Terms of Service/Usage Policy

Radium Hosting™ Acceptable Use Policy described below defines the actions which Radium Hosting considers to be abused and strictly prohibited. There are no exclusions in this listing. Please, be aware that the actions listed below are also prohibited from other Internet Presence Providers (IPP's) and their users on behalf of Radium Hosting to advertise any service hosted by Radium Hosting or connected via the Radium Hosting Network. As defined by the Federal Trade Commission Deception Policy Statement, such services are not to be advertised by way of deceptive marketing policies. For abbreviation purposes, Radium Hosting will be referred as Radium Hosting and companies or individual account owners using our services as CUSTOMERS.

Radium Hosting Acceptable Use Policy has been formulated with the following goals in mind:

Ensure security, reliability and privacy of Radium Hosting systems and network, and the networks and systems of others.

Avoid situations that may cause Radium Hosting to incur civil liability.

Maintain the image and reputation of Radium Hosting as a responsible organization.

Preserve the value of Internet resources as a conduit for free expression.

Encourage the responsible use of net resources, discouraging practices which degrade the usability of network resources and thus the value of Internet services.

Preserve the privacy and security of individual users.

The Acceptable Use Policy below defines the actions which Radium Hosting considers to be abusive, and thus, strictly prohibited.

The examples named in this list are non-exclusive, and are provided solely for guidance to Radium Hosting customers. Please note that the actions listed below are also not permitted from other Internet Service Providers on behalf of, or to advertise, any service hosted by Radium Hosting, or connected via the Radium Hosting network. Furthermore, such services may not be advertised via deceptive marketing policies, as defined by the Federal Trade Commission Deception Policy Statement.

Unlimited Disk Space & Bandwidth

While Radium Hosting does not meter disk space & bandwidth, the purpose of an Radium Hosting hosting account is to host web sites. Using a hosting account primarily for online file storage or archiving electronic files is prohibited.

Network Security

Customers may not use Radium Hosting's network as to attempt to circumvent user authentication or security of any host, network, or account. This includes, but is not limited to, accessing data not intended for the Customer, logging into a server or account the Customer is not expressly authorized to access, password cracking, probing the security of other networks in search of weakness, or violation of any other organization's security policy.

Customers may not attempt to interfere or deny service to any user, host, or network. This includes, but is not limited to, flooding, mailbombing, or other deliberate attempts to overload or crash a host or network.

Customers will be held liable for incorrect setting of netmasks, routes, or any other network configuration or programming issue which causes unnecessary broadcast or multicast traffic on our network, or denial of service, deliberate or not, caused by forging ARP queries or replies or by configuring IPs into their machine which were not assigned to their server. Any of these actions may result in disconnection of the server at fault from the network and/or correction of the fault at the customer's risk and expense. Any loss of functionality caused by the attempted correction of the problem will be the customer's responsibility to solve. If the malignity of the problem is deemed by Radium Hosting to not warrant such drastic action, the customer will be contacted via the ticketing system to correct the problem himself. Customers are responsible for maintaining their contact information in the ticketing system such that the email address is always reachable even in the event of their Radium Hosting servers being shut down.

If your server is the initiator or target of a denial of service attack that adversely affects our/somebody else network, we will terminate your account without warning and you will be held responsible for any charges that may result from this action.

Activities that attract denial of service attacks are expressly prohibited. Customers involved in these activities will be terminated as soon as we are aware of them. These activities include, but are not limited to: selling shell accounts, and involvement with IRC of any kind. This prohibition is for the protection of our customer base as a whole; these kinds of services tend to attract attacks that have the potential to degrade service for all of our customers.

Radium Hosting will cooperate fully with investigations of violations of systems or network security at other sites, including cooperating with law enforcement authorities in the investigation of suspected criminal violations. Users who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability. Radium Hosting reserves the right to charge up to $500 per complaint to investigate.

