By
Participating in our hosting program owned by: vPro Servers (vProservers.Com)
You agree to all terms of service outlined below:
SPAMMING IS NOT PERMITTED
Do not advertise or put our link on any site that is promoted in
any way related to unsolicited email, ICQ or IRC spams, or newsgroup
postings. Opt-in email newsletters require pre-approval. If we receive
spam complaints, your link will be disabled, your account will be
terminated
immediately, and we will take LEGAL ACTION against
you. Please be aware, MRG lists are not acceptable, as well as,
any other program that hides the sender email address. We terminate
sites without notification when any of these types of programs are
discovered.
ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
Any website or website content that implies or attempts to defraud
a user in anyway will be terminated upon first sight. There will
be no warnings and there will be no emails sent to the abuser
or those attempting to defraud. If you are looking to host your
site at vProServers.Com for the sole purpose of defrauding people
of their personal information, credit card information or any other
personal information that can be used for gain of any type, your
site will be copied, terminated and your files will be sent to those
from whom will take further measures along with your information
collected at signup.
BULK E-MAIL
We also monitor "Bulk E-mail". While cpanel has a mailing list program
installed, any mailing over 2500 messages must be pre-approved.
In addition, any site sending over 5000 messages per month will
be considered "Bulk". Bulk e-mail ties up the mail que and delays
messages for other users. Therefore, we must limit the amount of
use on any shared servers only. There are some arrangements that
can be made to accomodate a user with a large list which includes
extra fees and special mail scheduling software. Please be aware
that posting to Free for All web pages could generate "bulk email"
from autoresponders of the FFA list users you have posted to. We
may need to take action if these autoresponders are spamming the
server and causing the mail que too many delays.
ALLOWED SITES
Your site must be legal in representation and abide by all laws
within the United States of America.
Although we do not monitor the content of all sites
all of the time, we will not host websites that have pornographic
material, illegal products, software cracks, warez, extremely offensive,
or illegal content, or link to websites that have illegal content.
The website cannot attempt to download any virus
or malicious or annoying files when opened. IRC bots, programs,
or networks of anykind are not allowed. If an IRC program is discovered,
immediate termination will result without warning. The following
processes are illegal on our servers and will be killed automatically:
BitchX, bnc, eggdrop, guardservices, ircd, psyBNC, ptlink, services.
Websites with processes that consume or take the server load to
an unmanageable level will have that process terminated immediately
- this includes the use of VI Edit or VIM. If these processes continue
to operate or cannot be found after termination of process will
result in the website(s) being disabled and/or terminated from the
server. Please use PICO for file edits. Accounts granted SSH access
that are found to have processes running in this same manner will
have SSH access deactivated for a minimum of 6 months.
THE PROGRAM'S RIGHTS
We reserve the right, at our request, to see all referring pages
and servers logs if neccessary. If illegal content is discovered,
upon request, we will turn over all site related documents, files
and logs to the proper authorities. We reserve the right to terminate
webmasters without payment who make derogitory comments about the
program or employees of vProServers.Com; We reserve the right to
suspend or terminate at will for non-payment. Sites suspended for
non-payment wishing to become unsuspended, may be required to pay
for an entire year in advance to leave suspended status and must
pay a $10.00 re-activation fee, per incident. In addition, all back
monies due, must be collected before activation. We reserve the
right to terminate sites without notification when any of these
types of programs or issues are discovered.
ANNUAL HOSTING PACKAGES
Annual Hosting- vProServers.Com hosting plans are set to give our
users the most useful tools available to manage the accounts. Standard
set up is for monthly pay plans.
Hosting plans that are paid annually are heavily discounted. The
discounts warrant vProServers.Com to require a 12 month term agreement
to cover the discounted annually hosting fees. When a discounted
annual hosting plan is ordered, the user agrees to a term of 12
months of hosting with the vProServers.Com Web Hosting Network.
NETWORK FAILURES AND ACTS OF GOD
The program shall not be responsible for any delay or failure to
perform due to internet and equipment failures and/or other acts
outside of our reasonable control.
NETWORK AND HARDWARD UPDATES
Within time, we reserve the right to upgrade our network and hardware
when industry standards require. These upgrades will be announce
no later than 12 hours before any expected system outages. These
outages are not covered in our SLA for 99.5% uptime due to the outage
