The customer is responsible for backing up their data. Our company cannot be held responsible for possible data losses.
100% migration guarantee cannot be provided for free site migration service.
Unlimited features are based on fair use principles. The purpose is for our customers to use their packages in good faith without hitting any limits. CPU limit based on this principle is applied to packages. The fair use monthly traffic checkpoint for our Hosting Packages is 50GB. The fair use disk usage checkpoint is 10GB. For our Virtual Server Packages, there is no traffic usage checkpoint and/or limited traffic limit.

In all hosting packages, alias (park/alias) domains can only be used for mirroring the existing website. For uses other than website publishing (mail, etc.), Hostopya may suspend the relevant services without prior notice.
Addon/Alias/Park domain names used in hosting services can be used if they are registered as a domain service in the user account. In case of using domain names that do not belong to the user or are registered with a different company, it is up to the user to prove the right to use the domain name. Hostopya may stop publishing these additional domain names or remove them from the hosting service when deemed necessary.
The use of any function or library that may affect server security is not permitted in our shared hosting infrastructure.
No additional functions can be provided beyond the PHP functions provided through the control panel in the shared hosting infrastructure. Users who wish to install third-party modules on standard applications (WordPress, Opencart, etc.) must check these functions before installing the applications.

In cases where package limits or fair use principles are exceeded, the system may automatically perform throttling, stopping, redirecting to a special page, or restriction.
hostopya.com may make IP, server, and infrastructure changes for active packages without notifying the user when deemed necessary, regardless of resource usage or criteria such as server performance.
The use of campaigns, promotions, discounts, free additional time, and other benefits is specific to the company and individual unless otherwise stated. If it is determined that the benefit provided through accounts created with different names, emails, phone numbers, etc. is used outside the established rules, Hostopya may suspend the relevant account and service without notice and request payment of the difference arising from the benefit.
Each account has a single administrator account. If a user opens accounts with different or similar names or information, Hostopya may suspend the relevant accounts and services without notice. It may close access to accounts.

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.
