Email Policy And Limits

As per our current Email Policy and the limits specified in it, you are not allowed to indulge in mass mailing, which is strictly forbidden by us. You are expected to use the provided email services judiciously and not misuse the specified limits by treating any of our hosting services (Shared Hosting, Dedicated Hosting, VPS Hosting, Reseller Hosting and Dedicated Servers) as a Mass Mailing Product.

You are strictly prohibited to exhaust or exceed the limit of sending 50 emails in an hour on a regular basis or in every single hour of a day/days. If you are found to be violating this rule by regularly or daily exhausting or exceeding the specified limit of 50 emails/hour, then our system shall consider this as mass mailing and it shall automatically bar you from sending any mail then onward.

Shared And Reseller Plan Mail Limitations

i) 50 Hourly Maximum Outgoing Email Limit- We have a limit of maximum 50 hourly outgoing emails, which is applicable on all Shared and Reseller servers, on a per domain basis. This enables every addon and subdomain to have a limit of 50 outgoing emails per hour. This is applicable to mailing lists. When a user exceeds this limit by sending more than 50 emails in any given hour, the user’s emails might bounce back and show an undeliverable error.

ii) If there is an indication that your email got flagged as spam in shared hosting or any hosting plan we would like to inform you that we don't offer professional email services in shared hosting which means we don't guarantee about the emails to be sent in inbox, you can contact us by dropping an email or by raising a ticket or by contacting your Relationship Manager..

VPS Plan And Dedicated Server Mail Limitations

i) Our Dedicated Servers as well as our VPS accounts can receive and send an unlimited number of emails and do not fall under the mail restrictions that have been listed in the section immediately prior to this, that had to do with Shared and Reseller Plan Mail Limitations. However, the emails sent by you should not be unsolicited and/or spam. Moreover, you cannot use our VPS/dedicated servers as mail servers. The emails sent by you should not create any negative impact on the IP that is provided by us. If you carry out any of these activities then we have the right to suspend your account without any prior notice, take appropriate legal action and you will be required to pay a penalty.

ii) For our Dedicated Servers and VPS, we recommend the users to use a double opt-in list or a safelist.

A double opt-in requires the confirmation with regard to all email addresses prior to those being added. This is unlike a single opt-in list in which email addresses are not confirmed and anyone’s address can be submitted to the list by anyone. In a double opt-in list a confirmation request is sent to the email address that has been submitted. In response to it, the email address owner must initiate the necessary action to confirm that he/she is the email address’ owner; the address is fully functional and he/she wants to subscribe for sure. Usually the confirmation action involves responding to confirmation request or clicking a link.

A safelist refers to a group of individuals who have agreed to get emails from each other. Membership is required to be in such a group. Additionally, it has rules that specify the frequency of sending emails to the members of the group.

SPAM

i) Spam includes unsolicited commercial emails and unsolicited bulk emails. We strictly prohibit the use of our services and products to transmit spam. We also prohibit the use of the email addresses that are maintained by us. With regard to our services and products, HTS Solutions is the sole arbiter regarding what constitutes a violation of our spam policy. If we receive any notification with regard to any alleged violation of our spam policy, then we will investigate the matter and during the entire period of investigation we are authorized to restrict such a user’s access to our service in order to prevent further violations.

ii) If the investigation establishes that the user has violated our spam policy, then it will result in severe penalties; which include, depending on our sole discretion, either restriction or suspension or termination of the hosting account that has violated our spam policy. Additionally, any user account that has been restricted/suspended/ terminated for violating our spam policy cannot claim any refund. HTS Solutions will be the sole arbiter in this matter.

iii) In the context of violation of our spam policy, if required and deemed necessary by us, especially if the violation counts as a criminal offence, we will notify the law enforcement authority and we have the right to take appropriate legal action. Moreover, if needed, we reserve the right to take the necessary steps in the form of civil solutions with regard to the investigation related costs.

iv) If any user uses our services and products for hosting such websites or for carrying out activities that support spamming and spammers, or their activities result in any of our IP space getting listed in any Spam Database, then such a user’s account will be immediately suspended, without any prior notice.

v) A zero-tolerance policy is followed by us when our products and services are used for posting such messages and/or advertisements that violate the rules and regulations of any newsgroup or mailing list. Only those messages (commercial and non-commercial) are permitted that are deemed appropriate as per the rules of newsgroups and mailing lists and/or those that are solicited by the recipients.

vi) Open relays or anonymous remailer service are prohibited on all our services. Open relays refer to mail daemons, which allow unauthenticated emails to be sent to a valid local user.

