SiteWebHosting.net requires all Customers / subscribers to be good Citizens of the Internet.

We do not tolerate SPAM (unsolicited commercial Email). SPAM is a plague on the Internet.

The following activities are expressly prohibited:

1. SPAM / Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE)

Do not SPAM, facilitate SPAM or allow your customers to SPAM. Do not host, or allow to be hosted, any sites or information that is advertised by SPAM from other networks. Violation of this policy carries severe penalties and will be pursued to the fullest extent possible including criminal and civil prosecution.

We understand that there will be a few complaints any time large quantities of Email are sent. However, SiteWebHosting.net must respond promptly to SPAM complaints in order to prevent our IP address space from being blocked.

Your service will be disconnected without refund if:

You don't have an opt-in list. We expect you to be able to respond to complaints with the source of the person's Email address who complained. The use of "harvested" email lists where addresses have been taken from web sites is grounds for immediate termination of service.

You don't have a removal process that permanently removes recipients from your lists and sends confirmations via Email.

You forge header information or improperly identify the sender.

You don't respond to inquiries from SiteWebHosting.net Abuse within one business day.

Anti-SPAM actions against you threaten SiteWebHosting.net's network or IP address space.

After your first warning from the SiteWebHosting.net Abuse Department you will be charged at $99 / hour if we must further process SPAM complaints. In the event that emergency action is required by SiteWebHosting.net to resolve actions by anti-SPAM organizations to blacklist SiteWebHosting.net IP addresses or other threats to the SiteWebHosting.net network you will be charged at our emergency double-time rate of $198 / hour with a one hour minimum.

Do not setup an open mail relay that is not password protected that can allow spammers to send SPAM. Please contact us if you have questions.
