Spam

All users must comply with all relevant legislation and regulations on bulk and commercial e-mail, including but not limited to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003. Users may not send mass unsolicited e-mail, which is email that is sent to recipients who have not “opted-in” to mailings from the user. Users who send mass mailings must maintain complete and accurate records of all consents and opt-ins and provide such records to Data Geeks Cloud upon its request. If a user cannot provide positive and verifiable proof of such consents and opt-ins, we will consider the mass mailing to be unsolicited. Users are prohibited from operating mailing lists, listservs, or mailing services that do not target an audience that has voluntarily signed up for e-mail information using an “opt-in” process or that has made their e-mail addresses available to a user for distribution of information. Users who operate mailing lists must maintain complete and accurate records of all consents and “opt-in” elections and provide such records to Data Geeks Cloud upon its request. If a user cannot provide positive and verifiable proof of such consents and “opt-in” elections, we will consider the list mailing to be unsolicited. Any user-maintained mailing list must also allow any party on the list to remove itself automatically and permanently. Other prohibited activities include, without limitation, the following:

Use of our network for the receipt of replies to unsolicited mass e-mail.
Forgery of e-mail headers (spoofing):
Spamming via third-party proxy, aggregation of proxy lists, or installation of proxy mailing software.
Configuration of a mail server to accept and process third-party messages for sending without user identification and authentication.
Hosting web pages advertised within “spam e-mail” sent from another network (spamvertising).
Hosting web pages or providing services that support spam.
Any other unsolicited bulk messages, postings, or transmissions through media such as weblog posts, IRC/chat room messages, guestbook entries, HTTP referrer log entries, usenet posts, pop-up messages, instant messages, or SMS messages.
Instructing others in any activity prohibited by this AUP.

If, as a result of your actions, our domains and/or IP address ranges are placed on black hole lists or other mail filtering software systems, your server may be suspended and possibly terminated upon further investigation.

Any port(s) may be added or removed to/from the list of blocks without prior notice to users. Please check create a support ticket if you require more information on the specific blocks.

DDoS Attacks

Users who are targeted with frequent and/or disruptive attacks may have action taken against their service and/or account. If your service(s) are found to be impacting the experience of other users persistently, you will be notified via ticket and requested to prevent further damages from occurring or relocate to another provider.

VPS Services

Server resources on our VPS platform, CPU, network and disk I/O are shared among other users on the same node unless specified ‘dedicated resources’. If your VPS is persistently using these resource(s) for a prolonged period of time and/or disrupting the experience of other users sharing the same node, we will notify you to reduce your usage via ticket. We allow private game servers but public game servers are strictly not allowed because they are more prone to DDoS attacks, which can cause downtime and performance issues for others. Severe cases of resource abuse or policy violations may result in your VPS being rebooted, shutdown and/or suspended. Failure to acknowledge an abuse ticket will result in a suspension of your VPS. 

Technical Support

As all VPS plans are unmanaged, we will only directly assist when the following are negatively affected for a user/server:
Control Panel Issues
Network Connectivity
OS Template/ISO Issues
Server Hardware

Questioned Uses

The following are acceptable providing they abide with the rest of this policy:
IRC*
Game servers**
Desktops environments**
VPN servers
Torrenting (You must limit your client/seeder to 20Mbps)

Any activity that results in attacks against our network may result in a suspension and/or termination.
Use of these must be used cautiously as they can often be very CPU intensive.
