Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

This AUP governs the use of Digital Solutions’ web hosting services. Violation of this AUP may result in suspension or termination of your service. In the event of a dispute between you and Digital Solutions regarding the interpretation of this AUP, Digital Solutions’ interpretation, in its reasonable commercial judgment, shall govern.

NOTE: These policies do not apply to Virtual Private Servers (VPS) or Dedicated Servers.

The following is the entire Acceptable Use Policy (‘AUP’) agreement between Digital Solutions, a product of Oracle ERP Solutions, and the personal or corporate account holder. Digital Solutions provides web hosting, web design, and script installation services. Digital Solutions has certain legal and ethical responsibilities related to the use of its servers and equipment. Our general policy is to act as a provider of Internet presence. We reserve the right to suspend or cancel a customer’s access to any or all services provided by Digital Solutions if we determine that the account has been inappropriately used.

What is Appropriate Usage? Digital Solutions is designed to serve the web hosting needs of small, independently owned, and operated businesses. It is not appropriate to use our shared hosting services to support large enterprises or internationally based businesses with a sustained demand that places an undue burden on our systems or negatively impacts use by small businesses. For these cases, we recommend using our VPS or Dedicated Servers.

Digital Solutions is a shared web hosting service, which means that a number of customer websites and services (email, storage, etc.) are hosted from the same server. We use abuse controls to help ensure that use of our services does not adversely affect system performance or other customers’ sites. It is not appropriate to use an account primarily as online storage or for archiving electronic files.

General Terms If you use our services in line with our Terms of Service and this AUP, your site can grow to meet your small business needs. However, to ensure system stability, we apply constraints on how quickly your account can grow. Abuse controls may cause temporary delays while we evaluate your usage expansion.

Digital Solutions customers may not:

1. Host unacceptable or inappropriate material including (but not limited to): topsites, IRC scripts/bots, proxy scripts, pirated software, warez, image hosting, autosurf/PTC/PTS/PPC sites, IP scanners, bruteforce apps, spam scripts, banner-ad services, file dump/mirror sites, commercial audio streaming, escrow services, high-yield interest programs (HYIP), investment sites, sale of controlled substances, pyramid schemes, illegal content, hacker sites, and more.
