Illegal
Use
WorldOnBiz
servers may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage,
or distribution of any information, data, or material in violation
of any applicable law or regulation is prohibited. This includes,
but is not limited to: copyrighted material; trademarks; trade secrets
or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization;
material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat,
or violates export control laws. Examples of unacceptable content
or links include: pirated software, hacker programs or archives,
Warez sites, MP3, and IRC bots.
Adult
Content
Due
to the special system and network requirements of adult-oriented
sites, pornography and sex-related merchandising are prohibited.
This includes sites that may infer sexual content or provide links
to adult content elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote
any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers
or any other server on the Internet, or provide links to such sites.
Security
Violations
of system or network security are prohibited and may result in criminal
and civil liability. Examples include but are not limited to the
following: unauthorized access, use, probing, or scanning of systems
security or authentication measures, data, or traffic; interference
with service to any user, host, or network including, without limitation,
mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system,
broadcast attacks; forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part
of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.
Server
Resources*
Any
web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but
not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) will
be given the option to either pay additional fees (which will depend
on the resources required), reduce the resources used to an acceptable
level, or upgrade its service to a Dedicated Server plan. WorldOnBiz
shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server
usage level.
All
shared web hosting accounts come with a limit of 5,000 files per
account. Each block of 5,000 files after the initial 5,000 will
incur an additional charge of $9.95/month.
Any
web hosting account deemed to be adversely affecting server performance
or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice.
CGI
Scripts*
CGI
script sharing with domains not hosted by WorldOnBiz is not permitted.
Any CGI-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting server performance
or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice.
Chat
Rooms*
WorldOnBiz
does not allow customers to install their own chat rooms. Chat
rooms tend to require significant system resources and therefore
cannot be permitted as an account option. However, for a small
charge, WorldOnBiz provides Java chat rooms that meet most users'
needs and run without hindering system performance.
Background
Running Programs and Cron Jobs*
WorldOnBiz
may allow programs to run in the background. These programs will
be considered on an individual basis and customers will incur
extra charges based on system resources used and operational maintenance
needed. If you wish to run background programs please contact
