Reasonable Use policy
This policy is subject to change, so please check regularly for updates. This policy is in addition to UIS Online Hosting Terms and Conditions.
1. UIS Online reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's access
to any or all services provided by UIS Online, where UIS Online decides
that the account has been inappropriately used. UIS Online reserves the
right to refuse service and/or access to its network to anyone.
2. UIS Online offer large amounts and unlimited disk space and bandwidth with
some account types. By this, we mean unlimited disk space for legitimate website content and bandwidth for visitors to view it. All files on a domain must
be part of the active website and linked to the site. websites should not
contain any backups, or other non-web based content. We will treat all password
protected archives (e.g. zip and rar) files as unacceptable. Non web files
including, but not limited to exe, mp3, avi, wmf are not permitted on our servers.
3. Scripts and web applications on the website must be designed to produce
web-based content, and not to use the server as an application server. Using
the server to generate large volumes of E-mail from a database is an example
of activity that is not allowed. Scripts and web applications should not
attempt to manipulate the timeouts on servers. These are set at the present
values to ensure the reliability of the server. Sites that reset these do
so because they are resource intensive, and adversely affect server performance
and are therefore not allowed. Scripts and web applications that are designed
to provide proxy services, anonymous or otherwise, are not allowed.
4 . The UIS Online FTP servers may not be used by persons outside of the account
holders organisation to transfer files to our servers. The use of web cam applications
which maintain a constant FTP connection uploading an image at regular intervals
is forbidden.
5. UIS Online will disable any website and domain that fails to adhere to
the following criteria as soon as we are made aware, in line with current working
practices: -
5.1. The primary purpose of any website must be to provide web-based content
to viewers. Files on the site must be linked to the website.
5.2. The primary purpose of any script or web application must be to produce
a web page. Scripts and web applications that send a single E-mail based upon
user entered information, or update a database are acceptable. Scripts and
web applications that send bulk E-mail or perform processor intensive database
processes are not allowed. All outgoing mail is monitored and filtered and
must be sent using authentication from a UIS Online hosted mailbox.
5.3. Database services are for the exclusive use of storing the data of websites hosted on our network and can not be used to store non website data.
5.4. websites must not contain Warez, copyright or other illegal material.
The onus is on you the customer to prove that you own the rights to publish
material, not for UIS Online to prove that you do not.
5.5. websites must not contain pornographic or other lewd material. Adult
Material includes all pornography, erotic images, or otherwise lewd or obscene
content. The designation of "adult material" is left entirely to
the discretion of UIS Online.
5.6. websites must not use excessive amounts of server resources. These include
bandwidth, processor utilization and / or disk space. Please see the 'High
Resource Use Policy' in the Terms and Conditions.
5.7. websites must not contain scripts and web applications that attempt to
access privileged server resources, or other sites on the same server.
5.8. FTP servers are for the exclusive use of our customers and may not be
used for anonymous or pubic FTP access.
