Our acceptable use policy ("AUP") is actively and strictly enforced. Offending content or users are removed from our network, usually as soon as they are discovered, although we will always inform you when and why any action has been taken.

Common sense is the best guide as to what is considered acceptable use, however the following are unacceptable uses.

Illegality

In any form, including but not limited to the unauthorised distribution or copying of copyrighted software or other data, harassment, fraud, or trafficking in obscene material.

Undesirable Content

Certain types of content are not permitted on our server. We do not host pornographic content, but may host websites containing adult content at our discretion.

Misuse Of Resources

Including but not limited to employing applications which consume excessive CPU time, memory or storage space. Chat/IRC, web proxy and mailing list scripts are not allowed on our network under any circumstances. Streaming media can be a drain on web server resources and as such must be approved by us in advance. CGI based message forums which use flat file databases are often found to use excessive system resources, to avoid disappointment please use a PHP/ASP message forum.

Refunds

Refunds cannot be given for domain names which have been registered or website hosting which has been activated. Refunds for other services may occasionally be offered at the discretion of the management.

Renewal of Website Hosting and Domain Names

Domain names and website hosting must be renewed by the date due to ensure continuity of your services.

You will be advised by e-mail one month before your website names and/or hosting are due for renewal. The e-mail will be sent to info@yourdomain unless we are given an alternative e-mail address. You will also be reminded by e-mail at regular intervals up until the renewal date. If we do not hear from you by the renewal date, we may, at our discretion, telephone you to confirm that you do not wish to make the renewal.

Failure to renew your website name(s) may result in your website name(s) becoming freely available to other people - at which point it is virtually impossible to get them back.

Failure to renew your website or e-mail hosting may result in your website going 'offline' and your e-mail facility not working. A charge may be levied to reinstate your website and e-mail services. The amount of this charge is given on your renewal invoice.
