Use of our network is also subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, Policy Statement and Terms of Use and Notices.

Customers are prohibited from providing hosting services for websites that have been included in SPAM. Hosting includes, but is not limited to, hosting website(s), providing DNS services as well as website redirect services.

If you are responding to a complaint of infringement, download and review our procedures for filing a Counter Notification. (Click here) and follow the instructions regarding Counter Notification.

Unlimited Disk Space & Bandwidth

While THE COMPANY may not meter disk space & bandwidth, the purpose of your account is to host a web site. Using a hosting account primarily for online file storage or archiving electronic files is prohibited.
Our hosting services are shared hosting environments, so to ensure fast & reliable service to all of our customers, accounts that adversely affect server or network performance must correct these issues or will be required to upgrade to a separate virtual or dedicated server or be terminated for breach of these conditions.

Network Security

Customers may not use our network as to attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the Customer, logging into a server or account the Customer is not expressly authorized to access, password cracking, probing the security of other networks in search of weakness, or violation of any other organization's security policy.
Customers may not attempt to interfere or deny service to any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not limited to, flooding, mailbombing, or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash a host or network.
Customers will be held liable for incorrect setting of netmasks, routes, or any other network configuration or programming issue which causes unnecessary broadcast or multicast traffic on our network, or denial of service, deliberate or not, caused by forging ARP queries or replies or by configuring IPs into their machine which were not assigned to their server. Any of these actions may result in disconnection of the server at fault from the network and/or correction of the fault at the customer's risk and expense. Any loss of functionality caused by the attempted correction of the problem will be the customer's responsibility to solve. If the malignity of the problem is deemed by THE COMPANY to not warrant such drastic action, the customer will be contacted via the ticketing system to correct the problem himself. Customers are responsible for maintaining their contact information in the ticketing system such that the email address is always reachable even in the event of their hosting servers being shut down.
If your server is the initiator or target of a denial of service attack that adversely affects our/somebody else network, we will terminate your account without warning and you will be held responsible for any charges that may result from this action.
Activities that attract denial of service attacks are expressly prohibited. Customers involved in these activities will be terminated as soon as we are aware of them. These activities include, but are not limited to: selling shell accounts, and involvement with IRC of any kind. This prohibition is for the protection of our customer base as a whole; these kinds of services tend to attract attacks that have the potential to degrade service for all of our customers.
THE COMPANY will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations. Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability. THE COMPANY reserves the right to charge up to $500 per complaint to investigate.

Mandatory Security Updates

From time-to-time, we notify our clients of any exploit we deem potentially catastrophic. For an exploit to be considered catastrophic, it must be attacking widely deployed applications that are in use on a majority of servers. For example, but not limited to, software related to DNS, APACHE, and SENDMAIL.
The security notification will be sent via our customer subscribed mailing list, with a subject line of "Mandatory Security Update". It will provide a synopsis of the exploit, what is effected, and probable repercussions associated with failure to update. In addition, the email will provide a link for customers to download updated software or fixes, or patches, and directions on installing it. Customers are responsible for following the instructions in all " Mandatory Security Update" within 24 hours from their release.
To ensure the security of the clients' servers and to maintain our network integrity, if 24 hours past notification the software at issue has not been updated or patched, THE COMPANY reserves the right to apply all necessary updates, fix any other obvious security holes we may find, and bill the customer's account at the applicable hourly support rate without further notice or customer approval.

Server Interface

THE COMPANY Web Interface and Control Panel are proprietary software, a single Perl script at /usr/local/sbin/interface. Although we do not protect the software with compilation nor with encryption, it is protected under copyright and trade secret laws and is not to be modified nor distributed in any fashion unless authorized in writing by InMotion Hosting. Under no circumstances will we allow changes to the Copyright notice and/or disclaimers on version 2 of the interface (revisions 1.110 and above), since the "Server Interface" Trade Name and logo are already protecting resellers from references to InMotion Hosting.
Requests for modification, including translating into other languages, addition of links or advertising, changes to menus, or customer-specific options, must be sent to sales@inmotionhosting.com and are subject to an approval process by all departments. In general, the only changes approved are those of a general nature, representing an increase in functionality for all customers. Changes for a single customer which would cause more than one concurrent version of the software will not be considered.
Changes which are approved will be done on a prioritized basis by InMotion Hosting technical staff. Expedited processing of a change order can be paid for by a customer, but the changes remain property of InMotion Hosting and may be given to other customers.

