    Our hosting transfers team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we cannot make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.

    The free transfer services are available for 30 days from your sign up date. Transfers outside of the 30 day free period will incur a charge; please contact a member of the transfers department with specific details to receive a price quote.

    8.1 There is a maximum 250 including cc and bcc (might be changed without any prior notice) outgoing email hourly limit per domain, this limit is also applied towards mailman. If you send over this amount in any hour, most of the e-mails will bounce back with an undeliverable error. Many of our servers have a limit of 90 POP3/IMAP checks per hour per e-mail address. If you go over this you are likely to get a wrong password error message or an error stating “login incorrect”. If this occurs, please wait an hour and it will automatically unblock you. To prevent this from happening again, please make sure to disable auto checking or at least set it to something higher such as once every 10 minutes.

    8.2 Mailing Lists Rules – Any mailing list larger than 1000 addresses will require a dedicated hosting solution from us.

    (8.2.1) Any time you are sending a message no matter how large your e-mail list is you must throttle it. We recommend you throttle it to at the very least sending 1 email every 20 seconds. (Sending 1 every 20 seconds would send 180 emails within 1 hour, keeping you below the 200 outgoing email limit.) If the mailing list software you are using does not allow you to throttle you must switch to an application or script that will. We recommend PHPList, which can be found in your Control Panel.

    (8.2.2) IMPORTANT: If you do not throttle and you try sending 250 emails, the server will try sending all 250 in 1 second which is not possible on our shared servers. This will cause a very high load on the server and the entire server will be sluggish, potentially affecting your sites and service, until this sending process is completed. It is our job to keep the server up and running without being sluggish or experiencing issues. Anyone who causes the servers load to go high will be suspended and the process will be terminated. If you choose not to throttle, you will most likely be suspended/terminated for crashing the server.

    (8.2.3) The list must be a Double Opt-In list. This means a user has subscribed for a newsletter or other email marketing messages by explicitly requesting it and confirming the email address to be their own. Confirmation is usually done by responding to a notification/confirmation email sent to the email address the end user specified. The double opt-in method eliminates the chance of abuse where somebody submits someone else email address without their knowledge and against their will. You will not be permitted to mail any mailing list that you were given or purchased. In doing so, this will also be considered spamming and may result in termination of the offending account.

     (8.2.4) Any unsolicited e-mail being sent will result in suspension or termination of the offending account without any information. We take a zero tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mail and other forms of SPAM

    (8.2.5) No direct SMTP mailers are allowed. An example of this would be a Darkmailer or The Bat!. Any mail should be sent through the local mail server/MTA for further delivery by the server and not done directly by scripts.

    For Dedicated Servers service, VPS service or Colocation service, there are no e-mailing limits. However, if we get SPAM reports, we will contact you and/or null route your mail servers. For more information see our abuse section.

    8.3 8.3 Abuse (Dedicated and VPS and Colocation customers only)

     YourConnect reserves the right to deny mail delivery from any servers hosted on our network if they are believed to be involved in SPAM or SPIM activities. This includes spam support services such as DNS or spamvertised web sites. Our abuse department will locate abusive servers based on public blacklist monitors, abuse reporting from external networks, and other means. If our abuse department receives a report or otherwise becomes aware of abuse-related activities active on our network, we will identify the server the abuse was initially sent from (via IP and in some cases by domain) and create a ticket on behalf of the user who occupies the server with information regarding the abuse such as logs describing the abuse and an explanation of what abuse took place.

– An abuse ticket serves as notification that our abuse department has received reports of abuse originating from the server. We require a client response to ALL abuse tickets within 48 hours of the ticket being opened. Typically no service will be suspended or filtered within the first 48 hours of an abuse ticket being opened. If a response is not received within 48 hours, or the server is determined to be abusive (or likely to be abusive in the case of spam blacklistings) after the ticket is opened, our abuse technicians may filter or disable ports or IPs assigned to the server temporarily to prevent further abuse until a response is received.

