Check the applicable Service Description for more information.

You acknowledge that unless you subscribe to a Hosting Service that expressly includes the independent backup of Your Content (as defined below) as a service, Net Endeavours’s backup activities are primarily for Net Endeavours’s own disaster recovery purposes, and that YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STORAGE, BACKUP AND ARCHIVING OF YOUR CONTENT. Also note, Hosting Services include access to one or more tools via your Control Panel that allow you to backup Your Content. Please use these tools and backup Your Content frequently. Net Endeavours Automated Website Backup is an optional service available for an additional fee or which may be included for no charge in some Hosting Services that will automatically backup Your Content on an ongoing basis for your convenience.

If the cost of registering or renewing a single domain name for one year is included in the annual Fees that you are being charged for a Hosting Service (see the applicable Service Description to find out if it is included and the eligible types of domain names) and the domain name that you wish to register or renew for use with the website being hosted is both an eligible type of domain name and available, Net Endeavours will register or renew (as applicable) the domain name for you.

For each such domain name registered Net Endeavours’s involvement ends with the registration. You will be the registrant, administrative contact and technical contact, and you agree to be bound by all applicable terms and conditions published by the applicable registrar (http://www.opensrs.com/docs/contracts/exhibita.htm; http://promopeople.com/terms-of-service.html).

Maintenance of Domain Names.You are responsible for the ongoing maintenance, control and use of any domain name registered in your name and for any fees or taxes associated with its maintenance. To maintain your domain name registration you will need to interact directly with the applicable registrar. FOR GREATER CLARITY, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR: (i) RENEWING THE REGISTRATION AND ENSURING THAT IT DOES NOT LAPSE; AND (ii) ADDRESSING ANY ISSUES RELATING TO YOUR DOMAIN NAME.

You acknowledge that the privacy service is provided by the applicable registrar, not Net Endeavours.
As is. Assistance with registering domain names and securing related privacy services is provided “as is” and without any warranties, representations or conditions whatsoever.
Domain Redemption Fee: If your domain was registered with Net Endeavours and has expired, but you wish to recover the domain, Net Endeavours may be able to recover the domain if it is still within the redemption period. To recover a domain name that has expired but which is still within the redemption period, Net Endeavours must pay a redemption fee, which in turn will be passed on to you the customer. Please note that this domain redemption fee does not include the registration price of the domain that will still need to be paid to register the domain for the next year. If the domain name is not renewed or acquired during the redemption period, it will be made available again to the general public after the redemption period completes. Only domains that have been registered with Net Endeavours can be re-registered after expiration of the domain. If the domain that has expired was registered at another company, you will need to contact that registrar to recover the domain from the redemption period.

If Net Endeavours is contacted directly by any such client, Net Endeavours may suspend all or part of the Services that it is providing to you. If Net Endeavours does so, Net Endeavours will give you notice of the suspension and the reason for the suspension. Once you have satisfied Net Endeavours that you have taken reasonable steps to inform your clients that they are to contact you for support and to ensure that you are providing that support, Net Endeavours will lift the suspension.

Usage Policy

This Usage Policy and accompanying definitions pertain to certain web hosting accounts that may be offered on our website that include “unmetered bandwidth”, “unmetered data transfer”, “unlimited disk space”, and / or “unlimited storage”.

DISK SPACE, STORAGE, BANDWIDTH, AND DATA TRANSFER
For certain Shared and WordPress web hosting plans there is no upward limit to the amount of disk space, storage, bandwidth, or data transfer a single customer may use with respect to their web hosting. Subject to these terms, Net Endeavours makes every reasonable commercial effort to provide its customers with the disk space, storage, bandwidth, and data transfer resources required for the normal operation of a website. Our goal is to provide the resources required for a typical website that may experience periods of growth resulting in increasing demands for resources (such as disk space, storage, bandwidth, or data transfer) without customers being subject to additional charges.

