The Computeration Station has the responsibility to protect each of our clients and provide them with the best services available. The following guidelines were designed to insure these services.
Content:
All services provided by The Computeration Station 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, unlicensed software or files or material protected by trade secret and other statue. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless The Computeration Station from any claims resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber or any other party.
Examples of non-acceptable content or links:
Pirated software "Illegal MP3's" Hackers programs or archives Warez Sites Child Pornography Adult Content
The Computeration Station will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.
Unlimited Traffic/Hits & Server Resource Usage:
The Computeration Station is pleased to offer our clients unlimited traffic/hits and server usage. Unlimited traffic/hits refers to the number of visitors to your website, NOT the amount of bandwidth/data transfer. Your account is still limited to the alotted bandwidth/data transfer included with your selected package. To maintain the integrity of our service, the following traffic/usage limitations apply.
Sites with banners, graphics or cgi's running from their domain being used on other domains. Sites with immense graphic archives or galleries. Sites offering immense download archives, such as .zip, .tar, .ra and .gz. Sites running large chat room gatherings. Sites using more than 20% of system resources.
If you do not qualify for unlimited traffic/hits, your account may be required to be upgraded, or The Computeration Station may move your site to a different server to reduce the load on the server you are currently residing. The Computeration Station will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of usage limitations. Bandwidth/data transfer will go unmonitored until you reach your account limit, then normal over-usage data transfer costs will apply. At any time, The Computeration Station may move your site to a different server to reduce the load on the server you are currently residing.
Chat Rooms:
The Computeration Station allows clients to install their own chat rooms; however, these tend to be large system hogs and may fall into the usage limitations clause. We do provide an HTML-based cgi chat room that runs without hindering the performance of the machine for others. You are free to run your own chat script as long as it does not hinder server performance.
Background Processes/Programs:
The Computeration Station may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis, and an extra charge may be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.
Cron Jobs:
The Computeration Station allows Cron Jobs to be conducted on our servers.
IRC:
The Computeration Station does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
Multiple Connections:
Multiple telnet and ftp sessions are allowed on a single hosting account.
Idle Timeouts:
The Computeration Station may disconnect any idle connection to the network. Average timeouts are:
FTP - 300 seconds Telnet - 2 hours
Commercial Advertising - Email:
Spamming, or the sending of unsolicited email, from a The Computeration Station server, or using an email address that is maintained on a The Computeration Station machine, is STRICTLY prohibited. For general reference, we consider spam to be any email that is sent to more than ten (10) people at a time that did not ask for it to be sent to them.
The Computeration Station will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Opt-in email is acceptable as long as Opt-out/Removal requests are fully honored. Please make an effort to limit outgoing mail on your account to no more than 1000 pieces per DAY and no more than 20 pieces per minute. Many times we have seen sites push over 1000 emails in one hit, which causes extreme server loads and prevents others from accessing server services. Large mailings are preferred to be sent from the hours of 12:00 am - 8:00 am EST. Sites with large mailing databases need to be placed on dedicated server platforms.
Server Abuse:
Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a The Computeration Station server or customer of The Computeration Station is strictly prohibited. The Computeration Station will pursue legal action to the fullest extent for all abuse of The Computeration Station's network.
Suspension/Deactivation:
If any terms or conditions are failed to be followed, it will result in grounds for account suspension or deactivation. The computeration Station reserves the right to remove any account without prior notice. If The Computeration Station deactivates your account(s) for violating policy, you will forfeit your rights to a refund, and none will be given. Normal policy is a warning first and account deactivation on the second offense. Serious offenses may cause immediate deactivation.
