What does Host4Planet Solutions consider "Adult
Material?"
Any site whose revenue is gained in part or whole from its adult content.
Photos or videos showing frontal nudity on either men or women for non-scientific
or non-artistic purposes.
Photos or videos showing graphic violence or death.
Revenue-generating hyperlinks to sites who violate policy #1.
Why does Host4Planet Solutions have this policy?
A virtual server is a shared environment where many websites & domains reside
on each particular server. This being said, consider that an average "adult site"
gets more hits than 100 standard websites. Some of the smaller adult sites get around
5 GB of transfer per day. With these types of resources being utilized, our servers
would be severely slowed if we allowed these high traffic sites to also reside on
our servers. On top of that, we would be forced to raise our prices to pay for the
additional bandwidth. We strive to keep our service offering fast and inexpensive,
and our bandwidth clear; therefore, adult sites are not an option.
Host4Planet Solutions reserves the right to decide what it considers "adult
content", "adult material", "sexually explicit", or "sexually related".
Let us know if you are unsure of the approval of your site before placing an order.
