NOTICE: IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS FOUND TO CONTAIN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, ILLEGAL MP3 FILES, PIRATED SOFTWARE, HACKER PROGRAMS, WAREZ PROGRAMS, OR ANY OTHER ILLEGAL FILES, YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT NOTICE! ADDITIONALLY, PRAMNOS HOSTING  WILL NOTIFY THE PROPER AUTHORITIES OF YOUR ACTIONS.

For Resellers: we will suspend the site in question and will notify you so you may terminate the account. We will further monitor your activity; more than one infraction of this type may result in the immediate termination of your account.

Security

It is your responsibility to ensure that scripts/programs installed under your account are secure and permissions of directories are set properly, regardless of installation method. When at all possible, set permissions on most directories to 755 or as restrictive as possible. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken under their account. This includes the compromise of credentials such as user name and password. It is required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.

Backups and Data Loss

Your use of this service is at your sole risk. Our backup service runs once a week, overwrites any of our previous backups made, and only one week of backups are kept. This service is provided to you as a courtesy. Pramnos Hosting is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backup of files and data stored on Pramnos Hosting servers.

Semi-dedicated servers are not backed up. You must maintain your own backups.

Hosting as Backup Storage

Using a shared account as a backup/storage device is not permitted, with the exception of one cPanel backup of the same account. Please do not take backups of your backups.

IRC

We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

Spam

Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial information over the Internet. It is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward Pramnos Hosting , but also because it can overload Pramnos Hosting ' network and disrupt service to Pramnos Hosting ' subscribers. Also, maintaining an open SMTP relay is prohibited. When a complaint is received, Pramnos Hosting  will investigate and shutdown the account that is SPAMing without any notice. A 250€ charge for violating this policy will be charged to the person initiating the SPAM. Furthermore Pramnos Hosting  reserves the right to prosecute for this violation.

Transfers

Our transfers team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we can not make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.

The free transfer services are available for 30 days from your sign up date. Transfers outside of the 30 day free period will incur a charge; please contact a member of the transfers department with specific details to receive a price quote.

Reseller: Client Responsibility

Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. Pramnos Hosting does not provide support to our Reseller's Clients. If a reseller's client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients' behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients'. Pramnos Hosting will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients actions that violate the law or the terms of service.

Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people, if you wish to resell hosting you must use a reseller account. 

Server Abuse

Any attempt to undermine or cause harm to a server or customer of Pramnos Hosting  is strictly prohibited. As our customer you are responsible for all your accounts. Should you violate the Terms of Services outlined within, your account will be cancelled without chance of refund.

We reserve the right to refuse, cancel or suspend service, at our sole discretion. All sub-networks, distributive hosting sites and dedicated servers of Pramnos Hosting  must adhere to the above policies, with the exception of system resources in respect to dedicated servers.

You agree to supply appropriate payment for the services received from Pramnos Hosting, in advance of the time period during which such services are provided.

You agree that until and unless you notify Pramnos Hosting of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those services will be billed on a recurring basis.

Cancellations must be done by support ticket from your account in our Members Area. Once we receive your cancellation and have confirmed all necessary information with you via e-mail, we will inform you in writing (typically email) that your account has been canceled. Your cancellation confirmation will contain a ticket/tracking number in the subject for your reference, and for verification purposes.

We require that cancellations of service are done through the online form to

• confirm your identity and
• document the request.

1. bill the billing information of the customer (when such information has been provided by the client); or

In the event that there is insufficient credit, we will send an e-mail notification, at which point we will need to be provided with new billing information in 24 hours. If we do not receive a response within 24 hours, the account, and all accounts under that account plan, will be suspended.

It is the customer's responsibility to notify our sales team via email at sales@pramnoshosting.com after paying for a domain renewal and to ensure the email is received and acted upon.

Price Change - Hosting Plans Change

Pramnos Hosting retains the right to change any pricing and make changes to our account plans without notification.

Resource Usage

• Traffic Usage
  All account plans come with a predetermined amount of traffic allowance. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.

• User may not:

  • Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.

  • Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.

  • Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.

  • Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.

  • Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.

  • Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities

  • Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc

  • Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.

  • Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.

  • When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include("http://yourdomain.com/include.php") use include("include.php")

  • To help reduce usage, do not force html to handle server-side code (like php and shtml).

  • Only use https protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.

• Inodes
  The use of more than 250,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in a warning first, and if no action is taken future suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 100,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage, however databases will still be backed up. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.
  Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose "Mail", then "Default Address", "Set Default Address", and then type in: :fail: No such user here.

• Backup Limit
  Any shared account using more than 20 gigs of disk space will be removed from our off site weekly backup with the exception of Databases continuing to be backed up. All data will continue to be mirrored to a secondary drive which helps protect against data loss in the event of a drive failure.

Server Uptime Guarantee

Pramnos Hosting  guarantees 99.5% service (http, ftp, pop, imap, smtp) uptime on all shared hosting plans. Should we fail to deliver this for any given calendar month, your account will be refunded a pro-rated amount for the duration of excessive downtime. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of Pramnos Hosting dependent upon justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor's network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please contact sales@pramnoshosting.com with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared / reseller solutions. Dedicated servers are covered by a network guarantee in which the credit is prorated for the amount of time the server is down which is not related to our uptime guarantee.