Backup Policy

i) As per our backup policy, you use our products and services at your sole risk, and you agree to bear the responsibility of maintaining backups of all your User Content on your own to ensure easy access to it when you need it.

You agree to accept the risk of losing partly or entirely your User Content and account related data when you use our products and services, and we bear no responsibility for such a loss.

iii) Shared, Dedicated, Reseller Hosting- We run daily and monthly backup cycles for our shared, dedicated and reseller hosting accounts. We provide daily incremental backup cycle, and monthly full backup cycle to the users of our shared, dedicated and reseller hosting plans. The backup includes the total data in your account at the time of the backup.

iv) VPS Backup/ Snapshot- We run weekly backup cycles for the users of our VPS. The last one week’s backup is maintained by us at any given point of time and each consecutive run overwrites the previous backups.

v) Dedicated Servers- We do not provide any backup service to the users of our dedicated servers. The users of our dedicated servers should maintain their own backup to prevent data loss.

Uptime

i) Any downtime or service interruption that results from our or our network provider’s scheduled maintenance is excluded from our uptime guarantee.

ii) We are not liable in any way for third party services’ failure.

iii) We are not liable for any failure or delay in carrying out our obligations when such a failure or delay has been caused by circumstances that are not in our reasonable control. These circumstances can include but are not limited to governmental acts, sabotage, accidents caused by fire, strike and/or any labour related disturbance, insurrection, embargo, war, natural disasters, unavailability of/delay/interruption in transportation as well as telecommunications and third party services, which include DNS propagation, third party software or hardware’s failure, inability to source raw materials, power, supplies, equipment that are required for providing our services and products.

Resources’ Policy

ii) If there is an indication that your email got flagged as spam as it exceeded the limit of 100 emails/hour, we suggest you to wait until the next hour begins and then carry on sending emails with the per hour limit in mind. In the unlikely situation where this problem persists, you can contact us by dropping an email or by raising a ticket or by contacting your Relationship Manager.

However, the emails sent by you should not be unsolicited and/or spam. Moreover, you cannot use our VPS/dedicated servers as mail servers. The emails sent by you should not create any negative impact on the IP that is provided by us. If you carry out any of these activities then we have the right to suspend your account without any prior notice, take appropriate legal action and you will be required to pay a penalty.

ii) For our Dedicated Servers and VPS, we recommend the users to use a double opt-in list or a safelist.

A double opt-in requires the confirmation with regard to all email addresses prior to those being added. This is unlike a single opt-in list in which email addresses are not confirmed and anyone’s address can be submitted to the list by anyone. In a double opt-in list a confirmation request is sent to the email address that has been submitted. In response to it, the email address owner must initiate the necessary action to confirm that he/she is the email address’ owner, the address is fully functional and he/she wants to subscribe for sure. Usually the confirmation action involves responding to confirmation request or clicking a link.

A safelist refers to a group of individuals who have agreed to get emails from each other. Membership is required to be in such a group. Additionally, it has rules that specify the frequency of sending emails to the members of the group.

Bandwidth Usage

All the users of shared, dedicated and reseller hosting accounts are entitled to use bandwidth based on their individual allocations, as per their respective plans.

When any user consumes 80% of his/her allotted bandwidth then he/she will be notified of the same through an email by us.

At this stage, such a user is recommended to purchase more bandwidth in order to prevent an automatic limitation of his/her resources that results from the user’s account continuously exceeding its permissible bandwidth usage limit.

If a user’s account persistently exceeds its permissible bandwidth usage limit, and the user doesn’t take any measure to address it by either upgrading his/her current plan or by maintaining his/her usage within the permissible limit, then we reserve the right to suspend such an account without any prior notice.

Any user account that has been suspended for continuously exceeding its permissible bandwidth usage limit, shall remain suspended until the user takes appropriate measures, which ensure that the permissible limit wouldn’t exceed again or when the account is upgraded, whichever happens earlier.

