Reseller Accounts

PlanetHTTP does not offer any direct support to our reseller's customers, that is the sole responsibility of the reseller. If you are unable to resolve their support issues, or it is beyond the scope of account privileges please submit a trouble ticket to our support desk. You, the reseller, your customers or clients, and any account which is hosted under your reseller account must abide by PlanetHTTP's Terms of Use Policy.

Server Resources

Any web site that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) will be given the option to either pay additional fees (which will depend on the resources required), reduce the resources used to an acceptable level, or upgrade its service to a VPS or Dedicated Server. PlanetHTTP will be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level. All Web Hosting and Reseller accounts come with a limit of 5,000 files per domain account. Each block of 5,000 files after the initial 5,000 will incur an additional charge of US $9.95/month. Any Web Hosting and Reseller account deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down without prior notice.

Spamming

Sending unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages over the Internet (known as "spamming") is prohibited, regardless of whether or not it overloads a server or disrupts service to PlanetHTTP's customers. The term "spamming" also includes, but is not limited to, maintaining an open SMTP policy, engaging in spamming using the service of another ISP or IPP and referencing in the spam a web site hosted on a PlanetHTTP server, and selling or distributing software (on a web site residing on a PlanetHTTP server) that facilitates spamming. Do not advertise or put our link on any site that is promoted in any way related to unsolicited email, ICQ or IRC spams, or newsgroup postings. Opt-in email newsletters require pre-approval. Please be aware, MRG lists is not acceptable, as well as, any other program that hides the sender email address. We terminate sites without notification when any of these types of programs are discovered.

First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $50 and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of $100 and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed $75 per hour that PlanetHTTP personnel must spend to investigate the matter.

PlanetHTTP reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, what constitutes a violation of this provision.

Bulk Email Policy

We also monitor "Bulk E-mail". Any mailing over 2500 messages must be pre-approved. In addition, any email account sending over 500 messages per day will be considered "Bulk". There are some arrangements that can be made to accommodate a user with a large list which includes extra fees and special mail scheduling software. There is a limit of 250 email per hour that each domain can send out through SMTP. PlanetHTTP reserves the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, what constitutes a violation of this provision.

IP Address Ownership

If PlanetHTTP assigns Customer an Internet Protocol address for Customer's use, the right to use that Internet Protocol address shall belong only to PlanetHTTP, and Customer shall have no right to use that Internet Protocol address except as permitted by PlanetHTTP in its sole discretion in connection with the Services, during the term of this Agreement. PlanetHTTP shall maintain and control ownership of all Internet Protocol numbers and addresses that may be assigned to Customer by PlanetHTTP, and PlanetHTTP reserves the right to change or remove any and all such Internet Protocol numbers and addresses, in its sole and absolute discretion. Our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting.

CGI Scripts

Any scripts that pose a potential security risk or are deemed to be adversely affecting server performance or network integrity will be shut down or will be automatically removed without prior notice. PlanetHTTP does not permit CGI script sharing with domains not hosted by PlanetHTTP or any scripts that may be abused for UCE purposes.

Chat Rooms

PlanetHTTP does not allow Web Hosting and Reseller customers to install their own chat rooms. Chat rooms tend to require significant system resources and therefore cannot be permitted as an account option. PlanetHTTP provides chat rooms that meet most users' needs and run without hindering system performance.

Background Running Programs

PlanetHTTP may allow programs to run in the background. These programs will be considered on an individual basis and Web Hosting and Reseller customers will incur extra charges based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

Performance and Uptime Guarantee

PlanetHTTP guarantees 99.9% network uptime in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance, normal system reboots, emergency system maintenance and abusive accounts. If you experience complete server downtime (which means of all server services such as, but not limited to- apache, mysql, pop, smtp etc.), we will refund 5% of your monthly fee if we cannot restore network connectivity within 120 continuous minutes. If your outage takes longer, we will refund an additional 10% of your monthly fee for each additional 60 continuous minutes (up to 100% of your monthly fee). Network uptime includes functioning of all network infrastructure including routers, switches and cabling, but does not include services or software running on your server. Network downtime exists when a particular client is unable to transmit and receive data, that customers provides us a tracert from their location to our servers (verifying the outage is due to our servers).

This guarantee applies to the network connectivity and server uptime, but does not apply to "acts of god" or "war" or other issues outside of our control. If you have a dedicated server through our network, the same SLA applies. Hosting, dedicated server and VPS Customers SLA does not cover any load issues caused by illegal or mis-configured customer software running on the server. Connectivity is measured as the ability of the server to transmit and receive data, (i.e.: that means if mySQL is down but your website is still working and/or your email is working there is no downtime.

To be eligible for this SLA, your account must be in good standing. To have your account credited under the SLA a trouble ticket must be submitted and verified, you must provide third party documentation verifying the downtime. All requests for credit should be made to the billing department with a trouble ticket number referenced by the 3rd of the following month. Any customer within the PlanetHTTP Network automatically qualifies to participate in this SLA.
