Here are the terms you need to know before using our website and services. This agreement, also known as the Terms of Service (TOS), applies to everything provided by Host.co.in ("Host.co.in," "us," "our"). By choosing to use our services, you agree to follow these terms. You can always find the latest version of these terms on our website. It's important to read and understand these terms before you buy any services from Host.co.in.
The Terms of Service (TOS) apply to all services provided by Host.co.in to you during the entire Term or Renewal Term. Before signing up for any hosting plans or services mentioned on Host.co.in, all customers must agree to all terms and conditions stated. You agree to use only licensed and legal third-party software in connection with your use of our services. Host.co.in reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any or all provided services at any time, or when Host.co.in determines that the account has been inappropriately used or otherwise.
At Host.co.in, any attempts to compromise or compromise network devices, including port scanning, IP range scanners, and vulnerability scanning, are strictly prohibited. Similarly, denial of service (DOS) attacks directed at Host.co.in or launched from our servers are strictly forbidden. Hosting illegal software, source code, or materials, such as hacking tutorials, viruses, and copyrighted content, is also prohibited. Any infringement or suspected infringement will be thoroughly investigated and may result in immediate service termination. This includes hosting defamatory or private information without consent, as well as any attempts to undermine server integrity. Excessive resource usage that impacts other sites may require account upgrades and disrespectful behaviour towards Host.co.in staff may result in account removal without refund. While we strive for 99.95% uptime, we cannot guarantee it due to necessary maintenance activities.
Host.co.in strictly prohibits the use of our service for transmitting unsolicited commercial or bulk email (SPAM). Violation of this policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of a suspected violation, we will conduct a thorough investigation and may restrict access to our network to prevent further violations. If a violation is confirmed, we reserve the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate the offending hosting account at our sole discretion. Additionally, we may pursue civil remedies for associated investigation costs and notify law enforcement authorities if the violation is deemed criminal. Hosting websites or services that support spammers or cause our IP space to be listed in Spam Databases will result in immediate account suspension. Accounts will only be reinstated upon removal of offending material. Violations may result in warnings, immediate account termination, or permanent removal from our network without notice. We have a zero-tolerance policy for posting messages or ads violating newsgroup or mailing list rules. Additionally, hosting publicly accessible "open relay" SMTP or anonymous remailer services is strictly prohibited.
If a customer's account surpasses the allocated bandwidth limit, Host.co.in will notify the customer accordingly. If the customer opts not to purchase additional bandwidth or upgrade their account and continues to exceed the limit, the account will be temporarily suspended until appropriate measures are taken by the customer to prevent further overages or until the account is upgraded, whichever occurs first. The account will be reactivated in the subsequent month.
For optimal management and operation of VPS (Virtual Private Server) and Dedicated Server, we typically advise using a control panel. Customers with a plain server are required to configure DNS, user accounts, mail accounts, and other related configurations independently. Our support team will not be responsible for these tasks.
Your use of Host.co.in services is solely at your own risk. You must back up all your user content to ensure you can access and use it when necessary. Host.co.in does not guarantee the backup of any account or user content, and you accept the risk of losing any or all of your user content. Host.co.in cannot be held responsible for data loss under any circumstances. For clients who have subscribed to paid backup services with shared and reseller hosting plans, we take daily backups of website files, databases and emails with a retention period of 7 days. Please note that backups maintained by Host.co.in do not include media files or backups stored by the client. For clients using the cPanel Backup Manager tool, backups should be downloaded from the server and deleted. Every Sunday, all backup files are removed from the server without notification. It is not allowed to use hosting space to store backups.
Domain Registrations: Once a domain is registered, no refunds are applicable.
Domain Infringement: You are prohibited from registering a domain name that resembles a trademarked domain or a domain associated with a brand providing similar goods or services. Attempting to register such a domain name may result in liability for trademark infringement. For example, domains like Flipkartsale.in, bajajfinancecs.com, adtyabrlafnanc.co.in are not allowed.

Host.co.in does not set limits on the amount of bandwidth, disk space, or websites you can use for personal or small business websites, as long as it complies with our Agreement. However, if your usage or content poses a risk to server stability, performance, or uptime, you may be required to upgrade to a VPS, or we may restrict your website's resource usage.
Host.co.in employs measures to prevent abuse of its hosting services. Our "Unlimited" hosting offering is not intended for single or few subscribers to negatively impact the experience of others. Our service is designed for small and medium-sized businesses and may not support the demands of large enterprises or non-typical applications better suited to VPS or dedicated servers. We make reasonable efforts to provide additional resources to subscribers consistent with our terms, but automated safeguards are in place to prevent websites from adversely impacting the system until we can evaluate their resource needs.
Host.co.in does not set specific limits on disk space usage for websites, as long as it complies with our terms. However, our service is not intended for unlimited online storage, videos, images, audio, games, backups, or archiving of electronic files. Accounts with excessive database sizes may be requested to reduce their size to ensure proper performance, or the account may be disabled. Each database size should not exceed 1 GB.
Host.co.in does not limit the amount of visitor traffic or content a subscriber can upload to their website in a given month, as long as it complies with our terms. However, we reserve the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory if necessary to prevent negative impacts on other subscribers.
Certain activities are prohibited to prevent excessive use of system resources, including running cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes, MySQL queries longer than 30 seconds, and using 25% or more of our system resources for longer than 90 seconds at a time. Additionally, the size of each mailbox should not exceed 5 GB, and the combined mailbox size per domain should not exceed 50 GB. These policies apply to shared and reseller hosting accounts.

We reserve the right to inspect shared hosting accounts for excessive utilization of disk space, CPU, and other resources that violate our Agreement or Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
Enforcement of Policies: We reserve the right to terminate access to our services, and take down or erase user content for accounts found to violate these Terms and Conditions and other policies.