Mandatory Security Updates

From time-to-time, we notify our clients of any exploit we deem potentially catastrophic. For an exploit to be considered catastrophic, it must be attacking widely deployed applications that are in use on a majority of servers. For example, but not limited to, software related to DNS, APACHE, and SENDMAIL.

The security notification will be sent via our customer subscribed mailing list, with a subject line of "Mandatory Security Update". It will provide a synopsis of the exploit, what is effected, and probable repercussions associated with failure to update. In addition, the email will provide a link for customers to download updated software or fixes, or patches, and directions on installing it. Customers are responsible for following the instructions in all " Mandatory Security Update" within 24 hours from their release.

To ensure the security of the clients' servers and to maintain our network integrity, if 24 hours past notification the software at issue has not been updated or patched, Radium Hosting reserves the right to apply all necessary updates, fix any other obvious security holes we may find, and bill the customer's account at the applicable hourly support rate without further notice or customer approval.

Server Interface

The Radium Hosting Web Interface and Control Panel are proprietary software, a single Perl script at /usr/local/sbin/interface. Although we do not protect the software with compilation nor with encryption, it is protected under copyright and trade secret laws and is not to be modified nor distributed in any fashion unless authorized in writing by Radium Hosting. Under no circumstances will we allow changes to the Copyright notice and/or disclaimers on version 2 of the interface (revisions 1.110 and above), since the "Server Interface" Trade Name and logo are already protecting resellers from references to Radium Hosting.

Requests for modification, including translating into other languages, addition of links or advertising, changes to menus, or customer-specific options, must be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and are subject to an approval process by all departments. In general, the only changes approved are those of a general nature, representing an increase in functionality for all customers. Changes for a single customer which would cause more than one concurrent version of the software will not be considered.

Changes which are approved will be done on a prioritized basis by Radium Hosting technical staff. Expedited processing of a change order can be paid for by a customer, but the changes remain property of Radium Hosting and may be given to other customers.

Customer Spamming Policy

Radium Hosting has zero tolerance for spam originating from our customers, or from our customers' customers, or for spam advertising web sites of our customers or our customers' customers.

The Policy
You refers to the Radium Hosting Customer; we refers to Radium Hosting.

Radium Hosting has the right to charge $500 per complaint to investigate.

Radium Hosting does not deal with your customers or their customers etc.; We hold our customers responsible for dealing with spam from or about their section of the network. Radium Hosting customers are responsible for ensuring that they, their customers, and their respective agents and contractors abide by this policy. Radium Hosting's customers will be held responsible for all traffic either sent via their connection to Radium Hosting or sent elsewhere using support services provided via their connection to Radium Hosting. "Support services" includes DNS, hosting websites, electronic mailboxes, IRC servers, sale of spamming software or other similar services. Customers are also responsible for ensuring that they do not advertise or promote themselves through UBE/UCE.

If we get a first complaint, we will forward it to you. If we don't receive a response indicating the complete resolution of the complaint within 24 hours, we may drop the section of IP space involved in the spam complaint until we are convinced that the problem is resolved. In particular, we are concerned with spam that not only originates from your network, but also that advertises sites hosted on your network.

If we get repeat complaints and it is clear that the problem has not been resolved, we may blackhole the section of IP space involved in the spam complaint until we are convinced that the problem is resolved. If so, we will contact you as soon as is feasible.

We reserve the right, to drop the section of IP space involved in spam or Denial-of-Service complaints if it is clear that the offending activity is causing great harm to parties on the Internet. In particular, if open relays are on your network or a customer's network, or if denial of service attacks are originating from your network. In certain rare cases, we may have to do this before attempting to contact you. If we do this, we will contact you as soon as is feasible.

What does this mean to me?
You must provide us with, and keep current, good contact information for you. E-mail, fax, and telephone contacts are used, in that order of preference.

You must promptly investigate and deal with any spam or other abuse complaints forwarded to you.

