  • Shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia archives
  • Mirror sites

CGI Scripts
Each account comes with its own cgi-bin. You are free to use any CGI scripts you wish, however we reserve the right to disable any CGI script that effects normal server operation.

Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one to one basis and an extra charge will be incured based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

IRC
We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers.

Commercial Advertising - Email:
Our servers may not be the source, intermediary, or destination address involved in the transmission of spam, flames, or mail bombs. Your domain may not be referenced as originator, intermediary, or reply-to address in any of the above. We consider spam to be any unsolicited commercial email (UCE) or unsolicited bulk email (UBE) in the mediums of Newsgroups, Email, and Fax. If you are found to have spammed, then we will immediately, without warning, disable your domain. A $500 abuse fee plus $1 per email and $95/hr rate to clean up the server from any abuse will be imposed against the offender.

As such, any violation will result in immediate deactivation of services without refund.

Server Abuse:
Any attempts to undermine or cause harm to a server is strictly prohibited.

Refusal of Service:
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel service at our sole discretion.

If any terms or conditions are failed to be followed it will result in grounds for immediate account deactivation and fines and fees.
