This includes using the server as a cloud storage service or platform. This is strictly prohibited.
3. DOMAIN REGISTRATION
You represent that, to the best of the your knowledge and belief, neither the registration of the SLD name nor the manner in which it is directly or indirectly used infringes the legal rights of a third party and that the Domain Name is not being registered for any unlawful purpose.
4. DOMAIN TERM / LENGTH
You agree that the Registration Agreement will remain in full force during the length of the term of your Domain Name Registration. Should you choose to renew or otherwise lengthen the term of your Domain Name Registration, then the term of this Registration Agreement will be extended accordingly. This Agreement will remain in full force during the length of the term of your Domain Name Registration as selected, recorded, and paid for upon registration of the Domain Name.

5. DOMAIN RENEWAL / EXPIRATION
You agree that we may place our contact information in the WHOIS output for any expired domain name, as the failure to renew results in the immediate cancellation of registration and loss of all rights to the domain name. Once the domain expires, you will still have 3 days grace period to renew it at no additional cost. Once the domain moves out of the grace period you still can renew the domain within the next 15 days at an additional cost of 750QR. If you still fail to renew within this period, the domain will be permanently cancelled and put to aution for sale. Should you choose not to renew your domain name, you agree that we may, in our sole discretion, renew and transfer the domain name to a third party on your behalf as an Expired Domain Transfer ("ED Transfer").
6. DOMAIN TRANSFER / RESTRICTIONS ON REGISTRAR TRANSFERS
For generic top-level domains governed by ICANN, you agree that you may not transfer your domain registration to another domain registrar during the first sixty (60) days from the effective date of your: (1) initial domain registration or (2) completion of a domain transfer into WebIncorp. If you choose to utilize our transfer lock service, you agree to provide written authorization (electronic acceptance is acceptable) to WebIncorp for the transfer of the domain to another registrar and agree to pay any and all fees that may be charged by WebIncorp to effect the transfer.
For country-code top-level domains, as established by each registry, you agree that you may not transfer a domain to another registrar during the first sixty (60) days of the initial registration or after expiration of the domain. You agree your request to transfer your domain to another registrar may be denied pursuant to the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (available
here).
7. UNMETERED DISK SPACE/BANDWIDTH
Diskspace and Bandwidth is "Unmetered" which means you are not charged according to the amount of diskspace or bandwidth you use. However, that being said, we do require all customers to be fully compliant with our Terms of Service and to only utilize disk space and bandwidth in the normal operation of a personal or small business website.
For example, customers who are using 25% or more of system resources for longer than 90 seconds would be in violation of our Terms of Service. Please contact us with any questions.
7.1. What happens if I exceed usage?
If we have concerns about your account's bandwidth or disk space utilization, you will receive an email asking you to reduce usage. Again, it is very rare for a customer who is managing a personal or small business website to exceed our usage policies.
7.2. Email limit per Mail Box (Inode Usage)
Even though you have an option to set Unlimited as an option while creating new email addessess on your cPanel, we highly recommend limiting it as we use a count methodology called Indode to monitor the usage of your mailbox.
Inode Limits: An inode is a data structure used to keep information about a file on your hosting account. The number of inodes indicates the number of files and folders you have. This includes everything on your account, emails, files, folders, anything you store on the server.
There is currently an limit of 100k/250k inodes on our shared accounts.
7.3. What is the 100k/250k inode limit?
All Shared (Ultimate/Cloud) packages only allow 100,000 files per cPanel. This is a "Soft limit" meaning that while the limit is reached, you will still be able to upload files. However once the account passes the 100,000 file threshold it will no longer be included in our weekly backups. Additionally, if the account happens to exceed 250,000 files then it will be in violation of our Terms of Service and can result in possible suspension.
VPS accounts are limited to one million (1,000,000) inodes. Unlike Shared/Reseller accounts this is a "Hard limit," if the threshold is reached you will no longer be able to upload files to your account. Inodes do not affect the weekly backups for VPS accounts.
Dedicated servers have no inode limits in place, only those that exist for the file system on the server (such as ext3).
