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. In the rare event of you in need of a chat room service for your domain, kindly request our support team justifying the cause. Even in such cases you are limited to one chat room on your domain. This however, only applies to shared and reseller hosting and does not relate to a VPS or a Dedicated server.

Background Running Programs

Background running programs are strictly prohibited on shared hosting platforms. We may however, 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. This however, is on the sole discretion of the support team and if the need be, the customer could be asked to move to a VPS or a stand alone server.

IRC

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

Commercial Advertising - Email

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 for 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.

As such, any violation may result in immediate deactivation of services without refund.

Abuse of Unlimited Traffic and Unlimited Storage

LowHost Network's concept behind "unlimited traffic" and "unlimited storage" is to provide our customers with an unlimited amount of storage space and bandwidth for active web pages and cannot be used as a "storage space" for electronic files. Sites that fall under "electronic storage" are LARGE archives of images, compressed files, movies, or sound files. LowHost allows up to 25 megs of archive storage, ex. movies, sound files (including real audio files), images, compressed files, Real Audio or Video archives, etc. To ensure proper use, all HTML pages MUST be hyper-linked to files (.HTML, .JPG, .GIF, etc.) stored on LowHost Network's server and vice versa. CGI chat scripts are also not allowed and are considered and abuse of unlimited bandwidth. Any cgi scripts that consume large amounts of CPU usage or memory are also not allowed. The user will be asked to remove any script that abuses system resources.

Server Abuse

Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a server is strictly prohibited.