Data Backup

Customers are required to maintain their own backups. Under no circumstance will THE COMPANY accept responsibility or liability for data loss as a result of any event.

Bandwidth Charges

Higher levels of traffic may incur overcharges on a monthly basis.

IP Policy (from Inmotion Hosting)

ARIN (the American Registry for Internet Numbers) is becoming very stringent with IP addresses, and refuses to grant them without a strict accounting of use of existing IP's; we must therefore require periodic updates of IP address use. The way we will implement this, for now, is for customers who need more IP addresses to send a blank email to reverse@inmotionhosting.com to get detailed instructions via autoresponder.
Any IP numbers which remain unused after a 30-day period, according to our periodic 'ping' testing, will be subject to reassignment by InMotion Hosting. No prior notice will be given, but we will email you at your current contact address to inform you that we have taken back the IP numbers. You can of course request more when you are ready to use them. And, as stipulated elsewhere, any work incurred in reclaiming unused IP numbers which have been registered as nameservers will be billed at our current administrative services rates.
While we will allocate our customers an "unlimited" number of IP addresses, our allocation of IP addresses is limited by ARIN's new policies. These new policies state that use of IP addresses for IP based virtual hosts will not be accepted as justification for new IP addresses. What this means to you is that you MUST use name-based hosting where possible. We will periodically review IP address usage, and if we find that clients are using IP addresses where name-based hosting could be used, we will revoke authorization to use those IP addresses that could be used with name-based hosting."
InMotion Hosting may assign its customers IP (Internet Protocol) addresses on a temporary basis or for the life of the contract. Customer agrees that IP addresses are not portable, and acknowledges that IP addresses are the sole property of InMotion Hosting and are assigned as part of the services. Furthermore, client acknowledges that use of IP addresses not allocated by InMotion Hosting to customer or users is expressively prohibited and will incur a penalty fee.
This fee would be calculated on a standard engineers hourly rate fee of $150 separate from any other service or incident fees prepaid by customer. At the conclusion of Customer's contract, Customer is required to provide a copy of an Authorized domain registrar (i.e. Network Solutions) records, showing that Customer's hostname servers no longer claim the use of our IP addressed we have provided to customer. This document must be delivered to InMotion Hosting within 10 days after the effective contract termination date.

General Conduct

Customers are prohibited from transmitting on or through any of THE COMPANY's services, any material that is, in THE COMPANY's sole discretion, unlawful, obscene, threatening, abusive, libelous, or encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law.
THE COMPANY's services may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission, distribution, or storage of any information, data or material in violation of United States or state regulation or law, or by the common law, is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, material protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, or any other statute. THE COMPANY reserves the right to remove such illegal material from its servers.
The customer is responsible for keeping his billing data with THE COMPANY up-to-date and accurate. Furnishing false data on any contract or application, including fraudulent use of credit card numbers, is grounds for immediate termination, and may subject the offender to civil or criminal liability.
The resale of THE COMPANY's products and services is not permitted, unless specifically permitted and documented in a written agreement.
Important IP Disclosure: InMotion Hosting may assign customer a reasonable amount of IP addresses (Internet Protocol) on a temporary basis or for the life of the contract. Client agrees that IP addresses are not portable and acknowledges that IP addresses are the sole property of InMotion Hosting and are assigned as part of the services. Furthermore, client acknowledges that use of IP addresses not allocated by InMotion Hosting to customer or users is expressively prohibited and will incur a penalty fee. This fee would be calculated on a standard engineers hourly rate fee of $150 separate from any other service or incident fees prepaid by customer.
Facilitating a violation of this AUP: Software, services, programs, activities, and advertisements that promote, enable, or facilitate any activity that is prohibited within this document, including spam, denial of service attacks, compromise of other systems or attempts to compromise other systems are ALL considered to be violations of this AUP.
To insure the quality of service of our shared hosting clients, InMotion Hosting reserves the right to migrate high resource utilizing clients to servers which may, or may not, incorporate stated 'business class hardware'.
