Refunds
Hosting Refunds are issued within 30 days of your hosting sign-up. Termination of your account for violation of this TOS is permanent grounds for non-refund. Domain registration fees are not available because we do not register them ourselves; rather, a third-party registers the domains. Instead of a refund for domain registration, we will transfer the domain to you.
General Information
- Space: The space on your website is yours to use. Constant monitoring should be done if you plan to allow FTP access to your website for uploading. You take full responsibility for every file located on your website. Hosting of illegal files, or anything not allowed in this TOS agreement will result in suspension of your account until future investigation is made.
- Account Data Loss: We do not personally create backups for your website files. You are responsible for these backups and we will not be held accountable for the loss of files.
- Account Termination: We reserve the right to suspend your account if we suspect you are violating this TOS agreement. We will talk with you before deciding if you are not allowed at Minthost.
- Misuse of Resources: The misuse of resources, including but not limited to employing applications that consume excessive CPU time are prohibited.
- Content: If you are unsure if the content is all right for you to post, please contact us first. We will give a response for your inquire very shortly.
- Domain Registration: If we register a domain for you, we register it under our company name. If you decide to move your site to another host or just want your domain, you can email us and we will transfer it to you. You should have the domain with us for at least a week before asking us to transfer it to you.
- Keeping your scripts updated: You are responsible to keep your scripts installed on your account updated. If you are running outdated scripts you are taking the risk of allowing your account to be compromised and possible damage to the server. If we find an account that has been compromised we will suspend the account and contact the owner. If this happens more then once we may ask you to find another hosting provider.
