The purpose of this Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") is to inform all customers of acceptable and anticipated use of Delain Hosting services. Due to the many possible uses of a network comprised of thousands of servers, this AUP serves as a guideline and is not intended to be all-inclusive.

Public Network

The primary purpose of the Delain Hosting public network is to transmit information between customer servers and data storage services.

Customers may use the network for any lawful purpose provided that such use:

  • Does not violate local, state, or federal laws.

  • Does not interfere with the services of other customers.

All customers receive equal access to the public network. Any misuse, abuse, or interference with the network constitutes a violation of this AUP.

Delain Hosting provides standard security services intended to assist customers in protecting, managing, updating, and maintaining stable hosted environments.

These services include network traffic monitoring using technologies such as NetFlow and sFlow. Additional security services may be available for purchase, including:

Server Content

Delain Hosting does not routinely monitor customer server content. Content is generally reviewed only after receiving a verified complaint from a third party.

Content that complies with applicable laws and this AUP will remain online. Legal adult content is permitted. Content determined to violate applicable laws or this policy may be removed or services suspended.
