Email Policies

andinohost has a high degree of restriction in its policy regarding unsolicited commercial email (UCE) and unsolicited bulk email (UBE) also known as "spam".

The definition of spam: An email message is “spam” IF:

• The recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients.
• Spam is called unsolicited, unwanted or messages from an unknown sender, usually of an advertising nature, sent in large quantities (even massive) that harm the recipient in one or more ways. The action of sending such messages is called spamming.
• The transmission and reception of the message appears with the recipient to give an exaggerated benefit to the recipient.

In the following link you can find more detailed information on the qualification made by the regulatory body for sending emails. http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus61-can-spam-act-compliance-guide-business

You will be classified as "UCE/UBE abuse" if you send any email to people who have not specifically requested to receive email from you. The origin of the email is not relevant. Upon confirmation of abuse, any andinohost client who engages in this practice will have their service suspended. Abuse creates an overload on the server and this can trigger negative effects that are reflected in the poor functioning and performance of the server, which directly affects it and leads to it being included in blacklists.

If from your site you are going to send emails to subscribers, here is a list of what is needed for this:

• The number of messages allowed to be sent per hour, day and domain is 350 messages.
• You must not attempt to conceal, falsify or misrepresent the sender of the email and the site where the email is sent from.
• The sending of mass mail must specify in a verifiable way the means by which the addresses of the people have been obtained and must indicate the frequency of the emails.

Bulk shipments should contain simple and obvious subscription mechanisms. We recommend this be in the form of a working relationship to a one-click subscription system, however, you can also ask the recipient to reply to the email with a specific subject. All email subscriptions must have valid, contact information for the sending organization in the text of each email that includes either a phone number or physical mailing address.

A mass email must be requested, defining that the sender has an existing or probable relationship with the recipient, and must also be able to verify that these subscribers have not disagreed with said messages in the past. Documentation of the relationship between the sender and receiver must be available for future review by andinohost.

Prohibited uses of the andinohost network system and services with respect to Spam Sending of unsolicited mass email.

In no way do we tolerate andinohost servers being used as a means to send mass mail. andinohost accounts and services should not be used to incorporate clients or responses to messages sent to other Internet providers, where those messages violate these policies or those of the other provider.
Any type of mass email sending on shared servers is not allowed. For example: spam, email marketing etc…. For this type of massive sending, a Dedicated Server or VPS must be used, since, according to our email sending policies in the web hosting and reseller hosting service, the sending of emails is limited to only 350 emails per hour. ; This limitation is necessary to maintain the stability of the mail service on shared servers.

The 350 emails/hour/account corresponds to a measure of reasonable use, this does not mean that 350 emails/hour/account can be sent 24 hours a day, since this would be considered sending mass mail expressly prohibited on servers. shared.

Sending unconfirmed mailing lists

All mailing lists sent by andinohost clients must be sent via a double confirmation system for subscription ("Confirmed Opt-in"). The confirmation message received from each email account owner must be kept on file for the duration of the mailing list's existence.

The purchase of email lists from third parties for sending from any domain hosted on andinohost or with reference to any andinohost account is prohibited. Operating an account on behalf of, or in connection with, or reselling any services to persons or firms listed in the Spamhaus Register or Known Spam Operations (ROKSO) database at www.spamhaus.org is prohibited.

We receive automatic reports from Spamhaus, AOL and SpamCop about our IP ranges. If there are more than three complaints regarding your site in one day, the site will be suspended until prior notice is made with the report generated.

Resource abuse policy

Any website on our shared servers that uses a large amount of server resources (CPU, memory usage and network resources) will be given the option to pay for a dedicated server. The abuse and misuse of shared system resources is a serious problem. Accounts on a shared server must share resources with other users so we must limit the amount of CPU and memory that can be used by any account.

To be fair, we can't allow one or two clients to use all the system resources on a shared machine and have all the other clients suffer because of it. Excessive CPU usage and memory usage by one or more clients causes extreme slowness in all areas: MySQL, email, HTTP, and more. If the CPU and memory usage of a few clients gets out of control, all sites hosted on the computer will fail and will not be accessible at all.

