We do not offer any kind of support or custom configurations in the additional services of SSH/Terminal, python, rubygems and nodej.js. The additional services indicated require sufficient knowledge to use them. Please, if you do not have the necessary knowledge, do not use any of the mentioned services, especially SSH/Terminal, any action could be fatal for your account.

5.A INTRODUCTION CPANEL ACCOUNTS

AtresHost is a legal service and we have all the official licenses for the software we use to run our servers.

Beware of companies offering unlimited cPanel accounts. The official accounts model offered by cPanel charges for each and every account created, so companies that offer “Reseller with unlimited accounts at a low price” plans are probably using hacked or pirated cPanel licenses or are covering the information in their terms of service. Hiring services from such companies to try to save some money is very dangerous, you risk that at any time the service will be removed, losing all your information, customers and damaging your reputation, because cPanel is aware of the problem that these illegal businesses pose and are working on blocking and eliminating the use of “nulled” licenses.

5.B CPANEL ACCOUNTS IN ATRESHOST

The cPanel accounts model for Reseller services allows you to create unlimited cPanel accounts without any restrictions.

Each plan includes a fixed number of accounts for free. Once that limit is reached, you will be charged 0.45€/m (tax included) for each additional account created in your reseller network. Suspended accounts are included in the account count, so you will need to be aware of suspensions.

*The price of additional cPanel accounts for the Reseller Hosting Starter plan is 0,65€/m per account.

The invoicing of additional cPanel accounts will be made in a complementary invoice to the Reseller service contracted on the 20th of each month

Free accounts included in each Reseller plan:

  • Starter: 5 accounts
  • Basic: 15 accounts
  • Advanced: 30 accounts
  • Unlimited: 60 accounts
  • Deluxe: 100 accounts

6. ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR SPAM

We have a zero tolerance stance against sending unsolicited email and spam. Any user who sends spam will have their account suspended with or without notice.

Websites advertising through SPAM cannot be hosted on our servers. This provision includes, but is not limited to SPAM sent via fax, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity on any blacklist may be hosted on our servers. Any account whose IP is on our “blacklist” will be immediately suspended.

The suspension of an account for SPAM and the subsequent cancellation of the suspension requires a payment of 400€ and the express commitment of the client not to violate the SPAM sending policy again.

AtresHost reserves the right to change or disable any website, account, database, or other component that does not comply with our established policies, or to make these modifications in an emergency situation at its sole discretion.

7. BACKUPS AND DATA LOSS

Use of the service is at your own risk. AtresHost is not responsible for files and data residing on your account and the possibility of loss of backups through Jetbackup. User agrees to take full responsibility for the files and data transferred.

We recommend our users to download a monthly backup of the files in their account to their computers. AtresHost is not responsible under any circumstances if the user does not keep his data safe, being his sole responsibility.

Jetbackup backups are complete and are performed on a weekly basis, being Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 00:00 when the tasks are executed. Each backup is stored for a full week.

As an alternative to Jetbackup, you can use the cPanel Backup application to make backups manually. Remember to delete the backup from the server once it has been downloaded to your computer. Backups are not allowed to be hosted on the server and are automatically deleted on a weekly basis.

Use of Jetbackup constitutes acceptance of the user agreement.

8. SUSPPENSIONS AND CANCELLATIONS

AtresHost reserves the right to terminate your account at any time with or without notice.

Any abuse that is detected by our staff in any medium or format will result in the suspension or cancellation of your services. Reactivation of the service will be subject to a 400€ surcharge and the client’s express commitment not to violate our terms of service again if the suspension is repeated 3 times. If the account suspension is for a serious violation of the terms, we may apply at our discretion a penalty of up to 400€ to lift the account suspension without the need to have been suspended 3 times.

If you do not want to continue using the services provided by AtresHost, please log in to your Client Area and send a support ticket to the “CANCELLATIONS” department requesting the cancellation of the service(s).

The cancellation request must be made prior to the issuance of the renewal invoice (renewal invoices are generated 7 days in advance). If you request cancellation with an invoice generated and pending payment, you must first pay 40% of the total invoice before you can process the cancellation of your service(s).

This measure applies only to the following 2 services: VPS servers, dedicated servers and add-ons of both services (dedicated IP…).

The rest of the services you can request the cancellation at any time without having to pay any fee.

If you do not request the cancellation of your service(s), they will be billed on a recurring basis.

Requests for a 14 days refund will be returned once the request has been formalized through the client area. The refund is only possible for the first contract. If you have had an account with us before, have cancelled the service and have contracted it again on the same account or on a new one, you will not be able to request a refund.

Cash deposit:

AtresHost offers its customers the possibility of paying invoices by cash deposit to our bank account.
