Chapter Twenty One - Policies and Guidelines

OnTime Host.Com provides web hosting to many clients, and we have a responsibility to protect each client and to provide the best services available. The following guidelines were established to ensure these obligations are met.

Content:

All services provided by OnTimeHost Web Hosting may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or presentation of any information, data or material in violation of any United States Federal, State or City law is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material we judge to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret and other statute. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless OnTimeHost and its employees from any claims resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber or any other party.

Pornography and sex-related merchandising is prohibited on all OnTimeHost servers. This includes sites that may infer sexual content, or links to adult content elsewhere. OnTimeHost will be the sole arbiter in determining viola tions of this provision.

Also prohibited are sites that promote any illegal activity or present content that may be damaging to OnTimeHost servers or any other server on the Internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.

Examples of unacceptable content or links:

- Pirated software
- Hacker programs or archives
- Warez sites

OnTimeHost will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Sites with banners, graphics or cgi's running from their domain used on other domains:

When you employ services such as Link Exchange or a cgi host who lets 1000's of others link to their site, it is important that you require any sites you exchange ads with, display your ad on their server. Not only will not abiding to this guideline cause your site to load slow, depending on the resources that you are absorbing you will inadvertently affect our other clients.

Sites with archives or galleries (.gif, .jpg, exe, zip, tar, etc.)

Meaning if your site has many downloads or pictures. NOTE: You must be putting a serious drain on our system before we contact you.

Sites using more than 20% of system resources:

OnTimeHost will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Chat Rooms:

We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. These tend to be a large drain on system resources and we cannot allow it as an account option.

Background Running Programs:

We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a case-by-case 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. 
 

Email:

Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited e-mail including, without limitation, commercial advertising and informational announcements, from an OnTimeHost server or using an e-mail address or domain that is maintained on an OnTimeHost machine as reference is STRICTLY prohibited. OnTimeHost will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. A user shall not use another site's mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the site. OnTimeHost will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of these provisions.
