25. Domain Registrations

We are a Nominet Registrar and as such may provide you with a domain name via Nominet. Please be aware that by registering a .uk domain name, you are bound by Nominet's Terms and Conditions https://www.nominet.uk/uk-domains/policies

All non-UK domains are provisioned through our registrar partner UK2 Group. As such we cannot guarantee the availability of a particular domain, however, any charges incurred in the registration of a domain which is subsequently found to be unavailable will be refunded in full.

Both UK and non-UK domains are provisioned through third-party registrars.

Please note that the registrars may reject the registration of a domain if invalid information is provided at the time of order. All TLDs and ccTLDs have differing validation requirements which are also subject to change. As such we are not responsible for the validation of such data and it is your responsibility to check that a domain registration has been completed by the receipt of a 'domain registration confirmation' email. In the unlikely event a domain is rejected by the registrar, you will not receive such an email and we would need to be alerted to investigate this with the registrar directly and process the registration manually.

You must not use the Hosting Services as a backup facility or file-share. Therefore, all files uploaded to our servers as part of your usage of the Hosting Services must be visible and accessible to the outside world (web-visible) unless they are needed to operate the website of which they form part; We reserve the right to delete files or directories that fall within any of these terms without giving notice to you.

All pages of websites stored on our servers as part of the Hosting Services will be available to search engines unless you take action to prevent this. If you wish to optimise your web pages for search engines you agree to use coding and techniques which comply fully with the guidelines issued by Google, Bing, Yahoo and other large search engines.

MySQL Databases may be limited to 1024 megabytes in size at our discretion. Databases in excess of this size may, only via prior consent, be run under our supervision.

10. For Hosting Accounts

Your use of the server resources shall not endanger the capacity and operation of the shared server.

Any shared or reseller hosting service/account may use no more than the resources outlined against its package.

Accounts that are deemed to exceed those resource limits (by examination of LVE faults or at the discretion of WebHostingMix) will be suspended pending further investigation.

Where we deem necessary and within our discretion, we reserve the right to account removal, without guarantee of backup availability to ensure the stability of the service to others on the same shared server/environment.

We may provide a 'burstable' allowance ahead of the resources available to the chosen package, which is provided solely at our discretion. We may on occasion burst the resources of a particular account to maintain the stability of the service/server your account is hosted on.

If we see excessive faults/usage against a particular account, we reserve the right to maintain suspension/removal on a permanent basis.

In all cases of over usage, we will try to provide an alternative solution, which in most cases may incur an alternative charge or service, either by ourselves or a 3rd party recommendation.

11. For Resellers

As a reseller, you agree that you are bound to the above terms, and any other terms outlined within all sections of our Terms and Conditions.

Alongside these terms, you as a reseller agree not to:

1. Re-sell or offer for the use of third parties any part of our hosting services unless a specific reseller product has been purchased
2. not to access without authority, interfere with, damage or disrupt any part of the hosting service, any equipment or network used to provide the hosting services, any software used in the provision of the hosting services
3. suspended accounts / deactivated accounts may be removed at our discretion following 7 calendar days

You agree that it is your responsibility as the reseller of good housekeeping of the service offered to you.

You agree that it is your responsibility to monitor, and delete files/accounts that are in breach of any of our outlined terms

It is within our discretion to terminate or remove a reseller account, should there be repeat attempts to breach the outlined terms and conditions without prior warning.

Whilst the number of accounts can be considered unlimited, we retain the right to impose limits in cases whereby the usage is deemed 'excessive' or is consuming more than 25% of the servers' overall usage. In such cases, WebHostingMix will try to offer an alternative solution, by means of secondary or replacement products/upgrades.

12. Disk Usage Provision

The content on your website must be linked from an HTML or similarly coded web page with all content freely available to the public. Your website must consist of web pages of a standard design, essentially HTML based text and graphics. Your hosting account should consist mostly of html and php files.

Downloadable files, media, databases must comply with the following limitations:

1. A maximum of 5GB of a shared hosting account can be allocated to music, video or other multimedia files including but not limited to .aac, .avi, .mp3, .mp4, .mpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif files;

4. A maximum of 1GB of a shared hosting account can be allocated to Executable files and all other files which are the result of compiling a program.

Any user whose account/server employs the higher burstable resources on a consistent basis shall agree to upgrade it to a package with higher resource availability.

Under its sole discretion, WebHostingMix reserves the right to determine any kind of unfair or inappropriate usage of any content which may result in immediate account suspension or upgrade to a package with higher resource availability. The decision to upgrade shall rest solely with WebHostingMix and shall be made at its reasonable discretion.

WebHostingMix reserve the right to remove the following extensions (by example, but not exclusive to) without prior warning, and at its sole discretion - mp3, mp4, tar.gz, zip, .wpress, .jpa, .exe, wav

13. Backup Limitations

Any shared hosting account that uses more than 10GB of disk space or contains more than 200,000 inodes may be removed from our weekly or daily backups. Any user whose hosting account is using more than 10GB of disk space or contains more than 200,000 inodes is solely responsible for maintaining the copy of his/her account.

Softaculous backups will be removed from the server and no copy will exist.

Plugins used for backups may not store local backups within the account quota and may only be stored 'offsite' with an arranged cloud storage provider, such as Google Drive or S3. Any backups left on the system, or excessive backups retained may lead to account suspension or removal.

The above extensions may on occasion also be removed from account storage automatically, to ensure stability / free storage capacity on any shared server /service.

