Abuse of Unlimited Traffic
Streaming TV and Radio's customers are privileged to be offered
unlimited traffic for their web sites. The intention of Streaming TV
and Radio is to provide a large space to serve web documents, not an
off site storage area for electronic files. All (90%) of your web
pages (html) must be 'linked' with files (.GIF, .JPEG, etc.) stored
on Streaming TV and Radio's server. Web sites that are found to
contain either/or no html documents, a large number of unlinked
files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the
discretion of Streaming TV and Radio management. Any customer who
violates Streaming TV and Radio's Policies in abusing either
space/site transfer will be notified and given 2 days to remedy the
problem. If the problem is not resolved within the allotted period,
the client will be billed for the overages.
To maintain the integrity of our shared hosting service the
following limitations apply:
Sites with banners, graphics or cgi scripts running from their
domain used on other domains. Sites with picture galleries (This is
any site where 50% of the files transferred is graphics) Sites
offering download files or archives. (This is any site where 50% or
more of there monthly traffic is from file downloads). Sites using
more than 30% of system resources for longer than 60 seconds. Sites
running multimedia files (QuickTime, Real Audio, Real Video, MP3).
For those that do not qualify for the unlimited service, traffic
will go unmonitored until you reach 20 GB per month. Thereafter,
normal data transfer cost of $20.00/1GB/month will be billed to your
account. If you want to pre-pay for bandwidth overages, you will be
billed $10.00/1GB/month.
You will receive a notice on Tuesday morning detailing your
bandwidth usage.
If you do not pay for your overages your site will be disabled
within 7 days of your first notice. This does not apply to
co-location clients. Co-location clients will be billed for the
overages based on switch reports. Co-location clients must pay for
the overages IMMEDIATELY once billing or Streaming TV and Radio has
the sole decision to deactivate any and all servers.
Streaming TV and Radio will be the sole arbiter as to what
constitutes a violation of this provision.
Unsolicited Email (Spam)
Unsolicited commercial advertisements (spam) are not allowed in
e-mail, and will likely result in account cancellation.
Streaming TV and Radio takes a zero-tolerance approach to spam
originating from our servers or for spam advertising of domains
hosted on our servers.
The following activities are not allowed:
Unsolicited bulk or commercial messages ("spam"). This includes, but
is not limited to, bulk mailing of commercial advertising,
informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for
signatures, and political or religious tracts. Such messages may
only be sent to those who have explicitly requested it from your
domain.
Forging, altering or removing electronic mail headers is prohibited.
Any domain sending stealth spam will be terminated without warning
and without refund.
Sending numerous copies of the same or substantially similar message
with the intent to disrupt a server or account ("mail bombing").
Spamming Newsgroups: Commercial advertisements are unwelcome in most
Usenet discussion groups and on most e-mail mailing lists.
Inappropriate posting may result in account cancellation. See the
newsgroup or mailing list's charter for whether advertising is
allowed or not. "Spamming," or sending a message to many different
off-topic newsgroups, is particularly unethical and will be treated
as such.
Mail may not be used to harass or intimidate others. Harassment,
whether through language, frequency of messages, or size of
messages, is prohibited. Sending a single unwelcome message may be
considered harassment. If a recipient asks to stop receiving e-mail,
you must not send that person any further messages.
Note: If you use the services of another provider to promote a web
site hosted by or through Streaming TV and Radio (spamvertising),
then the provisions of the above Policy shall apply as if the spam
were sent through our servers.