Average resource limits for a server.

• Memory usage may not exceed 10% per domain/file/application
• CPU usage may not exceed 20% per domain/file/application
• Apache connections may not exceed 30 connections (HTTP)
• 15 MySQL user connections maximum allowed
• 15 FTP user connections maximum allowed
• 15 SMTP user connections maximum allowed
• 15 POP3 user connections maximum allowed
• 350 emails per hour, day and per domain
• PHP memory for shared hosting accounts will have a maximum value of 64 MB
• In Shared Hosting hosting (Linux or Windows) the size of the mysql database or sql server should not be greater than 300 MB, otherwise you must scale to a vps service or dedicated server.
• MySQL queries will have a maximum execution time of 30 seconds, after this time the database can be suspended

There are special exceptions to these rules that will be determined at the time the abuse is discovered. There are different combinations of use that can create problems and other special cases. Any time a server is unstable and an account is found to be the cause, we reserve the right to suspend the account to keep the server online and functioning normally. If the usage tends to be higher, the user is recommended to invest in a dedicated server so that the website can grow at a normal rate and without restrictions.

Suspensions

In the event that your website has been suspended for resource abuse (abuse that cannot be resolved by removing and changing a script, etc.) and you do not wish to upgrade to a dedicated server to accommodate your site's needs, the suspension within 24-48 hours. This is to ensure that the CPU reduces traffic to prevent further damage and problems. A backup will take care of your files or you will be allowed FTP/cPanel access for a certain period of time. If you have questions about our abuse policy they can be answered by opening a ticket with our abuse division. You can visit the help desk by clicking here ().

Nodes

Accounts on any shared hosting account cannot have an excessive number of nodes. Any account that has more than 100,000 nodes can be removed from our system via backup to avoid overload. Any account that is monitored and has a number greater than 250,000 nodes is at risk of suspension. A warning will be sent and if no action is taken to resolve the problem, the account may be suspended. Each file in the account is counted as 1 node. This includes email as well as website content. You can request information from the help desk by clicking here ().

Cron

Allows customers to configure CRON (Scheduled Task) to perform routine functions automatically. Any client that sets their scheduled task to a time of 10 minutes may be abusing the cron system. Any automated process that excessively consumes resources and impacts server stability may be disabled at our discretion by our technicians.

VPS SERVICES

In order to control the VPS hardware node and to ensure that no single VPS account monopolizes the node's shared hardware resources (CPU/RAM), there are limits in place to implement certain controls. Process limits (numproc), RAM limits, and CPU usage limits. The "numproc" limit actually does not directly correlate to the number of processes it spawns but rather to the number of kernel level threads - any given VPS account spawns a number of kernel level processes, these processes are controlled by the kernel. See below for the specified limits.

LINUX VPS SERVERS

To understand what a VPS server is, you must describe its acronym in English, which stands for Virtual Private Servers, and whose literal translation in Spanish is: Virtual Private Servers.

As its name indicates, a VPS server does not share the space assigned to each site with other users. Therefore, performance improves considerably, by not having to share storage space or RAM memory.

The most important feature of a VPS server lies in the guarantee that your page will not suffer any problems while the company you hire for your WEB HOSTING has problems or performs maintenance actions.

Perhaps the price of a VPS server is what scares people, but not because they are extremely expensive, but because they offer many advantages and people automatically associate this quality with a high or high price. However, the best way to determine the approximate cost of a VPS server is based on the difference that exists between it and a dedicated server, both are very similar, but their costs are extremely different.

Purchasing a dedicated server will surely be very expensive if you do not have enough money to purchase it, since you basically have to buy a complete server. It is advisable for those people who want to have the privileges of a dedicated server but at a much lower cost, is to buy a good VPS server and work with it to improve the page or website.

