Terms and Conditions.

DomainHostUSA.com reserves the right to change this Policy any time, so please, check this page at least once a month or when in doubt. DomainHostUSA.com strives to provide the best possible service to all our customers, but we will not tolerate any unlawful activity or abuse on our servers. We respect freedom of speech and expression unless it is harmful to others. These brief guidelines are imposed to protect you, other DomainHostUSA.com customers and us against such harm.

Payment Policies, Fees, Refunds and Terms of Agreement -

Full payment is required before any hosting service is rendered, which includes renewals. Prepayment is due each 30 days following the date the account was established. Billing will continue until you cancel your hosting account. You may cancel at anytime and your account will be closed when the next billing cycle begins. Once an account has been canceled and closed we delete their files from our server.

If your domain registration is due to expire, we—the domain registrar—bill you for it and send reminders. Following the final attempt and after the domain registration has expired—the domain enters a redemption period, during which you may retrieve your domain name for an additional fee and renew it by contacting customer support. The redemption period lasts 30 days. Once the redemption period ends—and the domain has not been renewed—the domain is pooled into our registry. After that, the domain name is no longer redeemable.

All monetary transactions are in $US dollars. Additional features can be added at any time. Monthly feature prices are not prorated. DomainHostUSA.com reserves the right to change prices at any time.

Account Cancellation -

You may cancel at anytime. To cancel your account, please send an email to info@domainhostusa.com with your name and domain name from the email account we have on file.

Server abuse policy -

If we determine that any site on our servers is using too much of the server's resources and therefore abusing the server, we have the right to suspend that domain without any notice. It is then up to you to contact us and formulate a plan to get that domain activated again. We are quick to suspend any domain that abuses the server's resources due to the shared nature of the server and the negative impact an abusing domain has on other domains on the same server.

No mass email marketing or free email businesses allowed!!

We do not allow mass email marketing sites on our servers. It doesn't matter if it's opt_in email marketing. We simply do not allow sites of that nature to be hosted on this shared environment. Sites such as "safe lists" and "free email" are also strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to shutdown such sites, that we consider harmful to the server's performance.

SPAM Policy -

DomainHostUSA.com is committed to a zero-tolerance, anti-Spamming policy. Under this policy, we prohibit Spam, or any unsolicited commercial email, from being sent either: Over the DomainHostUSA.com network, by customers or any other users of the DomainHostUSA.com network (including customers' customers); AND/OR over ANY network— if the message sent advertises or mentions a site hosted on the DomainHostUSA.com server.

We react quickly and seriously to violations, and we further reserve the right to terminate the services, without prior notice, of any customer disregarding this policy. Sending unsolicited commercial email (a.k.a. "spam"), cross-posting messages to a large number of Usenet groups, posting obscene or threatening messages while using or referring to an DomainHostUSA.com email address or web site URL is prohibited. The use of DomainHostUSA.com servers as a mail drop for responses to activities described above is also prohibited.

If your main domain is involved in spamming activities, and your account is subsequently terminated, then you do not have the right for a refund. This also includes if you have paid for additional services, such as installations of software or IP addresses.

If one of your domains/customers is involved in spamming, then we will suspend their site and not your main account. If you have any complaints or comments regarding Spam on our network, please direct them via email to abuse@domainhostusa.com

No Free Trial accounts allowed -

We expressly forbid our resellers from setting up Free Trial accounts. We also forbid the use of our resources to supply free hosting or free email services. These Free Trials and free accounts [subdomain or otherwise] open up the servers to severe abuse from hackers and spammers. If we find a reseller who is offerring Free Trial accounts, or free hosting, we will suspend that WHM account. We take this very seriously and there are no exceptions to this rule.

No Unlimited disk space or Unlimited data transfer allowed -
