4 Policies

Providing seamless, high-standard service to all our users is our top priority. The rules and limits mentioned in package details have been determined within the scope of this priority. Accordingly, consumption of disk, traffic, CPU, and other resources at levels that would adversely affect our main system and users sharing this system in any way is not permitted.

All our individual and corporate users have the right to use a healthy email service. All measures we take, such as our zero-tolerance policy against spam, are aimed at ensuring the continuity of this service.

We are aware that data can be valuable to our users regardless of the service they have. However, we cannot know how valuable it is. We expect our users to notify us if this value exceeds the monthly hosting service fee. Therefore, we recommend that our users regularly back up their sites to their computers even if they have purchased a backup service. We want every user to know that 100% of the backup responsibility belongs to them regardless of the service they receive. In the event of possible data loss, even if no additional backup service has been purchased from us, if we have backups taken against system errors available, we are happy to share these backups with them.

We would like to state that our packages and the resources and limits of these packages are always controlled based on fair use principles, and all operations are carried out with this principle in mind.
