Bandwidth Usage Policy

You are allotted a certain amount And charged for the extra

UsBizHost provides a bandwidth estimate figure in your control panel. This is an estimate and is provided from the server level. Actual account bandwidth usage is measured for billing purposes at the port level. This policy exists because many users offer files for download via FTP which is not otherwise measured by the server directly at this time. Please note that because the bandwidth is monitored at the port, any and all traffic for your Web Site is tracked including, but not limited to: FTP uploads and downloads, mail sending and retrieval, normal Web traffic, etc. Everything that is pushed from our server to a third-party's machine is considered bandwidth and will be measured.

We have designed this policy because many users find that hosts offer "unlimited" bandwidth only to find out that it has a very real bandwidth limit. Further, they place restrictions on what you can use the bandwidth for (i.e. no image galleries because they are a large source of bandwidth consumption). We tell you upfront how much bandwidth you are allocated each month and you have the full amount to use.

It is important to note that many sites don't use more than 1 GB of bandwidth. Your site has to be very popular or very graphic intensive to use more than 1 GB.

The privacy of our visitors and customers is extremely important to UsBizHost. We believe in every individual's right to privacy and believe that personal information is not a commodity and should not be treated as one. Therefore, we will never share your personal information with any third party without your permission, except as required by law.

Your email address is not for sale or trade and is strictly guarded. Our Acceptable Usage Policy prohibits our customers from sending unsolicited bulk commercial email (AKA "SPAM") using our services. If it is brought to our attention that one of our customers is violating this policy, we will do everything we can to stop this and ensure it does not happen again. We also do everything within our power to keep non-customers from using our email servers for SPAM.

All client information such as email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, etc. is used only for internal purposes. This contact information will be used to get in touch with you about your web hosting service when necessary and for announcements. Financial information will be used to bill you for your web hosting service.

We allow you to write scripts
using CGI, PERL and PHP!

Usbizhost provides our clients with web hosting accounts that permit the use of CGI files, PHP scripts, and other executable programs. Because these scripts use much more system resources than standard HTML pages, certain restrictions must be made governing the use of such "active content" systems. Under most circumstances, we are able to pinpoint it to the offending account on the system. The following rules apply to all "active content" files as listed above:

The scripts must use low system resources. Scripts that consume a large amount of our RAM or processor will be subject to immediate suspension until the owner can be notified and an alternative solution is reached.
Each user account may not use more than 20% of system resources at any given time. If a web hosting account is consistently using 20% or greater system resources, the account holder will be warned and if no action is taken on behalf of the account holder the web hosting account may be suspended.
The scripts may not interact with any server configuration or hardware. Web hosting accounts running these scripts are subject to immediate account termination without refund.
The scripts can not be used or referenced from any other site not hosted by UsBizHost.
The scripts must execute in a timely fashion. Any script that uses the processor for more than a few milliseconds is subject to removal.
All scripts that appear to be designed specifically to attack or otherwise maliciously affect the server is completely unacceptable, and if such scripts are found in your web hosting account the account will be terminated immediately and your actions will be reported to the proper local, state, and federal authorities and legal action will be taken to prosecute the account holder to the fullest extent of the law.
Perl-based chat room scripts are strictly prohibited.
Scripts that require high-bandwidth usage, such as Perl chat room scripts or banner rotation scripts, are prohibited.
Scripts must be kept secure.
Any web hosting account with scripts found in violation of these policies are subject to future scrutiny of all CGI, Perl, CFM and PHP scripts by our System Administrators. If a script is found to be harmful to the system, it will be killed immediately and the web hosting account locked down until the account owners have been contacted. Malicious scripts are subject to immediate web hosting account termination without refund of any prepaid monies.

Spam Footnote: - First define "spam." Spam is any unsolicited email whether commercial or non-commercial. You may or may not agree but that is my definition based on my research recently. A good definition is found here http://www.monkeys.com/spam-defined/

Absolutely no spam can be sent through Usbizhost servers or network. Absolutely no site can be hosted on UsBizHost servers or network that is advertised in spam. If you run any kind of newsletter or any other kind of bulk email service then you must have some evidence that people actually signed up to receive such email. Any and all spam complaints will be investigated thoroughly to determine if the complaint is legitimate. We will not take the word of the complainer. We must have proof from the one reporting the spam. Any user found to be spamming in any way or hosting a site advertised in spam will be given 30 days notice to either stop the spamming or come up with evidence to prove that the one reporting the spam actually did sign up to receive it or to find another host.

If you collect email addresses for bulk email the best proof is to collect as much information as possible about the person including the date and time and ip address at the time of sign up. It would be good to have their real name and address too. The more personal information you have about somebody then the better it is because it is unlikely that a spammer would have all that information. Be aware too that there are addresses out there that are planted for spammer to capture to be used in spam. These addresses are planted so that the receiver knows that the email is spam because those addresses are not used for any other purpose. So if you use software to scan newsgroups or websites to collect email addresses then you will be caught. Please don't do this. You also have to be careful about buying email lists from other companies. You need to verify that these addresses are legitimate and the people do want to receive what you are sending them. Responsible E-Mail advertising provides a benefit for your clients and keeps potential clients in contact with you!