Such an account will be reactivated in the following month.

For Unmetered/Unlimited Bandwidth- We do not monitor the usage for unmetered/unlimited bandwidth. However, if a user consumes 25% of the his/her allotted bandwidth within a duration of 90 seconds, then we reserve the right to immediately restrict his resource usage, without issuing any notice to him/her. It this reoccurs, then such a user will initially receive notifications from us about it through emails. If no corrective measure is taken by the user even after receiving emails from us, then we will suspend his/her account without issuing any further notice.

IP Usage

Our IP should not get blacklisted or have any malicious impact due to any of your activities that are carried out through our products and services. If this happens, then we are not responsible for it and you will bear the sole responsibility for it. Additionally, we will suspend such accounts, report them to the respective authorities, and take legal action against them if we deem it necessary. We have the right to penalize such accounts.

Physical Memory (RAM)

The maximum RAM that can be utilized by the users of shared, dedicated and reseller hosting depends on their respective allocations based on their plans, at any given time. In case a user’s usage exceeds the limit based on his/her plan then that user’s resource usage will get restricted automatically. When that happens, the user is notified of the same through an email.

If any user repeatedly continues to exceed the permissible RAM usage, based on his/her hosting plan for shared, dedicated or reseller hosting, then we have the right to ask him/her to upgrade his/her plan to a plan that best meets his/her growing business needs or to limit his usage and ensure that it doesn’t exceed the permissible limit based on his/her current plan.

IO

As a user of our shared, dedicated or reseller hosting service you are entitled to a certain maximum IO usage based on your hosting plan, at any given time. IO limits restrict the data throughput for the customer. When the limit is reached, the processes are throttled (put to sleep). This makes sure that processes within Cage cannot go over the limit yet don't stop working, nor getting killed – they just work slower when the limit is reached.

- If any user repeatedly continues to exceed the permissible IO usage, based on his/her hosting plan for shared, dedicated or reseller hosting, then we have the right to ask him/her to upgrade his/her plan to a plan that best meets his/her growing business needs or to limit his usage and ensure that it doesn’t exceed the permissible limit based on his/her current plan.

IOPS

IOPS limits are meant to restrict the total number of read/write operations per second. When the limit is reached the read/write operations stop until the current second expires.

If any user repeatedly continues to exceed the permissible IOPS usage, based on his/her hosting plan for shared, dedicated or reseller hosting, then we have the right to ask him/her to upgrade his/her plan to a plan that best meets his/her growing business needs or to limit his usage and ensure that it doesn’t exceed the permissible limit based on his/her current plan.

Concurrent Connections (Concurrent Sessions, Entry Process, EP)

As a user of our shared, dedicated or reseller hosting service, you are entitled to a certain number of concurrent sessions based on your individual hosting plan, at any given time. Entry processes limit controls the number of entries into Cage. Each time a process 'enters' into Cage, we increment the counter. Each time process exits the Cage, we decrement the counter.

If any user repeatedly continues to exceed his/her permissible concurrent connections’ usage, based on his/her hosting plan for shared, dedicated or reseller hosting, then we have the right to ask him/her to upgrade his/her plan to a plan that best meets his/her growing business needs or to limit his usage and ensure that it doesn’t exceed the permissible limit based on his/her current plan.

NPROC

As a user of our shared, dedicated or reseller hosting plan, you are entitled to a certain number of processes based on your individual plan, at any given time.

When that happens NPROC counter is incremented.

If any user repeatedly continues to exceed his/her permissible NPROC usage, based on his/her hosting plan for shared, dedicated or reseller hosting, then we have the right to ask him/her to upgrade his/her plan to a plan that best meets his/her growing business needs or to limit his usage and ensure that it doesn’t exceed the permissible limit based on his/her current plan.

INODE

As a user of our shared, dedicated or reseller hosting service, you won’t experience any limits on INODES, as of now. An INODE is a data structure on a file system used to keep information about a file or a folder. The number of INODES indicates the number of files and folders an account has. INODES limits work on the level of disk quota.

The users of our shared hosting service should use INODES judiciously. INODES should not be used for additional storage. If any user of our shared hosting service consumes more than 20% of his/her complete usage limit, then we will initially notify him/her through email.
