1. Service scope
Unlimited resources are for legitimate website use
Some account types include unlimited web space and bandwidth. “Unlimited” means space used for legitimate website content and bandwidth used by visitors to access that content.
2. Content
Acceptable Use Policy still applies
Websites must not contain material that violates the content guidelines in our Acceptable Use Policy.
3. Burstable resources
Temporary bursts are allowed; sustained excessive use is not
Some services provide unlimited, burstable bandwidth and burstable RAM. These resources may be used temporarily in a burstable manner, but must not be consumed continuously at an unreasonable level.
4. Mailboxes
Mailbox allowances are subject to fair use
Some account types include large numbers of mailboxes. The following conditions apply:
- Mailboxes are intended for direct use by the package owner and may not be resold or offered for use by third parties.
- If an individual hosted website has more than 100 active mailboxes, FreeHosting.com may restrict the number included in the package price.
- Mailboxes that have not been accessed for 180 days may be treated as inactive and deleted together with their contents.
5. Hosted files
Storage must support the active website
Hosting space is for files required to operate the website hosted on the account.
- The Services may not be used as a file backup store.
- The Services may not be used as a file exchange service.
- User-generated backups must be downloaded promptly to local storage and then removed from the server so they do not occupy hosting storage.
- Files uploaded to a domain must be visible and accessible through that domain, except hidden files required for normal website operation.
- Files stored on a domain must form part of the active website hosted on our servers and be linked to the site.
6. Download content
Downloads must be directly related to the website
HTTP downloads may only be offered when the files are directly related to the subject matter of the site. We recommend streaming multimedia content, including audio and video, rather than offering it as direct downloads.
FreeHosting.com may archive or remove download content that, in its discretion, is not necessary for normal website operation.
How this policy fits with the Terms
Use of the Services is also subject to the General Terms & Conditions and the Acceptable Use Policy. These documents should be read together.
