Usage of scripts or other utilities to direct pointed domain names to subdirectories is not permitted and is grounds for termination of the account.
Resources are defined as bandwidth, memory and/or CPU processor utilization. Economicalhost.com offers a shared web hosting, Virtual Private Servers and Reseller Hosting service in which environment customers shares the resources with other customer’s which are hosted on the same host machine, therefore it is imperative that Economicalhost.com needs to control any excessive usage of resources by the customers so that they do not effect or disrupt the service quality of other customers who are on the same host machine and using the same resources. A website is considered using “Excessive amounts of resources” when it monopolies the resources available using 10% or more of system resources for longer than 60 seconds. There can be numerous reasons that could cause or lead to such problems, including but not limited to: cgi scripts, PHP scripts, FTP, HTTP, Open Source Code etc. Any site that consumes over the account limit of bandwidth or CPU usage or Memory usage is considered an “excessive resource” user. In the event of excessive resource usage Economicalhost.com may act in the following manner: if the excessive usage may cause a disruption of service to any other customer, Economicalhost.com may suspend that customer's account prior to notify that customer, Economicalhost.com may also contact the excessive usage Customer prior to taking any action if Economicalhost.com feels that the excessive usage will not interfere with the service of any other customer. Client suspensions prior to notification by Economicalhost.com is rare and is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers and functioning of other clients websites on the same host machine. The client whom is using “excessive resources” may be asked to upgrade his/her package to one of our dedicated server packages or cloud server to reduce their excessive usage utilization in the future or incase they are using old and exploitable open source code or scripts which can be compromised then the clients are asked to update their scripts and till the time the scripts are updated economicalhost.com can restrict the access of its client and further restrict the visitors access to the websites of its clients hosted on the said host machine to safe guard its business interest, network and other clients hosted on the same host machine whose accounts also become vulnerable due to working of such exploitable or load causing scripts. Economicalhost.com technicians will be the sole and final arbiter/decision makers to ascertain if the updated scripts are good and will not result in any further possible exploitation of the host machine. Economicalhost.com will be the sole and final arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this policy. Further when we say guaranteed uptime [99.9% or 100% uptime] it means Network Uptime and not Server uptime as server uptime is dependent on various factors and we do not offer any uptime guarantee for servers.

Hacking/Cracking

Economicalhost reserves the right to report illegal activities to any and all regulatory, administrative, and/or governmental authorities for prosecution.