If your server hosts any mailing lists, they must all be true opt-in lists, which means that, before sending any commercial email, a confirmation email, preferably with a tracking number, is sent to the new subscriber, to which they must respond. If they do not respond to the confirmation email, they must not be considered to have opted in. You should keep these confirmations on file or in a database so that when complaints come in, you can prove the subscriber actually opted in. You must in addition provide at least one easy way to opt-out: see the MAPS guidelines for details.

If your server is used to send any email at all, it must also be configured to support RFC 1123 section 5.2; in particular it must accept mail for 'postmaster' and must accept bounces (which have a FROM address of <>).

Why this Policy?
We at Radium Hosting feel strongly that the usability of the Internet is dependent on the elimination of UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail) from the mailboxes and newsgroups of both casual and heavy Internet users. If you host web sites, you must be particularly vigilant, as you and your other customers could be disconnected from the Internet due to one customer's spamming.

Data Backup

Radium Hosting maintains, as a convenience to its clients, regular automated data backups on accounts equal to or less than 10 gigabytes in total size. This service is included with Business Class hosting accounts and is provided at no additional charge. Hosting accounts greater than 10 gigabytes in size will not be included in regular data backups; this service is, however, available for an additional service charge for accounts exceeding the 10 gigabyte size limit.

While Radium Hosting maintains the previously stated backups, this service is provided as a convenience only and Radium Hosting assumes no liability as to the availability or completeness of client data backups. Each client is expected and encouraged to maintain backup copies of their own data. Radium Hosting will provide, upon request, one (1) data restore per four (4) calendar months free of charge. Additional data restores may be provided but are subject to additional service fees.

Bandwidth Charges

Higher levels of traffic will incur overcharges on a monthly basis. However, the rates for bandwidth usage are lower for Radium Hosting than for any other services we offer. Radium Hosting provides full access to web reports for network traffic monitoring and reporting. Radium Hosting also provides graphs that show customers' monthly usage, which is the average rate, and reflects the amount of bandwidth transferred during the month. The bandwidth charges reflects the average monthly bandwidth in Kilobits per second (Kbps) and in Gb/month. These charges reflect our expenses in network maintenance, upgrades, backbone port charges, leased line loops, and equipment.

IP Policy

ARIN (the American Registry for Internet Numbers) is becoming very stringent with IP addresses, and refuses to grant them without a strict accounting of use of existing IP's; we must therefore require periodic updates of IP address use.

Any IP numbers which remain unused after a 30-day period, according to our periodic 'ping' testing, will be subject to reassignment by Radium Hosting. No prior notice will be given, but we will email you at your current contact address to inform you that we have taken back the IP numbers. You can of course request more when you are ready to use them. And, as stipulated elsewhere, any work incurred in reclaiming unused IP numbers which have been registered as nameservers will be billed at our current administrative services rates.

Radium Hosting may assign its customers IP (Internet Protocol) addresses on a temporary basis or for the life of the contract. Customer agrees that IP addresses are not portable, and acknowledges that IP addresses are the sole property of Radium Hosting and are assigned as part of the services. Furthermore, client acknowledges that use of IP addresses not allocated by Radium Hosting to customer or users is expressively prohibited and will incur a penalty fee.

This fee would be calculated on a standard engineers hourly rate fee of $150 separate from any other service or incident fees prepaid by customer. At the conclusion of Customer's contract, Customer is required to provide a copy of an Authorized domain registrar (i.e. Network Solutions) records, showing that Customer's hostname servers no longer claim the use of our IP addressed we have provided to customer. This document must be delivered to Radium Hosting within 10 days after the effective contract termination date.

Important IP Disclosure: Radium Hosting may assign customer a reasonable amount of IP addresses (Internet Protocol) on a temporary basis or for the life of the contract. Client agrees that IP addresses are not portable and acknowledges that IP addresses are the sole property of Radium Hosting and are assigned as part of the services. Furthermore, client acknowledges that use of IP addresses not allocated by Radium Hosting to customer or users is expressively prohibited and will incur a penalty fee.This fee would be calculated on a standard engineers hourly rate fee of $150 separate from any other service or incident fees prepaid by customer.
