You’re free to put up anything with a genuine purpose and does not hurt anyone by it’s nature.
Other than that you are PROHIBITED from putting any content that’s related to the following: (If found, our staff & fraud scripts will FIND AND REMOVE THEM INSTANTLY.)
Things Not To Do:
1. Phishing of any site — especially MySpace, eBay, PayPal, Facebook, Live ID and banks.
This is when scammer creates a fake company site that looks real. And tricks unsuspecting visitors to enter their username/password, in hopes of obtaining their personal info like credit card.
2. Using your domain to spam other sites.
Do you like getting spam? Nope. Does the next person you’re targeting? Nope. Then don’t do it! This includes spam via email or including your USERNAME.Letwebhost.com in unsolicited emails (risking Letwebhost getting blacklisted).
3. Hosting Proxy Scripts (like PHProxy).
These are scripts that allow a visitor to enter any domain through your site, and the domain won’t pickup the visitors true I.P. address. They are way too CPU resource intensive.
4. Loading your account page(s) from another site with an IFRAME.
EG: <iframe src=”http://USERNAME.Letwebhost.com/mypage.htm”></iframe>
This is blatantly stealing server resources. Same like me secretly leeching 10% of your weekly salary! Bots find these accounts via referrer logs and delete them instantly.
5. Creating Doorway Pages (eg using Doorway Page Generator PRO)
Yea and you think we don’t know about infested-muffified-sheep who create these keyword stuffed redirect pages, that damage our status & waste visitors time. These pages are easily found using an algorithm and removed automatically.
6. Hosting Torrent Scripts (like TorrentFlux, SendSpace, RapidLeech).
This is when torrents are downloaded to Letwebhost servers and you later on download it to your PC. Torrents rape & scrape the hard-drives and greatly shorten their lifespan.
7. Hosting Torrent Trackers (like Azureus, BitComet, BitTornado, Shareaza).
Torrent Trackers are one of the most CPU consuming scripts alive! And Letwebhost must pay hundreds for monthly bandwidth to support the selfish clowns using them.
8. Using your account mainly for file storage of images, videos or music.
Letwebhost is a text content provider. It’s not a place to mainly backup/store your files. Because uploading/download large files needs the hard drive head to move a lot. Hence reducing their life span, and decreasing I/O performance for everyone. For media/file storage see this file hosting directory.
9. Hosting Radio Blogs.
Not allowed for same reason as above point. These imply you’ll be hosting tons of music files on your account.
10. Hosting scripts that constantly write data to MySQL usually by tracking something.
These includes examples: OpenX, Adsense trackers & site indexers/spiders.
Because this activity constantly needs the hard drive head to move in order to write/read the new data. And this activity shortens hard drive life-span.
11. Hosting Chat Rooms (or) IRC bots.
Most paid hosting providers don’t even allow this due to scripts nature to kill system resources. If found, account is deleted and the next day you’ll fall in a sewage hole.
12. Hosting your own PHP file manager.
Using your own file manager (to upload, delete, etc… files) puts a security risk on the network. Hence not allowed. Yes we’re also talking about c99 hack type of scripts.
13. Sales or promotion of beer, hard alcohol, tobacco or drugs.
This especially includes pharmaceutical medicines and stimulators like Viagra and Cialis. Because these are usually spam pages, and pose legal threats to Letwebhost incase the drug sends the buyer to space (nice name for death).
14. Using copyright content without permission or storing illegal files on your account.
Includes software/cracks/scripts. These infringe the copyrights of the authors or companies and disrespect their hard work, labour & time. You wouldn’t like your stuff being distributed or sold online without your permission. So don’t do it to others.
15a. Pornography. As of July 2010, adult sites are no longer allowed on Letwebhost.com servers. Those currently hosting adult sites on our servers should take steps to transfer your site to our adult web hosting partner. To make this transition smoother our partner has graciously offered current Letwebhost.com adult hosters a coupon code, “Letwebhost” that will save you 20% on your adult hosting purchase.
15b. Child porn. Anyone uploading images or participating in the exploitation of children on this website will be turned into authorities. No pornography is allowed on Letwebhost.com.
15c. Letwebhost.com reservers the right to suspend and delete, without notice, any adult related site hosted on our servers. We will make every effort to contact site owners in advance before suspending accounts.
15d. Current adult site owners and future adult site owners are encouraged to visit:
http://www.Letwebhost.com/adult-web-hosting.php
16. Having incorrect/garbage name or address filed on your account.
Eg: A name like “Aaadfdf Ffdfsf” or address like “44444444 Ptrc Rd”. This tells us that you have not read our TOS and don’t respect the service.
17. Not having a homepage in your root folder– or having original ‘Account Created’ page 15+ days of your signup date.
Also includes not having a proper website while having uploaded tons of files to your account, hence using your account mainly for file storage, which is not allowed.
* Furthermore rudeness to staff members for support will NOT be tolerated under any conditions. And in repetitive occurrences you’ll be banned from all support mediums. Meaning you’re on your own.
