3.6 Use of Shared Resources

eXtremesurf operates a shared hosting environment, which means that there are multiple customers hosted on any given server. In light of this:

  • Maximum Daily SMTP Emails: We do not allow clients to send more than 2000 e-mails per day from a shared hosting account. If you need to send more than 2000 e-mails per day, contact support. We reserve the right to uphold this limit even if you request that it be increased.
  • Maximum Recipients Per Email Sent Through Our SMTP Servers: We limit the number of recipients in a single email message being sent through our SMTP servers to 32 recipients.
  • Website Development: You agree to design your websites in such a manner as to avoid overloading our servers by consuming inordinately large amounts of resources such as processor time, system memory, and network bandwidth.
  • Excessive CPU Useage: You acknowledge and agree that you are paying for a host plan on a shared hosting environment. You agree that you are not paying for a dedicated managed server and that you will not try to use your shared host plan as a dedicated server. Our host plans offer a generous amount of bandwidth and resources and 95% of our customers will never reach their host plan resource limits unless they are offering shareware, video, large sound files, image and multimedia archives, or are mirror sites or any site whose primary purpose is file distribution. We strongy discouraged you from storing any files that cause excessive traffic on the servers and we strongly discourage customers from treating our network as if the server is their own dedicated server.

    Shared server hosting accounts are limited in use of the amount of server resources. Shared server resource abuse includes any process or service usage that affects normal shared server operation, resources or connectivity, and which causes a server to become overloaded. Shared server resources include CPU and memory usage, number of concurrent processes, number of concurrent port or database connections and total bandwidth.

    You agree to not use excessive amounts of CPU, or memory on the server that your host plan resides. You also agree not to use our servers or network as a production server as if it were a dedicated server for just your account. Should your use of your web host account result in an overly high load on any of the network's equipment, in eXtremesurf's sole discretion, eXtremesurf may suspend your account until the cause of any such overload is determined and resolved. You agree that eXtremesurf will have no liability to you or any of your end users due to any corrective action that eXtremesurf may take and that you will not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid in advance prior to the corrective action. eXtremesurf shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. Note that eXtremesurf is not responsible for validating or testing your code nor do we provide HTML or software coding assistance.

    NOTE: Possible causes of server resource abuse include, but are not limited to, the use of: CGI, Perl, Sendmail, mySQL, MSSQL, PHP, ASP, HTTP, SMTP, POP3 and FTP. If server resource abuse is detected, possible actions include, but are not limited to: disabling of the offending script or scripts, disabling of the specific service, disabling of the entire account or account cancellation. If server overload is a result of server resource abuse, these actions will be taken after consultation with the client in question.

3.7 Email Abuse

The following activities are considered as email abuse and are prohibited:

  1. Unsolicited bulk emailing and mass emailing. ALL accounts, customer website pages and customer database applications/scripts CANNOT be used for mass emailing of any type using eXtremesurf mail servers. This includes, but not limited to commercial advertising, mass mailing more than 100 SMTP emails per day per email account, informational announcements, charity requests, petitions for signatures, and political or religious tracts. Such emails may only be sent in if the receiver explicitly requested such information directly from you.
  2. Stealth Emailing. This includes forging, altering or removing email headers
  3. Mail Bombing. This includes sending a large number of emails to disrupt or compromise a servers, systems or network
  4. Emailing that may harass or intimidate others. This includes harassment or intimidation through frequency of emails, size of emails and the language of emails. If the recipient asks to stop, you must discontinue sending any further emails
  5. Newsgroup Spamming. This includes unwelcome commercial advertising and posting that may be against the rules of a Usenet discussion group or mailing list.

    Such activities carried out from servers/systems not managed by eXtremesurf are ALSO prohibited if they link to websites, content or material hosted on eXtremesurf's servers/systems.

    Emailing abuse carries a fine of up to $160 CAD per email message sent, depending on the severity of the violation. Email abuse is also grounds for immediate suspension of your Service Account and an appropriate legal action. eXtremesurf reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, what constitutes a violation of this provision.

3.8 Security
  1. You agree that maintaining the security and integrity of its network is a prime responsibility of eXtremesurf and that in light of this, eXtremesurf may suspend your account without notice if it perceives your account to be a risk to the security of our network and/or other customers.
  2. You agree that in the event of a security breach involving your account, you are liable for any unauthorized use of your account, your Website, and your email. You are also liable for any damages the security breach may cause to eXtremesurf's servers, network, and other customers and for the costs eXtremesurf may incur in returning our service to its normal state.
  3. You agree that if there are two or more security breaches of your account(s) and/or email, that eXtremesurf has the right to suspend or cancel your account on five (5) days notice.
  4. You agree that it is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of passwords for your control panel and email accounts. We strongly recommend that you create and use "strong" passwords. Strong passwords are at least seven (7) characters in length, consist of a mix of upper- and lower-case alphabetic characters, numeric characters, and ideally, one or more special characters (e.g., #, $, %, *, and so on). Under no circumstances should you use passwords such as your name, the names of your children or pets, your birth date, and so on. These are prime candidates for abuse by hackers.
  5. You agree that no security system is 100 percent failsafe and that your public files, email, and personal information could potentially be compromised by online attacks against our network and server security mechanisms or physical attacks against our facilities. eXtremesurf goes to significant lengths to ensure that its systems and facilities are secure, however, we cannot absolutely guarantee that no security breaches will occur.