Before hiring a VPS server, you should verify the monthly data transfer it allows, the size of the disk space it manages, the RAM memory capacity it offers, and the processor it uses. But above all, verify that the qualities it presents are compatible with the characteristics of your website and the growth you want to have in the future.

andinohost offers you the best web page hosting in Spain, the best support and unbeatable prices on Web hosting and complementary services that you can receive, such as VPS servers.

Each selected plan will allow you to manage your own resources, the plan, your total memory as well as your total disk space and monthly transfer. As it is a virtual Server, it also has limitations, such as its MYSQL processes.

To have better performance on each VPS, the node is controlled, which is the one that hosts its virtual partition for its VPS, for this reason there are a number of limits, which will help all the VPS hosted on the node respect and be under the allowed limits without affecting the other accounts.

Control is maintained over the machine's resources such as, it must be taken into account that these limits are not related to the space or monthly transfer characteristics.

VPS – Process limits
VPS1 – 180:180
VPS2 – 220:220
VPS3 – 260:260
VPS4 – 300:300

We strictly limit the amount of RAM each VPS account can use. Your account will only be able to use the amount of RAM that is guaranteed for your VPS.

VPS – Memory limits
VPS1 – 1536MB
VPS2 – 2048MB
VPS3 – 3072MB
VPS4 – 4096MB

Our VPS offer an equal share of CPU to all accounts hosted on the node. With this proposal, the CPU limits are as follows:

CPU usage limits
VPS1/2/3 – 700MHz guaranteed, maximum at 850MHz

What does each limit refer to?

Process limit:
All operating systems and programs (software) use processes (tasks and in Linux known as daemons). Because VPS are virtualizations, they limit the number of simultaneous tasks they can perform at the kernel level. Any VPS account generates a number of Kernel-level processes, these processes are controlled by the kernel. That is why it is limited to not overload the node in which it is hosted.

Memory limit:
Every VPS has, according to its plan, a memory limit which wears out depending on the use of the VPS. It must be taken into account that to manage the cpanel, the memory used is 500 MB, the remainder is distributed in the tasks scheduled by the VPS. , like MYSql, apache, etc.

It is important to take into account for the administration of your vps that a hosting account hosted on it can generate, to a reasonable extent of use, a consumption of 0 to 1 % of the ram memory of your virtual server so as not to generate loads on the vps. , a consumption greater than 1% may cause a decrease in vps performance.

CPU limit:
CPU, short for Central Processing Unit, The CPU is the brain of the computer. Sometimes referred to simply as the processor, the CPU is where most calculations occur. In terms of computer power, the CPU is the most important element of a computer system.

Because it is the most important element of the machine, it is the one that requires the most care. For this reason, only the guaranteed 700MHz is guaranteed in a VPS, maximum at 850MHz this value does not vary in any of the plans, since if this limit is maintained the node that host the VPS, it will have better performance.

It is important to keep in mind for the administration of your vps that a hosting account hosted on it can generate, to a reasonable extent, a consumption of 0 to 2 % of the cpu usage of your virtual server so as not to generate loads on the vps. , a consumption greater than 2% may cause a decrease in the performance of the virtual server.

Limitations

Not all problems due to the NO Visibility/Availability of your website can be assumed by Hostdime, there are times when your ISP (Internet Service Provider) makes changes to its policies.
It is probably your ISP that is experiencing technical difficulties, or there may be a routing problem between your ISP and the data center, making communication difficult or impossible. We cannot evade responsibility for these problems. Our monitoring agents will help you assess the service restoration time.

Server reset

Hostdime is NOT responsible for restoring data to the server. We always recommend that you purchase backup options for your server, for shared web hosting accounts we keep copies of your data off-site for you in case of emergency. If there is a hardware failure or data loss occurs, you, the customer, are responsible for restoring the data. Hostdime will not be responsible for data loss under any circumstances.

