Policy
IVYCOM provides web hosting services to thousands of clients
and thus has a responsibility to protect each client and to
provide the best service possible. The following guidelines
were designed to insure these services.
Content
All services provided by IVYCOM may be used for lawful
purposes only. Transmission, storage, or presentation of any
information, data or material in violation of any United
States Federal, State or City law is prohibited. This
includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material,
material we judge to be threatening or obscene, or material
protected by trade secrets and other statues. The subscriber
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless IVYCOM from any claims
resulting from the use of the service that damages the
subscriber or any other party.
NOTE: Pornography and sex-related
merchandising are not allowed on following Web hosting plans:
Value Plan, Gold Plan, Platinum Plan, and CommercePak. This includes sites that may infer sexual
content, or links to adult content elsewhere. This is also
true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content
that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the
Internet. Links to such materials are also not allowed.
If you wish to host such contents and materials, please
contact us for special plans.
Following materials are strictly prohibited from our network.

Hackers programs or archives
Warez sites

IVYCOM will be the sole arbiter as to what constitutes a
violation of this provision. If you are found to be in
violation our policy, ivycom.com reservers the right to
terminate your account immediately.
Server Resource
Any website or database that uses a high amount of server
resources (such as, but not limited to CPU) will be given an
option of either paying extra (which depends on the resource
needed) or reducing the resource needed to an acceptable
level. IVYCOM shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered
to be a high server usage level.
CGi Scripts
Cgi script sharing with domains not hosted by ivycom.com is
not allowed.
Chat Rooms
IVYCOM
does not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. Chat
rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot permit it as
an account option. IVYCOM does provide a choice of Java
chatrooms for a small extra charge that should meet most
users' needs and run without hindering the performance of the
machine of our servers.
Background Running Programs
IVYCOM
may allow programs to run continually in the background ,
these programs will be considered on an individual basis and
extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used
and operational maintenance needed. If you wish to run
background programs please contact us at support@ivycom.com
before doing so.
IRC
IVYCOM
does not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.
Commercial Advertising -
Email
Spamming, or the sending of mass unsolicited email, from a IVYCOM
server or using an email address that is maintained on
a IVYCOM machine is STRICTLY prohibited. IVYCOM will be the
sole arbiter as to what constitutes a violation of this
provision.
Server Abuse
Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a IVYCOM server or IVYCOM
customer is strictly prohibited.
Any sub-networks of IVYCOM and dedicated servers must adhere
to the above policies. The failure to meet or follow any of
the above guidelines are grounds for account deactivation. We
reserve the right to remove any account with 15 days prior
notice.