    – If a response has not been received to an abuse ticket within 7 days of being opened, the server is eligible for suspension and may be completely disabled until we receive a response.

    – Habitual neglect of abuse occurring on a client’s server may lead to service termination or longer-term port filters as some blacklistings can take several weeks to time out or be removed.

    YourConnect reserves the right to refuse services to any client whose account(s) have been fined or terminated for abuse-related activities. If an IP range or IP address has been blacklisted as a result of excessive abuse reports, YourConnect reserves the right to issue a fine and immediately terminate the service.

Compromised servers issued abuse notifications:If our abuse department suspects that abuse reports associated with a client’s server are a result of the server’s security being compromised, our abuse department will offer the following options:

• At the discretion of our abuse department, we will typically offer the ability to log in to the server and remedy the security compromise while leaving the abusive traffic filtered.
• Offer an Operating System reinstallation, setting the configuration back to the original state it was provisioned in.
• If Operating System reinstallation is not accepted as an option, YourConnect may offer to manually retrieve/repair the files on the server, at a fee to be assessed and paid prior to any work being done.
• If a client wishes to dispute any abuse reports, or any fine assessed in connection with abuse reports or blacklistings, the client must provide YourConnect with an explanation via our ticketing system within 10 days of the abuse ticket being opened.

    Clients agree to pay any and all bandwidth overage charges accrued on their account from the previous billing cycle. Bandwidth overage charges are billed per gigabyte at a rate of 100 THB per 10GB. per month over the allotted bandwidth on the service. YourConnect reserves the right to suspend any account which does not pay bandwidth overage charges within 15 days. YourConnect is not responsible for spikes in bandwidth that are caused on a client’s service for any reason. Client assumes liability for all bandwidth to and from their services. If issued an expected to exceed bandwidth notification, clients are required to make payment arrangements within 24 hours of that notification to prevent possible service interruption until adequate arrangements are made. These arrangements may include being required to pro-actively upgrade bandwidth.

    Our staff is on hand to help provide you with support and to make sure your hosting experience is the best it can be. Rude behavior to our staff, including profanity or any other form of abuse, will not be tolerated. If you are rude to our staff, we reserve the right to suspend and/or terminate your account(s). If you feel one of our staff members is being rude to you, please contact us with complaints and proof.

    For safety reasons, we urge our customers not to divulge the password of their e-mail/hosting/ftp accounts to anyone. In cases where passwords and usernames are to be given to our employees, we suggest to change the password immediately. In every 30 days you have to change your all password for security reason.

    In case of any tampering done to our network security, we will take an immediate action against the respective hosting account.

    The use of more than 150,000 inodes on any account may potentially result in a warning first, and if no action is taken future suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 50,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode.

    Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail”, then “Default Address”, “Set Default Address”, and then type in: :fail: No such user here.

    If any customer violates the company’s policies in site transfer or misuse of bandwidth, YourConnect Web Hosting Services can decrease its allotted Traffic quota or suspended/terminated his account without any prior notice.

    YourConnect will take no responsibility for any damage to your business through direct or indirect use of our services. This includes loss of data or damage due to delays, no/wrong deliveries, downtimes, or any and all service interruptions caused by YourConnect and its employees.

    YourConnect keeps all client information private and will not publicly disclose that they are providing services to the client unless permission is received on a case-by-case basis. YourConnect reserves the right to use client quotes for promotional uses. Such quotes will be anonymous unless the client agrees to disclosure of their name. All communications from YourConnect and the client are strictly confidential and for the intended use of the addressee only. Any disclosure, use or copying of the information by anyone other than the intended recipient is prohibited and you agree to be held liable for damages if you violate this agreement, forward the information, post it or allow it to be posted online in public or private forums or venues.

    This contract and any supplemental terms, policies, rules and guidelines posted on our website constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede all previous or contemporaneous written or oral agreements. If any part of these Terms of Service is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