Automatic backups are only available where stated within the marketing collateral for that particular product. Unless otherwise stated, we will not retain backups (for example, VPS servers / dedicated servers).

Our standard shared/reseller backup schedule is as follows…

• 7 Daily Backups
• 4 Weekly Backups

Backups are stored off-site, and are managed from within the hosting account.

Whilst we will maintain every effort to ensure backups are complete and available, WebHostingMix cannot be held responsible where backup data is missing or corrupt.

When an account is terminated/removed either by us or the reseller (either through purpose, or human error), we may hold backups of the removed account for a maximum of 48 hours. The standard retention policy does not apply post-removal.

14. Email Services

You should use email and other related services in full compliance with the terms below:

In order to safeguard overall server performance, the WebHostingMix workspace service comes with a permitted relay allowance of 250 messages per hour, per domain.

Our Premium products may offer varying/increased sending limits.

For Shared Hosting accounts, email storage shall not exceed the 10GB limit per mailbox (or 30GB in total for an individual 'account')

For Shared or Reseller hosting accounts, there must not exceed 30 email addresses provisioned for a single user.

For IMAP/POP3 mailboxes, You may perform up to 100 email checks per hour.

For POP3, You may perform up to 10 concurrent connections to the email system per IP address on Shared and Reseller servers, and up to 20 concurrent connections to the email system per IP address on Business and Email servers.

For IMAP, You may perform up to 30 concurrent connections to the email system per IP address on Shared, Reseller, Business and Email servers.

WebHostingMix may, at its sole discretion, limit the volume of email messages You can deliver through our services. WebHostingMix may limit email volume by queuing Your email messages internally, or by temporarily rejecting requests to send email through our services. WebHostingMix may block any message You attempt to submit using our services, for any reason whatsoever, with or without notifying You of such blocking. Under no circumstances will WebHostingMix be liable to You or any other party for any indirect, special, economic or consequential damages (including without limitation lost profits) arising out of email blocking or queuing.

15. Upgrade to VPS / Elastic Cloud

Each hosting account can be upgraded to a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or the Elastic Cloud. The upgrade is performed by WebHostingMix after You have paid the first month's fee. The fee depends on the VPS type chosen by You and is non-refundable. Prorate amount for unused time of the shared hosting account will not be refunded, it will be added to Your account balance in the event of an upgrade to VPS. Once the account is transferred to the VPS the Virtual hosting account is terminated and the new VPS account use is governed by the following terms.

Certain situations may deem an upgrade to a VPS, in order to move an account, or service away from services or servers shared by others, such as excessive resource consumption.

16. IPv4 Usage Policy

Due to the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space we actively conserve IP address space by limiting the IP addresses each web hosting account can use.

Shared hosting accounts may each use only 1 IP address.

Reseller hosting accounts may use up to 10 IP addresses. The number of IPs that are included and the account may use up to are indicated in the plan specification.

The IP address limit is a per account, not a per customer basis. Customers may hold multiple accounts to get access to additional IP addresses. We strongly urge customers to only use IP addresses for essential use and we do require justification for usage.

The provision of additional IP addresses will be chargeable.

17. VPS Fair Usage

Use of Traffic (Bandwidth)

Your account monthly traffic may be limited in accordance with the VPS Type. The additional bandwidth is paid and applied on a monthly basis. The fee is non-refundable. If the monthly traffic limit is reached before the end of the month Your account will be suspended until the beginning of the next month.

Disk Space Usage

Your account disk space is limited in accordance with the VPS Type. Up to 4 GB from the disc space is allocated to the VPS system files and this space cannot be used for storing Your content.

Additional Services

The initial and renewal fees for each VPS include the number of IPs in accordance with VPS type. Additional IPs can be added to a VPS. In such a case WebHostingMix will charge the appropriate fee for the dedicated IP. The fee is applied and should be paid on a per month basis. The fee is non-refundable.

You can order Additional RAM as extra features to Your VPS account(s). WebHostingMix will charge the appropriate fee for the additional RAM, depending on the amount of RAM ordered. The fee is applied and paid on a monthly basis. The fee is non-refundable. Renewal fee is due for the Additional RAM each month after the initial order, until the upgrade or the VPS account itself is cancelled. You are solely responsible to make the renewal payments in a timely manner. In case no renewal payment is received, WebHostingMix will remove the additional RAM or will suspend the whole VPS account until receiving additional RAM renewal payment.

VPS Servers are not included in r daily, or weekly backups. We strongly encourage you to utilise a remote backup facility in the case of data loss or corruption which may be irretrievable. WebHostingMix cannot be held liable for the loss of data within a VPS.

18. VPS Management

As part of our VPS products, we may include 'management', which is available in the following tiers…

Unmanaged

Managed

Your management offering is ideal for those who are able to handle the day-to-day operations of your server but would require occasional assistance. Our managed VPS option may be included as standard with your VPS purchase, but support/assistance will be limited to 1 hour monthly. Additional management hours can be purchased or may be billed at the standard rate of £75+VAT per hour. The support team under a basic management plan will not access a server and will provide only documentation or references to assist in terms of diagnosing any potential issues within the server.

Fully Managed / Monitored

Our highest level of management allows us to provide full server administration with up to 3 hours of technical assistance / consultation monthly. We will also monitor your server pro-actively, via our Nagios / check_mk monitoring suite. Tasks will be carried out on request - urgent upgrades /patches will be carried out automatically.

Monitoring levels will vary according to the scale of a project - WebHostingMix reserves the right to increase / decrease management costs in order to provide a bespoke support offering.
