Stuff2Host.com Terms of Service

The use of services from Stuff2Host.com, a subsidiary of Stuff2Buy, LLC, [hereafter referred to as Stuff2Host] constitutes agreement to these terms.  You may view our Privacy Policy here.

1) Account Set-up / Email on file

We will setup your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner/partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is not at the domain(s) you are signing up under.  If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is current and up to date at all times. If you have a domain name registered with Stuff2Host, it is your responsibility to ensure that the contact information for your domain account and your actual domain name(s) is correct and up-to-date.  Stuff2Host is not responsible for a lapsed registration due to outdated contact information being associated with the domain. If you need to verify or change this information, you should contact our team via email. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. In dedicated server purchases, or high risk transactions, it will be necessary to provide government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for purchase.  If you fail to meet these requirements, the order may be considered fraudulent in nature and be denied.

2) Transfers

It is your responsibility to transfer data and/or files from your old hosting company to our servers.  As a courtesy, we do offer services to assist you in making the initial transfer of files during the time in which you have hosting with Stuff2Host.

For more information about this service, please contact our team at info@stuff2host.com

When contracted to do so, our transfer team will make every effort to help you move your site to us.  However, we cannot 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 and/or files.  We will try out best to help guide you in transferring data from an old host, but in some cases, we may be unable to assist you and may suggest you contact your old hosting company for guidance.

9) Violations of the Terms of Service will waive any refund policy.

  9a] Resource Usage:  Users may not:

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

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

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

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

5. 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 services.

6. Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities

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

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

9. When using PHP including 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")

  9b] INODES

The user 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.  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. Overtime, tens of thousands of message (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.

  9c] 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.

10) Bandwidth Limit

You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. 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.

11) Service Guarantee

  11a]  Money Back Guarantee

On dedicated servers, and collection, no full refund will be honored -- the 45 day money back guarantee does not apply.  We reserve the right to refund a prorated amount or no refund at all.  Each Stuff2Host's managed shared and reseller servers carry a 45-day unconditional money back guarantee on them.

First-time accounts are eligible for a refund within the first 45 days of service. If you are not completely satisfied with the services of Stuff2Host.com within the first 45 days of service, requests will be refunded on a prorated basis of any unused time. If you have had an account with Stuff2Host before, canceled and signed up again - or if you are opening additional accounts with us now, you are not eligible for a refund under our 45-day service guarantee.

45-day money back guarantee does not apply to dedicated servers, administrative fees, install fees for custom software, domain name purchases/renewals/registration or any web design, marketing or management services incurred.  45-day money back guarantee only applies to monthly shared or reseller packages. Because of the discounts we offer for pre-paid and annual payment plans, we do not issue refunds for unused portions of hosting plans if you cancel, transfer or terminate your account before the end of your paid term.

  11b] Uptime Guarantee

If your shared/reseller server has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime, you may receive on month of credit on your account.  Approval of the credit is at the discretion of Stuff2Host depended 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 info@stuff2host.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.

12) Reseller: Client Responsibility

Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients.  Stuff2Host 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.  For security purposes, all support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients' behalf.  Stuff2Host will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients actions that violate the law or the terms of service.

13) Shared (non-reseller accounts) / Semi dedicated Servers

Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people. If you wish to resell hosting, you must use a reseller account. Semi-dedicated servers are not backed up. You must maintain your own backups.

14) Dedicated Servers

So that we may do security audits as required by our datacenter, Stuff2Host reserves the right to reset the passwords on a dedicated server if the password on file is not current.  To prevent downtime from forced password resets, it will be the responsibility of the client to ensure that there is a valid email address and current root password on file for the dedicated server. Stuff2Host reserves the right to audit servers as needed and to perform administrative actions at the request of our datacenter.  Dedicated servers are NOT backed up by us and it is the responsibility of the client to maintain backups or have a solution for this.  The most simple solution is for you have/purchase an additional hard drive and maintain backups to it. Please contact info@stuff2host.com if you wish to obtain a secondary hard drive. It is your responsibility to maintain backups.

15) Price Change

The amount you pay for hosting will never increase from the date of purchase.  We reserve the right to change prices listed on Stuff2Host.com, and the right to increase the amount of resources given to plans at any time.

16) Coupons/Specials

If you have signed up using a particular domain, you may not resign up for that domain using another coupon at a later date. Any account found in violation of these policies will be reviewed by our sales department and the appropriate invoices will be added to the account. Coupon abuse will not be tolerated and may result in the suspension or termination of the account.

Marketing and advertised specials are often promoted through outside sources such as ebay, Craigslist, print media, radio, newspaper, etc.  The prices and promotions listed on Stuff2Host.com are the most accurate pricing available at the time.  We reserve the right to refuse and/or the right to no longer honor coupons, discounts and advertised specials that may have expired but remain online or in print elsewhere.