In order to ensure excellent performance for all websites on a server, customers must be fully compliant with our Terms of Service, and utilize disk space, storage, bandwidth, and data transfer in a manner consistent with the normal operation of a website. While rare, when performance on a server is compromised due to excessive demands by an individual website, we occasionally need to temporarily constrain accounts that are utilizing more server resources than should be the case in the normal operation of a small business website. For those accounts that are consistently making excessive demands above the normal operation of a website, including those that are not in compliance with our Terms of Service, we may suspend or terminate the account in question or ask that the customer adjust the web hosting plan they are currently on to one that better matches the needs of their website.

WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE AND APPROPRIATE USAGE?
Acceptable and appropriate usage is defined in two ways:

As outlined in Section 6 of our Terms of Service, which clearly describes unacceptable, disruptive, and forbidden uses of our Services.
As outlined in our Detailed Server Resource Usage Specification Chart, which clearly describes the technical limits of our Shared and WordPress hosting servers.
Websites utilizing server resources within these technical limits and in accordance with our Terms of Service are considered to be operating normally and using resources appropriately. In addition, we provide customers with the ability to easily monitor in real-time the level of server resources their website and account are using, and we are always available to help answer questions about how a website’s performance can be optimized.

Net Endeavours is continually investing in technology and support features. Our web hosting solutions have been specifically 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 hundreds of others on our servers in a shared community, our offerings are not intended to support enterprise level or large company requirements. This typically also includes eCommerce websites, high traffic websites that require greater server processing resources than a shared web hosting server can provide, and websites that have been configured improperly or have been extended with additional functionality causing higher server demands. For these types of websites, we may recommend migrating your account to higher performance services that provide dedicated server resources such as a virtual private server (VPS) plan.

To ensure that our hosting is reliable for all customers within a specific server community, we monitor our servers continuously in order to maintain optimal performance, and occasionally have to take preventative measures on individual websites or accounts where resource usage is adversely affecting the server’s performance. If your website is subject to these measures we will attempt to contact you to determine the potential cause for this excessive usage and highlight possible ways you that can make adjustments or changes to your website before we take any corrective actions.

Lastly, our web hosting service is intended for hosting websites, not for backing up or storing user data. Using your web hosting account primarily as an online storage space for archiving electronic files and images is strictly prohibited.

WHAT IS UNLIMITED?
Unlimited disk space and / or unlimited storage: Create a website as large as you like, hundreds or thousands of web pages and you will not be penalized for exceeding any upper limit. However, please realize that there are many other users on your server and growing a website too quickly may use excessive resources in a short period of time. If this happens, we may restrict certain resources to prevent other customers’ websites on that server from being adversely affected. The vast majority of our customers’ sites grow at rates well within our rules, however, and will not be impacted. Typically, customers only experience issues if they use their accounts for storage (for example large multimedia files) backup, computer backup, or file sharing. Our web hosting services are not intended to support these activities, and in accordance with our Terms of Service your disk space, storage, bandwidth, and data transfer usage must be exclusively for operating your website normally.
Unlimited websites: You can create as many websites as you want in your account.
Unlimited email accounts: You can create an unlimited number of email accounts or email addresses. However, please keep in mind that the “unlimited disk space” or “unlimited storage” of your hosting plan is intended for website files only. While email account creation is unlimited, these services rely on the file storage available on your account, so you must operate within the Terms of Service to ensure resources are available to fully enable email functionality.
Unlimited hosting space but excessive database files: On most Net Endeavours Shared and WordPress hosting plans we do not set limits on the amount of disk space, storage, bandwidth, or data transfer allowed for an individual customer account, nor do we charge additional fees based on an increased amount of usage, so long as you are compliant with our Terms of Service. However, Net Endeavours’s services are designed to host websites and as such we DO NOT provide unlimited space for backups or the archiving of electronic files, emails, documents, log files, etc., and such activity may result in the suspension or termination of your account without notice. Furthermore, accounts with an extraordinarily large number of files can have an adverse effect on server performance. This includes, but is not limited to, accounts with an excessive number of database file or an unreasonably large database size. Net Endeavours may request that the number of files/nodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance for all customers on that server, or we may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice.
Unlimited domain hosting: Most Net Endeavours Shared and WordPress hosting plans do not set an upper limit to the number of domains a customer can associate with their web hosting account.
WHAT IS UNMETERED?
Unmetered bandwidth and unmetered data transfer: Unmetered bandwidth and unmetered data transfer mean that we do not have defined limitations on the amount of bandwidth you can use or the amount of data you can transfer. These resources are “unmetered”, meaning you are not billed according to the amount of bandwidth used. You can use as much bandwidth and transfer as much data as you need to operate your website normally so long as you comply with our Terms of Service and your website’s resource requests do not negatively impact the performance of the server, including the other websites hosted on the server. If you use your web hosting solution resources appropriately, visitors to your website will be able to view and download as much content from your site as they wish.

