Wynhost Terms and Conditions

All services provided by Wynhost 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, or material protected by trade secret and other statute. The subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Wynhost and its employees from any claims resulting from the use of the service which damages the subscriber or any other party.

The following content will not be tolerated on any package.
1. Any copyrighted Audio or Video Files.
2. Any content that is considered to be offensive. This includes but is not limited to pornography and sex-related merchandising.
3. No Forums that consume too many resources. PHP-based Forums are preferred.
4. No Software, unless created by the client.

Also prohibited are sites that promote any illegal activity or present content that may be damaging to Wynhost servers or any other server on the internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.
Examples of unacceptable content or links:
- Pirated software
- Hacker programs or archives
- Warez sites
- IRC bots

Wynhost will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision.

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. Wynhost shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. 

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 Wynhost 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

Wynhost 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, Wynhost provides Java chat rooms that meet most users' needs and run without hindering system performance.

Background Running Programs and Cron Jobs

Wynhost 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 Wynhost SupportDesk so that we can arrange set-up.

IRC

Wynhost does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

UCE (Unsolicited Commerce Email) - SPAM

Spamming, the sending of unsolicited mass email from or through a Wynhost server or using an email address that is maintained on a Wynhost machine is STRICTLY prohibited. Wynhost will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this provision. Customers are also in violation of this provision if they engage in spamming using the service of another ISP or IPP, but channel activities through a Wynhost server as a mail drop for responses. Violators will be assessed a minimum fine of S$100 and will face immediate suspension.

Server Abuse

Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a Wynhost server or customer are strictly prohibited.

Software Distribution

Wynhost's shared web hosting accounts are not configured for the purposes of distributing software and/or multimedia products. If you wish to distribute software and/or multimedia files, please contact sales@wynhost.com to make special arrangements.

Multimedia Files

Multimedia files are defined as any graphics, audio, and video files. Wynhost shared web hosting accounts are not to be used for the purposes of distributing and storing unusual amounts of multimedia files. Any web site whose disk space usage for storing multimedia files exceeds 70% of its total usage, in terms of total size or number of files, will be considered to be using an unusual amount of multimedia files.

Databases

Any database stored on Wynhost's servers shall be limited in size to 10% of the total disk space allotted for that particular domain's plan/web hosting account.
