Web and FTP Site Content Policies

We do not allow any of the following content to be published on any of our servers:



1. Content of an illegal nature (including copyrighted material).

3. Users posting any of the above content on their sites may have their Web and/or incoming anonymous FTP services temporarily suspended. They will then be contacted by Othio Hosting and given the opportunity to remove the content in question before having their services reinstated. A repeated offense may cause cancellation of service without refund of any fees.

E-mail Usage Policies

Othio Hosting does not support unsolicited email messages sent by users of our system (also known as junk email or SPAM). Users sending unsolicited email messages from our system will have all of their services temporarily suspended or terminated. They will then be contacted by Othio Hosting and informed of the suspension before having their services reinstated. A repeated offense may cause cancellation of service without refund of any fees. Othio Hosting does not allow any hosting account to give out free or paid email hosting on a public level.

Illegal Activities

Customers caught using our system for illegal activities, including but not limited to breaking into remote systems, credit card fraud, theft, vandalism, threats, or violence, will have their accounts immediately cancelled without refund of any fees.

Right to Refuse Service

Othio Hosting reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. We enforce this policy to ensure a professional environment for the users of our system. This includes any programs, such as CGI programs that are using excessive amounts of system resources. Excessive amounts is defined as any amount that results in substantial degradation of server performance. Othio Hosting is the sole determinant of what constitutes degraded server performance. On some occasions, we allow heavy usage depending on the situation. However, additional fees may apply.