For more information please refer to the acceptable use section of our Terms and Conditions.

Any website found to host child pornography or linking to child pornography will be suspended immediately without notice.

Other Prohibited Content.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates our Terms of Service or this AUP in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.

Unacceptable Resource Usage
You may not:

Use twenty-five percent (25%) or more of our system resources for longer than ninety (90) seconds at a time. Activities that could cause this excessive use, include but are not limited to: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc.
Run cron entries with intervals of less than fifteen (15) minutes.
Include the URL when using PHP include functions for including a local file. Instead of including ‘http://yourdomain.com/include.php’, use ‘include.php’ or ‘/home/username/public_html/include.php’.
Force html to handle server-side code (like php and shtml) to help reduce usage.
INODES.

The use of more than two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) inodes on any shared or reseller account may result in a warning, and if no action is taken to reduce the excessive use of inodes, your account may be suspended. If an account exceeds one hundred thousand (100,000) inodes it will be automatically removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage, however, databases will still be backed up as a courtesy in our sole discretion. Every file (i.e. a webpage, image file, email, etc.) on your account uses up one (1) inode.

User accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes is typically due to Users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past an acceptable amount of inodes. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail”, then “Default Address”, “Set Default Address”, and then type in: “:fail: No such user here”.

Databases.

Shared and reseller accounts may not run any database queries longer than fifteen (15) seconds. Shared or reseller cPanel accounts using more than five thousand (5,000) database tables or hosting a single database that is larger than five (5) gigabytes, or any number of databases that total more than ten (10) gigabytes in size may be reviewed and receive a warning after which the account’s databases may be excluded from Net Endeavours generated backups. All database tables should be indexed appropriately. High database usage may also impact CPU and RAM resource usage limits, as set forth in Section 15 of the General Terms of Service, which may result in the Subscriber’s cPanel account being flagged for review and/or suspension.

Zero Tolerance Spam Policy
We take a zero tolerance stance against the sending of unsolicited e-mail, bulk emailing, and spam. “Safe lists,” purchased lists, and selling of lists will be treated as spam. We may terminate the account of any User who sends out spam with or without notice.
Websites advertised via spam (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to, spam sent via fax, phone, postal mail, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any User account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated.
Net Endeavours reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary, any website, account, database, or other component that does not comply with our policies, or to make any such modifications in an emergency that we deem necessary at our sole discretion.
Net Endeavours reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a cleanup fee or any charges incurred for blacklist removal at our sole discretion.
Defamation Policy
Websites hosted on Net Endeavours’ servers in the U.S. are regulated by U.S. law. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, Net Endeavours’ policy is not to remove allegedly defamatory material from websites hosted on our servers unless the material has been found to be defamatory by a court, as evidenced by a court order. As a webhost, Net Endeavours is not a publisher of User content and we are not in a position to investigate the veracity of individual defamation claims. We rely on the legal system and the courts to determine whether or not material is indeed defamatory. In any case in which a court order indicates that material is defamatory, libelous, or slanderous in nature, we will disable access to the material. Similarly, in any case in which a U.S. court has placed an injunction against specified content or material being made available, we will comply and remove or disable access to the material in question.
