Acceptable Use Policy
This Acceptable Use Policy describes what is and is not allowed when using OffshoreHost.info services. Tailor it to match your legal obligations and risk tolerance.
- Strictly prohibited: spam, phishing, malware distribution, DDoS control servers, child abuse material, and obvious criminal activity.
- High‑risk or controversial content may be subject to additional review or special terms.
- We respond to valid abuse reports and may suspend or terminate services that create excessive legal or operational risk.
- Clients must ensure their usage complies with both local laws and the laws of the hosting jurisdiction.
Enforcement principles
We enforce policy using a risk-based approach. Not all incidents have the same severity. We prioritize cases that threaten network stability, violate law, or impact other clients.
Warning stage
For remediable issues (misconfiguration, compromised CMS, open relay), we may issue a warning and remediation deadline.
Restriction stage
If abuse continues or risk is high, we may restrict network access or suspend services while investigating.
Termination stage
Severe or repeated violations may lead to termination. Emergency action can be immediate for critical abuse categories.
Examples of prohibited behavior
- Bulk unsolicited messaging campaigns and phishing infrastructure.
- Malware hosting, command-and-control distribution, credential theft operations.
- Traffic amplification abuse, scanner floods, and intentional service disruption.
- Fraud operations, identity impersonation campaigns, and repeated payment abuse.
Appeals and review
Clients may request manual review if they believe an action was incorrect. Provide logs, timestamps, and mitigation details. Human review is used for final decisions.
