Acceptable Use Policy

Acceptable Use Policy

Web hosts may have 200-300 or more clients per server; there is no exact number, as companies have different hardware and each hosted website has different resource usage. There is always a possibility that some of those customers host illegal content. There are web hosts who have had their servers unplugged, resulting in their clients' websites going down. I'm sure you do not want to put your business at risk and have your site hosted on the same server with illegal pornography and software sites, to verify the acceptable use policy of the host to know, if the host takes care of what's hosted on their servers.

Hosting your site on an uncared-for server will also result in low speed. If somebody on the same server sends spam, the server's IP address will be blacklisted and you'll have serious problems as recipients stop receiving your emails. Use the "Spam database search" function on http://www.DNSstuff.com to check if a web hosting company is blacklisted. Spam is being sent almost everywhere, so having one or two red records is not that bad; but if there are more, it can become a problem later.