3.9 Incoming Email Blacklisting

You agree that eXtremesurf may block incoming email from any open mail relay, Internet Protocol (IP) address, or other source if we believe that source is being used to send spam to eXtremesurf customers. Spam can so overburden our mail servers that all customers can experience slowdowns in receiving mail and even, potentially, lost mail.


3.10 System and Network Abuse

You agree not violate, nor will you try to violate, the security of our network and servers. Doing so will result in the immediate termination of your account without notice or refund. You will also be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and you will be liable for all damages that occur as a result of your intrusion or intrusion attempt as well as costs to return eXtremesurf's systems and network to its normal state. Examples of such violations include, but are not limited to:

  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to our servers, network systems, or the data stored on these devices
  • Conducting scans or other probes of our network to test for vulnerabilities
  • Breaching authentication measures to gain unauthorized access to any account or service
  • Interfering with any service to any customer of eXtremesurf or any host or network, either eXtremesurf's or otherwise
  • Mail bombing
  • Forging any TCP/IP header or any email or Usenet message header
  • Conducting any type of Denial of Service (DoS) or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack
  • In regards to Proxies: Anonymous proxies, cookie hiding proxies, email proxies, and any other form of proxy is not allowed on any server. Any proxy found running on any account will be immediately disabled, and the user notified. If attempts to continue running proxies are made, the account may be suspended without further notice given. Proxies are deemed to be server abuse. They consume many cpu cycles, bandwidth, and use high amounts of memory. This includes all forms of proxies that may be run, from cgi, perl, php, python, asp, and asp.net, or any other scripting language, along with any form of XML based proxies.

3.11 Viruses, Worms , Trojans, "Malware"

You agree not to deliberately distribute viruses, worms, Trojans, other "malware," or tools to create same from your Website or through your email accounts. Doing so will result in the immediate termination of your account without notice or refund.


3.12 Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Scripts

You agree that if you're running a CGI script that poses a security risk to eXtremesurf's network and/or other customers, that facilitates spamming, or that adversely affects system performance, the script will be terminated and then removed without prior notice.


3.13 Internet Relay Chat (IRC)

eXtremesurf does not permit you to run IRC and IRC bots from your account. Doing so may result in suspension or termination of your account without notice.


3.14 File Backups
  1. You agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a backup of all your web hosting files, scripts, email, and databases and that we offer no guarantee that we can restore such data from our own backups. We strongly recommend that you back up your data at regular intervals to avoid any problems.
  2. You agree that, at your request, eXtremesurf may attempt to restore any data that you might have lost due to your own errors and omissions. This service is not guaranteed to succeed—it is performed on a best-efforts basis. Regardless of success, you may be invoiced for the time we expended in providing the restore service.

3.15 Violation of Laws and Regulations

  4. You agree to not promote Intoxicants by displaying or promoting any type(s) of intoxicant, alcoholic beverage, cigarettes or illegal substance contrary to any laws.
  5. You agree not store, link to, transmit, advertise, or make available intellectual property, trade secrets, copyrighted materials, or trademarked materials for which you have no license to do so.

3.16 Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses
  1. eXtremesurf may assign you a fixed Internet Protocol (IP) address in order to take advantage of certain features of our Web hosting service.

  2. Static / Dynamic Content Caching: You expressly (i) grant to eXtremesurf a license to cache the entirety of your Web Site, including content supplied by third parties, hosted by eXtremesurf under this Agreement and (ii) agree that such caching is not an infringement of any of your intellectual property rights or any third party's intellectual property rights.

3.17 Adult Content

Because we cannot monitor websites to ensure children do not view such content, you agree that you will not distribute, promote, or sell adult content to include photographs, explicit sex illustrations, explicit sex anime, or live web videos containing explicit sexual acts, through your Website or by email. You further agree not to include links to websites offering such material from your Website. Linking to pornographic websites is prohibited. This includes sites that may infer explicit sexual content, contain nudity or links to adult pornography content elsewhere. eXtremesurf will be the sole arbiter in determining violations of this provision. If you are found to be violating this clause, eXtremesurf reserves the right to terminate your account without notice or refund.


3.18 Child Pornography

  6. Statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

3.22 Resellers Server Resource Useage

A reseller account is for reselling SHARED hosting accounts only. It is not a means to gain extra resource at a lower cost for a single account. As such, resellers are not permitted to abuse a reseller account by using 100% of your total resource on one account. Do not misunderstand this policy; you are permitted to use up to 100% of your account's total resource limits. It is just that you must have multiple resold accounts in a way that the accounts get distributed across our clustered server environment appropriately.

Resellers of eXtremesurf hosting are required to spread their accounts across multiple servers. This is to help balance the load across our Hpshere cluster of servers. This is in fact, the reason for having a clustered server environment. It is also what our pricing model is based upon. Selecting many multiple unix or windows plans is fine as our Hsphere cluster will determine what server to place the account on. The problem is when a reseller places too many domains on one server by creating a multiple domain plan with too high a number of domains allowed. When this occurs ALL those domains will reside on the same server and not be spread around our clustered servers. For this reason a reseller is not permitted to use more then 60% of their total resource level for one customer account. If you have a customer that requires to have an account with more then 60% of their total resource level it is recommended that you contact eXtremesurf for options we may have to attend to your customers requirements in a way that will not affect our shared hosting environment in a negative way.
