    Traffic guidelines

  • Sub hosting - any domain housing additional users
  • Shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia archives
  • Mirror sites
  • Distribution points
  • Any site whose primary purpose is file distribution

    CGI Scripts
Each account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however, we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effects normal server operation.

    Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. These tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option. We do provide a choice of Java chat rooms for a small extra charge that will more than fill your needs and run without hindering the performance of the machine for others. You are limited to one chat room on your domain.

    Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one to one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

    IRC
We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

Our servers may not be the source, intermediary, or destination address involved in the transmission of spam, flames, or mail bombs. Your domain may not be referenced as originator, intermediary, or reply-to address in any of the above. Advertising sites on other servers which in turn contain links to a domain on our servers is prohibited. We consider spam any mass unsolicited message in the mediums of Newsgroups and Email. If you are found to have spammed, then we will immediately, without warning, disable your domain. In addition, we will impose a $100 penalty for each spam policy violation. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel service to known spammers. Lastly, we reserve the right to determine what violates this policy.
