MODIFICATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE

SST Host reserves the right to change the terms, conditions, and notices under which the SST Host Web Site is offered, including but not limited to the charges associated with the use of the SST Host Web Site.

Modifications

.1 We reserve the right to modify this Agreement at anytime by posting a new agreement on our site.

.2 In case, any modification to the agreement is unacceptable to you, your only recourse will be to terminate this agreement. In case you continue to access any of our services after that time you will be deemed to have accepted any change.

.3 Further, we reserve the right to change or discontinue sale of specific products or services or its prices, from time to time, which will be posted on the website.

Changes

.1 If Customer makes requests for any change in the Services, and such change results in increased cost of any nature to SSTHost, or will require additional time for performance of SSTHosta€?s obligations, or if SSTHost is otherwise adversely affected by such change, the schedule, warranty, price and other terms and conditions of the purchase order and Agreement may be equitably adjusted by agreement of the Parties. In no event shall SSTHost be obligated to proceed with any change unless the foregoing adjustments have been agreed upon in writing by the Parties.

.2 Notwithstanding the above, at any time and with prior consent of Customer in case of material changes, SSTHost reserves the right to make changes in design, construction, arrangement and provision of Services; provided such changes do not result in any increase in the price or time for performance or alter any performance guarantees or warranty obligations set forth herein. Customer shall not unreasonably withhold its consent in case of material changes.

.3 Registered Email ID Modifications

i) Request sent from registered email id a€“ The client needs to send address and ID proof scan copy for cross verification of account ownership. The change in email ID can be immediately done if the address proof provided by the client matches with SSTHosta€?s records for that particular client.

ii) No access of registered email id a€“ The client needs to send us an email mentioning the reason for the change in email ID. We further analyze the situation by sending the mail to the registered email ID for the requested change. We make the changes in email ID after getting positive response from registered email ID. We automatically make the changes if we dona€?t get any response from registered email ID within next 48-72 hrs (mail sent time).

iii) Though in terms of new ICANN regulations, any change in email ID for any gTLD domain name results in locking of the domain name for 60 days and which will not allow the transfer of the domain name to any other registrar. This locking safeguards the domain name from any cyber crime like domain theft.

Domain Name / Hosting, etc.

The following more applies to specific services, offered by SSTHost:

B) Domain Renewals a€“ Domain Names are to be renewed every year and it is customera€?s legal responsibility to keep track of the expiry dates. For the convenience, SSTHost may notify you about the expiry reminders through emails, but you should maintain the record at your end also and made payments in advance for timely renewals. (Domains will be delete from system if you not renew domain before the expiry date.)

C) Data Transfer a€“ Due to time taken in the transfer process varying from Registrar to Registrar, no guarantee will be taken that how much amount of time it will take to transfer a domain. If the transfer of the domain is done by SSTHost on behalf of the account holder a handling fee may be incurred. If the customer cancels service during the transfer period for any reason, all charges are considered earned.

Reseller Hosting Policy

Addon Domain/Multi Domain is not permitted in out limited space shared hosting plans and clients will not be able to add any domain as add-on/multi-domain domain & they need to add it as new cpanel/plesk account.

Nameservers and Servers

The propagation time for changes to reflect would be 48-72 hours and it can even exceed due to registry problems, ISP issues or technical factors whatsoever.

Explanation of Unlimited term in plans Although SSTHost offers unlimited services as it comprised of ample of resources but some constraints must be applied to the services so that users can not over-use and should not access other kind of resources which were not allowed to them respectively. There are some plans on which SSTHost does not allow any kind of restrictions as they are under the terms and policy regulations but on certain web hosting plans, SSTHost does not place any kind of limits on the amount of particular resources a single client may use. SSTHost formulates every reasonable effort to provide clients with the disk space and bandwidth resources needed for their websites within the limitations of these Terms of Service particulars. SSTHost monitors all servers via automated and non-automated methods to help ensure no single client adversely impacts other clients located on the same server. Note: Shared web hosting plans are basically for website hosting and the storage of backups, file repositories, music files, videos, photo archives, data storage in the extension like like .jpg, .png, .mp3, .mp4, .pdf, .wav, .zip, .rar and similar are strictly prohibited. Terms violators may have their accounts terminated without any refund back. In case your website has videos then only .flv & .3gp formats are allowed with size limit as 4 MB/video. In case of VIP hosting it is made clear to you that you shall be allowed to consume up to a maximum 8% of CPU usages, can send 100 mails per hour per domain and 15 mails within 5 minutes including all cc, bcc and to. In similar manner maximum 4% CPU resources & 50 MB RAM per account can be devour in case of shared hosting and SSTHost shall allow only 200 MB mail box size , 2 GB as total mail box size per domain. It is further clarified that in case of shared hosting Maximum 200 mails can be sent per domain with total recipients 25 while mailing 25 mails per 5 min. Maximum database size 75mb per hosting account. We allow only max 10 FTP per hosting account even in case of Unlimited Domains Hosting Plans, On shared hosting maximum disk size can be use upto 10GB. You cana€?t create subdomain for testing applications/testing projects/demo projects, In subdomains you can create only related to main website for eg: blog.yourdomain.com, crm.yourdomain.com

Reselling Reselling is strictly not permitted on Shared hosting plans. If reselling is required, a reseller plan must be purchased. All the domains for a particular shared hosting account required to have single ownership. SSTHost holds the full right to suspend/terminate the shared hosting accounts that have domains with multiple ownerships.

Concurrent Processes Limitation

What Is a Process ? Processes are the execution of a command within the server that completes a specific task. An example would be accessing your email account and responding to a letter. This action is achieved through a series of processes that normally complete within moments of each other. The process limitation depends on the account hosting type. Shared and Reseller Shared and Reseller plans are limited to 20 simultaneous processes per cPanel. Most sites will work perfectly with a 20 concurrent processes limit. Processes open and close so quickly that they hardly ever overlap. If a user has between 15-19 IMAP processes running, our system automatically kills any process running over 5 minutes. If there are more than 20 IMAP processes running, our system will automatically kill any process running for longer than 2 minutes. Note: We not offer refund without any support/service related issue as you should provide a ticket id which not resolve by us within 96 hours of maximum time.
