Adult Sites
We allow legal adult sites. All models must be 18 years of age and older.

SPAM and Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE)

247-host takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE) or SPAM over our network. Very simply this means that customers of 247-host may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Customers of 247-host may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service.

Violation of 247-host SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, 247-host will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, 247-host may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, 247-host may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer's account. Further, 247-host reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. 247-host will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.
 

First violations of this policy will result in a warning and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an immediate termination of your account.
 

As our resellers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the 247-host network, it is advisable that resellers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.
 

System and Network Security
Users are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of the 247-host Network. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability. 247-host will investigate occurrences, which may involve such violations and may involve, and cooperate with, law enforcement authorities in prosecuting Users who are involved in such violations. These violations include, without limitation:

All use of hosting space provided by 247-host is subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Shared and reseller hosting space may only be used for web files, active email and content of User Websites.

Transfers & Other Services
Our Transfers Team will make every effort to help you move your website to us. Transfers are provided as a courtesy service. We do not make any guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to migrate some or all account data. In some cases we may not be able to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host. The free transfer service is available for forty-five (45) days from your sign up date. Transfers outside of the forty-five (45) day period will incur a charge; please contact a member of our Sales department with specific details to receive a price quote. In no event shall 247-host be held liable for any lost or missing data or files resulting from a transfer to or from 247-host. You are solely responsible for backing up your data in all circumstances.

A client is defined as one with at least one active or suspended product, service, add-on or domain. A license that goes over the 250 clients limit will automatically be deactivated. For licenses with over 250 clients will need to be purchased directly through WHMCS.
