of the following kinds of FREE services but are not limited to; Free Web
hosting services, Free e-mail services, Free blogging services,
Free home pages, Free image hosting, Free trial accounts.
There are several reasons for these prohibitions on free services. The
reasons include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
a. First, free services generally do not require any reliable means of
identifying the person who registers for them. As such, it can be
practically impossible to track down persons who abuse the free
services.
b. Our customers, including (resellers) are all paying for prompt,
reliable service and we have built a solid reputation for delivering
excellent service to them. We cannot risk having unidentified persons
damage our reputation.
c. Users of free services are notorious for registering for free
accounts and immediately spamming or otherwise consuming very large
amounts of system resources and bandwidth before their accounts are shut
down. Such abusers often register for successive or multiple accounts
and cause many problems for the servers and network.
d. Spammers, operators of phishing and pharming scams, distributors of
spyware, viruses, Trojan horses, worms, and other malware, operators of
illegal Warez sites, operators of illegal or unauthorized file-swapping
or archive sites, and hackers frequently abuse free online services.
Allowing free services would expose our servers to severe abuse and
could harm US/ all of our customers, and all the customers of our
resellers.
e. Free services lead to various forms of abuses that may violate
criminal laws or even foster terrorist activities. Because such abuses
violate applicable laws as well as our policies, we must prohibit them.
If YOU violate this prohibition on free services, we may suspend your
account immediately, with or without notice, as we in our sole
discretion deem necessary to address the situation.
