  • Resource Usage (Share Hosting & VPS)
    To maintain the integrity of SerayaHost services, any Share Hosting or VPS (virtual private server) utilizing heavy amounts of system resources may be temporarily disabled. When necessary, clients may be required to upgrade the service package to accommodate actual usage. Additionally, to reduce the load on servers, SerayaHost may relocate virtual private server containers to different nodes and/or IP addresses.

  • Abuse/Spam/Bulk Email Policy
    SerayaHost understands that bulk email is an important mechanism for keeping people informed. However, spamming from the SerayaHost network, and spamvertising (unsolicited advertising of) sites hosted on the SerayaHost network, is prohibited.
    The usage of partially confirmed recipient lists is not allowed. All bulk email senders must post privacy policies and must be clearly identified to recipients during the subscription and confirmation process. The usage of third-party distribution lists is prohibited. If SerayaHost approaches a client for evidence of confirmation, the request must be honored within 48 hours of the initial spam alert. Deactivation of an account or service may be required, until proof of confirmation is provided and approved. SerayaHost reserves the right to require termination of any services involved in the transmission of unsolicited email. If any activities lead to blacklisting, the involved client/reseller may be charged an abuse fee of Rp1.000.000,00.
