Transfers  from Other Providers

Upon your request, our transfer team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we can not 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. Whilst we will endeavour to assist with the transfer, in some cases, we may be unable to assist you in the transfer of data from an old host.

The free transfer services are available for 30 days from your signup date. Transfers outside of the 30-day free period will incur a charge; please contact us at support@whogohost.com with specific details to receive a price quote.

Transfers  of Registered Accounts and Websites

In order to access the account of any of our registered clients or have the account transferred to you or another registrar, we will require you to establish your relationship with our registered client. When you have established your relationship with our registered client, we will notify the registered client of your request. Upon receiving the written consent of the registered client to transfer the account to you and upon receiving a signed indemnity letter from you, we will transfer the website to you or your preferred registrar. 

Where you claim that your website was developed by any of our registered clients, we will require the registered client's written consent to transfer the website either to you or another registrar.

Where you claim that the registered client is dead, we will require you to provide us with the registered client's death certificate. Upon providing us with the death certificate, you will need to sign a letter of undertaking and indemnity and depose to an affidavit stating that they are assuming responsibility for the account and would indemnify WhoGoHost from all liability.

During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied, and used for authorized purposes. Use of WhoGoHost system(s) constitutes consent to monitoring for these purposes.

Any account found connecting to a third-party network or system without authorization from the third party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control must be with expressed written consent from the third party. WhoGoHost may, at its discretion, request and require documentation to prove access to a third-party network or system is authorized.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates our terms of service in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.

Any violation as stated above may result in the suspension or termination of your services with or without notice. All abuse issues must be dealt with via trouble ticket/email and will have a response within 48 hours.

It is your responsibility to ensure that scripts/programs installed under your account are secure and permissions of directories are set properly, regardless of installation method.

This includes the compromise of credentials such as username and password. It is required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.

You may refer to our backup policy for more information about backups.

If you purchased a product/service during a promotion or bundled with a free product (i.e a domain name) and you fail to renew it before the date of expiration or a change is made to the billing cycle of the product during the promotional period, the terms of the promo or free product become void. The free product will be charged at the standard renewal rate of the then-current price of the product.

Domain name promo discount offers do not apply to renewals, transfers, premium domains, trademark domains, and pre-registration domain fees except otherwise stated in the promotional communication.

Cancellations and Refunds

Violations of the Terms of Service will waive the refund policy.

Resource Usage
  • Users may not:
    • Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
    • Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
    • Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
    • Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
    • Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
    • Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
    • Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc
    • Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.
    • Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.
    • When using PHP include functions for including a local file, including the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include ("http://yourdomain.com/include.php") use include ("include.php")
    • To help reduce usage, do not force HTML to handle server-side code (like PHP and SHTML).
    • Only use HTTPS protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.
  • INODES

    The use of more than two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) inodes on any shared or reseller account may result in a warning, and if no action is taken to reduce the excessive use of inodes, your account may be suspended. If an account exceeds one hundred thousand (100,000) inodes it will be automatically removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage, however, databases will still be backed up as a courtesy in our sole discretion. Every file (i.e. a webpage, image file, email, etc.) on your account uses up one (1) inode.

    User 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 is typically 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 an acceptable amount of inodes. 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"

Bandwidth Usage

You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. An unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.

Reseller: Client Responsibility

Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. WhoGoHost does not provide support to our Reseller's Clients. If a reseller's client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients' behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients. WhoGoHost will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients' actions that violate the law or the terms of service.

Shared (non-reseller accounts) / Semi-Dedicated Servers

Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people if you wish to resell hosting you must use a reseller account.

SSL Certificate Revocation

Whogohost reserves the right to revoke your Certificate without notice at any time if

  1. we discover that the information contained in your Certificate is no longer valid;
  2. you fail to perform your obligations under the terms of this Agreement; or
  3. Whogohost determines in its sole discretion that you have engaged in harmful/abusive activities.

CPU Usage

Sites may not use extreme unwarranted CPU usage. This includes the usage of "heavy" scripts or Flash/shockwave files.

No single site may consume 30% of CPU usage for a sustained period of time.

File repository / Dump Sites

Customers may not use disk space as a file repository or dumpsite. This includes but is not limited to; warez, serials, sound files, applications, and zip files. This includes using the space in order to store content used on other sites (remote linking). Examples of this would be using the webspace to store images for auction descriptions, flash, or any other files used on another site but stored on our server.

Violation of Rules

Breaking any of these aforementioned rules may result in immediate account suspension with or without notice and also without refund, as well as criminal prosecution where deemed necessary.