How can I reduce my inode count?
Simply delete any files or emails you no longer need OR configure emails in your outlook as POP3 and set the option to delete emails from server after 30/60 days.
8. OUTGOING EMAIL LIMITS
8.1. ULTIMATE/CLOUD PACKAGES
Like any other hosting provider there is a 500 outgoing email hourly limit per domain. This limit is also applied towards Mailman. If you send over this amount in any hour, most of the e-mails will bounce back with an undeliverable error. If this occurs, it will then take some time for your account to be able to send again so we recommend waiting at least 1 hour after this issue occurs to begin sending email again.
Many of our servers have a limit of 30 POP3/IMAP checks per hour per each user's connecting IP address. If you go over this you're likely to get a wrong password error message or an error stating "login incorrect". If this occurs, please wait an hour and it will automatically unblock you. To prevent this from happening again, please make sure to disable auto checking or at least set it to something higher such as once every 10 minutes.
Any mailing list larger than 5,000 addresses will require a dedicated server solution from us. Note: Dividing one large list into smaller lists to get below this limit is not allowed.
There is also a limit to the number of Mailman mailing lists permitted as follows (NOTE: This does not apply to other mailing list programs such as PHPList. This only applies to Mailman.)
8.2. OTHER SHARED HOSTING PACAKGES
There is a 150 outgoing email hourly limit per domain.
8.3. VPS HOSTING PACAKGES
There is a 500 outgoing email hourly limit per domain.
8.4. DEDICATED HOSTING PACAKGES
There is a 3600 outgoing email hourly limit per domain.
9. EMAIL ATTACHMENT
Our servers have a 30 MB attachment limit for the outgoing emails sent via SMTP and webmail. However, it is recommended that your total attachment size not exceed 30 Megabytes. The reason being that there are a number of factors that can determine how large of a file attachment you may send. These factors include:
-
Your email is MIME encoded, which can increase the size of the email by 40%. This means a 30 MB file is the equivalent of 30MB of space when MIME encoded for sending as an attachment.
-
Any limits your email client has on attachments.
-
Any limits the recipient's server. (for example, Gmail, Yahoo! & Outlook.com all have a 25 MB limit).
-
How much free space is in the recipient's e-mail account, if their mailbox has a size limit. (If their mailbox is full, your message will be rejected.)
-
If you need to send larger files it is recommended that you upload the file to your account and then email a link to the file.
Email Client Limitations
Outlook 2013
By default Outlook 2013 has an attachment size limit set to 20 MBs.
10. EMAIL SOFTWARES ( MICROSOFT OUTLOOK / MAC MAIL / OTHER 3rd PARTY TOOL)
We do not offer any additional support for installation, configuration or troubleshooting of emails installed on any other 3rd party tools other than webmail (www.yourdomain.com/webmail) which comes along with your web hosting package. However, we will send you the general steps needed to configure emails to outlook / mac / mobile devices.

(i) Service Downtime is a period of previously unplanned interruption of services wherein the customer is unable to access the WebIncorp network and /or the server. Such an interruption should have been caused as a result of a problem / snag / issue within the immediate network segments of WebIncorp and should have been confirmed by the company. Downtime is measured as the sum of all the period(s) (in case there has been more than one such instance) within a calendar month. For any such period of service unavailability, the technical support and services staff of WebIncorp would be on stand-by to assist, provide information and update customers.
Any downtime which is fallout of using external / third-party software and / or applications by the customer will not be calculated by WebIncorp. The customer shall indemnify WebIncorp of any such incident. WebIncorp shall not be liable to give any credit / refund in such cases.
(ii) Maintenance Downtime is the period when WebIncorp’s networks and / or the customer’s servers may be down or not reachable owing to maintenance and / or repair work being performed by the WebIncorp engineers and administrators. Customers will be given prior information atleast 24 hours before such an activity is undertaken. Such a communication shall be carried out through emails. WebIncorp shall make every feasible attempt to carry out such maintenance activity within a time window best suitable to the customer, however there is no guarantee of this happening.
