Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

To keep Futured Hosting's hosting service prices low, we enforce a very strict Acceptable Use Policy. Please note that the Acceptable Use Policy is in addition to the Terms Of Service, and may contain thins which are already in the Terms Of Service.

1. Futured Hosting reserves the right to suspend or terminate any hosting account at any time, with or without notice if Futured Hosting decides the hosting account has been used inappropriately. Futured Hosting reserves the right to refuse service to anyone, with or without given reason.

2. All files in a hosting account must be part of the active web site and linked to the site. Web sites 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. In most circumstances, media files and program files are prohibited from the server, but you are permitted to have a very small amount, for example, if you are selling music or programs which you created, or an e-book you created, you can host it on Futured Hosting servers, as long as they are not taking up too much space. The amount of space you are allowed to use for media, or program files is left at the discretion of Futured Hosting staff. If we decide you are taking up to much space, we will notify you to backup and remove the files, or we will remove them. If you have excessive amounts of media files on your hosting account (the amount is left at the discretion of Futured Hosting), you may risk you account being suspended, or terminated.

3. Scripts and web applications on the web site must be designed to produce web-based content, and not to use the server as an application server, for example, encoding files on the server, or encrypting or decrypting using server resources. Scripts and web applications should not attempt to manipulate or exploit or damage servers. These are set at the present values to ensure the reliability of the server. Scripts and web applications that are designed to provide proxy services, anonymous or otherwise, are strictly prohibited.

4. You are not allowed to share file access to your hosting account with the public. Sharing your account with someone who is helping you set up or run the website is allowed, but you must not allow public access to this server, or your files. If you do this, you will be immediately suspended, if your password was stolen we will reset it and give back your account, a second offense will mean immediate account termination.

5. You must not make constant connections to Futured Hosting FTP servers, for instance running a public webcam service/streaming your webcam to video files on the server, or uploading images at constant, small, intervals are examples of things which are prohibited.

6. You MUST spread out your usage, if you are given 50GB bandwidth, you must not use it all in one day. We have a policy that you must never use more than 5 times they amount you get if you divide the amount of bandwidth you have per month by 30.

Examples of unacceptable material:
1. Any Thing that is Illegal to Host.
2. Phishing, Spamming Scripts/Sites.
3. Child Pornography.
4. Warez, Cracks, Copyrighted Audio/Video.
5. Compressed RAR/ZIP Files.
6. File/Image Sharing scripts/sites, Rapid Leech Scripts.
7. Proxy, Newsletter [Email Marketing] Scripts
8. Any Kind of Server Abusive Script/Program/Virus etc.
9. Terrorist Activities Sites.
10. IRC (Internet Relay Chat).

Non reseller accounts:
You must not attempt to resell your web space on shared account. You are permitted to "share" it with a friend, but running a public/private hosting business on it is strictly prohibited, any shared sites found to be doing this, will be suspended, or forced to purchase a reseller account if they want to continue.

Resellers responsibility:
Resellers bought from Futured Hosting are responsible for the files their clients host. If the resellers do not properly take precautions, and actions against clients violating these Terms of Service, their accounts may have to be suspended, due to their negligence. Futured Hosting, and its server owners will not be held responsible for what resellers clients host under their accounts. Futured Hosting will try its best to take necessary action against people violating these Terms of Service, or US or UK law.

Resellers must not offer free hosting. This is to pretend our server from abusive works. Because it is believed that most of the free hosting users get hosting for free to do illegal works such as spamming, phishing etc.

Reseller Users (Unlimited) Restriction:
Unlimited Reseller Hosting users can't create or have accounts more than:
Reseller Hosting (Diamond Plan): 150
Master Reseller (Plan 3): 200
Alpha Master Reseller (Plan 3): 250

Changes in service price:
Futured Hosting reserves the right to change the prices of its hosting plans a any time. This only applies to recurring payments or new customers.

It means that if you buy 3 months of hosting, and the price changes during your contract period, you will not have to pay more to keep your hosting account active until the contract period ends. If you want to continue the hosting, then you will have the pay the higher, or lower price. If you find that you cannot afford to pay the price of the new hosting, we will give you 2 days to backup your account until it is terminated.
