This measure is to ensure a pleasent service to all customers so you are not affected by a neighbouring server.
Unlimited Domains

Unlimited domains refer to sub domains, parked domains and add-on domains. In all cases (even those described as "unlimited"), the Services are intended for normal use only, and any activity that results in excessive usage that is inconsistent with normal usage patterns is strictly prohibitedCheaphosting reserves the right to suspend, discontinue or delete the accounts of Users whose use of unlimited sub domains, parked domains and add-on domains results in or presents the risk of degradation of service to other customers, regardless of the amount of domains included in the User's plan. User agrees that such usage shall not exceed the amounts set Cheaphosting for the Services purchased (the "Agreed Usage") and is additionally subject to normal usage guidelines established by Cheaphosting as in effect from time to time. These allotments are optimized and dedicated towards serving the Content and User's active electronic mail services related solely to User's web hosting account(s) with Cheaphosting.
If Cheaphosting takes any such corrective action under this section, User shall not be entitled to a refund or credit of any fees paid prior to such action. User will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding User's Web site, User Content and/or User's electronic mail services, including use of bandwidth, disk usage and other resources and will use such services and resources only for lawful purposes. User may not utilize:
*the Services to copy material from third parties (including text, graphics, music, videos or other copyrightable material) without proper authorization;

User is responsible for complying with any usage requirements or limits for bandwidth, disk space or other resources, and monitoring such usage to ensure the Web site does not violate such requirements or exceed normal usage limits, Agreed Usage, or other limits allocated for the account(s) and otherwise complies with this Agreement. Cheaphosting will use commercially reasonable efforts to e-mail Users who are at or near their utilization limits, but Cheaphosting does not take responsibility if e-mail notification(s) is not received by the User. Cheaphosting reserves the right to discontinue service through the beginning of the next month for your account in the event that it exceeds the any such allotment.


Shared/Reseller Hosting Resource Usage

User may not:
*Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc;
*Run P2P daemons;
*Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers;
*Run any software that automates communications on an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network;

While our shared services are suitable for the bulk of our customers, there comes a time for some websites when they are better suited for a larger plan, which allows for more dedicated CPU and memory resources. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to discontinue service to any customer with a website or other hosted data that takes up more than 10% of the server resources and/or 10% of the server's CPU. This means that if your website is found to be utilizing more than 10% of the CPU and memory of the service, we reserve the right to take your site offline. If this becomes necessary, you can either upgrade your hosting package, or request a pro-rated refund of the amounts you have paid in advance for the services. Due to the severity of this, and our ability to act quickly to correct these situations to avoid server issues, we will do everything reasonably feasible to provide you with a warning prior to taking your site offline, but we accept no obligation to do so.


VPS Hosting Resource Usage:

User may _not_: *Abuse the fair share CPU policy. We are constantly monitoring our servers and we request you keep your server load below 4.00 to keep our servers stable for everyone. You can check your server load via SSH using the command "uptime" without quotations.

When the Services Will be Available

We will attempt to provide the services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for as long as you have paid for them. Sometimes, however, for a number of reasons, the services may be unavailable to you. You must recognize and acknowledge that due to the nature of web hosting technology, occasional unavailability of the services cannot be avoided. Sometimes there are equipment malfunctions. At other times we undertake periodic maintenance procedures or repairs. Still other times, there are causes beyond our control like power failures, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, network traffic and other occurrences. We have not promised to provide you with uninterrupted service. We guarantee a 99.9% uptime.


Guarantee

As we explain in this paragraph, we offer you a 72 hour Money Back Guarantee only on all shared & reseller hosting plans.
To cancel your account, just login to the account billing portal and navigate to Portal Home > Client Area > Services > Product Details then down the bottom of your screen click 'Request Cancellation'. From then on you can select weather you want the cancellation to be effective immediately or at the end of the billing period.
Cheaphosting also reserves the right to cancel your account with 72 hours notice should an event occur in which proper evidence exists that a customer was exceptionally rude or vulgar in communications with our staff.


Non-Payment

If more than 2 days pass from the date on which any invoice for the hosting services is issued to you and we have not received payment in full, we will suspend your account and charge a 10% late fee, which means that your data, files and website will become in-active and cannot be accessed. If in the following 6 days you pay all amounts due, bringing your account up to date, we will take your account out of suspension and the data will be available again immediately. You must have an active method of payment upon you account for your auto renewal at all times, failure to do so can result in your account being suspended or cancelled automatically.
If, however, 10 days pass from the date on which your account is suspended and you have not made payment in full, Cheaphosting shall have the right to delete all data you have uploaded to the servers. To summarize, if you get 10 days behind in making payments, your data will be deleted. You hereby acknowledge that this is Cheaphosting's policy when it comes to data retention, and waive all rights in and to your data in these situations.
Cheaphosting is unable to process orders placed using virtual/pre-paid/gift cards as we are unable to accurately verify them. In such cases it is advised that you pay through a PayPal account if you have no other valid credit card to make the payment from.


These Terms of Service May Change (Updated: 25-10-2019)

Due to our evolving business, and the changing nature of the web hosting industry, these terms of service may change. We will post the changes here, and your continued use of the service means you accept the changes we have made.

We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask you to do the same. We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who may be repeat infringers.

Indemnification

If Cheaphosting is sued or threatened with a lawsuit from a third party because of something you do with the services, or as an affiliate you agree to pick up the tab if Cheaphosting is found liable or pays to settle the dispute. In legal terms, this is called "indemnification". Not only do you agree to reimburse Cheaphosting for what it pays to satisfy a judgment or settle a case, you also agree to pay Cheaphosting's reasonable attorney's fees and all other costs Cheaphosting incurs in defending itself.


Disclaimer of Warranties

You may have noticed that up to this point these terms of service have been kind of easy to read and understand. But our lawyers tell us that this section, dealing in the disclaimer of warranties, has to retain its legalese style. Sorry about that. Cheaphosting EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. Cheaphosting MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ITS SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED. Cheaphosting DOES NOT WARRANT, NOR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE, OR RESULTS OF, ANY OF THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES, IN TERMS OF THEIR CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, in which event that foregoing disclaimer may not apply to you.


Limitation of Liability

Here is another section that has to retain its legalese. Simply stated, what this section is saying is that if something goes wrong, Cheaphosting cannot be held liable for it. IN NO EVENT SHALL Cheaphosting BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFIT OR GOODWILL, FOR ANY MATTER, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY IS ASSERTED ON THE BASIS OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS INCORPORATED AGREEMENTS AND POLICIES, YOUR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES, YOUR LOSS OF DATA OR FILES OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF Cheaphosting HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. Some states may not allow such a broad exclusion or limitation on liability for damages as contained in these terms of services. In those states, our liability is limited to the full extent permitted by law. You agree that in no event shall our maximum aggregate liability exceed the total amount paid by you for a 3-month period for the services in dispute purchased from us, or, in the event of liability of Cheaphosting due to your enrollment in the affiliate program.


Governing Law and Choice of Form

The laws of United States will govern this Agreement, without reference to rules governing choice of laws.
By using Cheaphosting services you agree to the above terms of service as in effect from time to time.