Hardware Replacement

Hardware replacement will occur within 1-8 hours of reporting the problem, andinohost will refund 5% of the monthly fee for every 8 hours of lost time (up to 100% of the customer's monthly fee). In order to reduce the time lost due to hardware replacement, we keep a number of pre-built systems in storage to install hard drives so that your server can be back up and running in the shortest time possible. For hard drive failures, we keep drivers pre-installed with our standard partitioning for immediate availability. In order to request credit for equipment violation from ANS, you must report the contract violation within the first 10 days to our sales department through our help desk (https://core.andean.host/). Violations of the ANS will be reviewed by our staff Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. *Hardware SLA violations will not cover network violation.

Backups in Shared Hosting

andinohost performs daily and/or weekly security backups on all our shared servers to ensure that the most important files are never lost. However, andinohost is not responsible for the loss of data, time, income or any other resource due to defective or non-existent backup copies.

Please always back up your data for redundancy. There is a one-time charge of $50 for us to restore a backup of your account due to an error outside our control. If your account or data is lost due to hardware issues, we will restore your files, at no additional cost. Data on our shared servers is backed up daily and/or weekly to independent hard drives. We cannot guarantee 100% data recovery, but we will do our best to recover as much as we can. The modest charge for backup restore provides a measure of security for you and compensates us for the time it takes to restore your files.

Security backups on Dedicated Server or VPS

Due to the nature of VPS Servers and Dedicated Servers, andinohost does not provide any type of security backup solution by default. Backups depend directly on the client to maintain backup of their own data. We will offer the following options for backups at an additional cost.

For VPS accounts, we recommend purchasing a remote FTP storage account to configure the server to perform backups locally and then to FTP remote storage. If something happens to your VPS account, remote backups will remain intact and available to you, as well as our technical support team. In addition to this measure, we also recommend that you keep at least 1 copy of your data on your local storage and/or office machines to improve data redundancy and crash recovery.

For dedicated server accounts, it is highly recommended to have an option for backups of your server, as well as keeping copies of your data offsite for emergencies. You can purchase a secondary or tertiary drive to keep your backup data locally or you can purchase a remote FTP storage account. If hardware failure and data loss occur, you are responsible for restoring the data. HostDime will not be responsible for any loss of data under any circumstances.

If you choose to enable backups for your local VPS disk or partition, the backup space will count as total usable space on that disk. In the event that the drive fails, is hacked, or is otherwise compromised, andinohost is not responsible for the lack of backup copies of your data.

Your data is the backbone of your business and we urge you to take the best precautions to secure it. Please contact our sales team if you have any questions.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”)

Provides a mechanism to notify service providers of claims of unauthorized use of intellectual property-protected materials. Under the DMCA, a complaint may be sent to the service provider's designated agent. If you believe in good faith that andinohost should be notified of possible online Internet copyright infringement involving a member of andinohost's customer base, please notify our designated agent by email at

Caveat emptor (The client assumes the risk)

We provide general information on this page, we do not provide legal advice. Please consult with an attorney if you have a legal problem.

Broadly speaking, defamation is the making of a false statement about another person, which causes the person to suffer some type of harm. Defamation consists of the making of defamatory statements by a temporary (non-fixed) representation, usually an oral (spoken) representation. Slander consists of making defamatory statements in a printed or fixed medium, such as a magazine, newspaper or website. In simple terms, slander is defamation through oral means, and slander is defamation through writing. Slander is the most common type of defamation that we as a service provider must deal with.

If a person posts defamatory content online, they may be liable for doing so. However, “47 U.S.C. sec. 230” states that online service providers are not publishers of content posted on users’ websites.” Section 230 gives ISPs the power to allow customers to practice free speech or have content removed, whichever they prefer, in response to claims by others that the content is defamatory or libelous.

The Internet is a public medium, therefore, we believe that serious defamation problems should be resolved by public officials. We will not request that a client remove or edit any content from the website until we receive a copy of a court order specifying the defamatory statements. This immunity does not extend to claims made under intellectual property laws, please see our DMCA section for cases of copyright infringement.
