Hosting-Network.net's services may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission of any material in violation of International, Federal or State regulation is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to: material legally judged to be threatening or obscene, or material protected by trade secret laws.

All sites being hosted with Hosting-Network.net MUST have a home page and will be a true site. If we find that you are using the server just for storing data we will be in contact with you and deal with the issue accordingly. We have found so many do this for warez sites. We review all sites from time to time.

If you are found in violation of the Hosting-Network.net's Hosting Acceptable User Policy and Terms of Use, then your account will be terminated without notice and you will forfeit all of the money that has been paid to Hosting-Network.net.

Examples of content that is not acceptable on Hosting-Network.net's Servers: "Pirated software" or "Warez", "Hacker programs and/or data archives", "IRC Bots", "Gambling Related", "Copyrighted Mp3's", cgi-based message boards & PHP message boards web sites, which are nothing but a forum site. If this so called site is found using up the server's resources then that site will be locked until you are able to make changes. If you want to run a 100% forum site we suggest you get an account at www.ezboard.com and add their code to your site. There will be no free DOWNLOAD Sites. If you have a Download section you will have to have users log in to that section. Free Download links on your site can kill the sever as one person can post that link all over the web. So no free downloads. No free web hosting is allowed at all.

Warez - Includes pirated software, ROMS, emulators, phreaking, hacking, and password cracking. As well as IP spoofing, and encrypting of any of the above. Also includes any sites which provide "links to" or "how to" information about such material.
