Illegal Actions
Clients are only allowed to use DigitalBerg Web Hosting’s server for lawful purposes. Spreading material that violates any country, federal, or Local guideline is forbidden. Thus, child pornography is firmly prohibited, as is including any copyrighted information when the client does not have copyright or a proper license on DigitalBerg Web Hosting’s server. In addition, using DigitalBerg Web Hosting’s servers or network to plan or support illegal activities is also prohibited.
Hacking Activities
Any website that focuses on sharing hacking tools or discussing hacking activities is forbidden. Also, using DigitalBerg Web Hosting’s network or computer systems to access any network, system, or service without the owner’s consent is prohibited.
Interruptions of Service
Any action that causes DigitalBerg’s network, servers, or outside network to experience service interruptions is forbidden. An example is performing denial-of-service attacks or spreading maliciously configured software.
Anonymous Proxies
DigitalBerg does not allow anonymous proxies on its servers or networks, as they are easily abused and can negatively impact any connected servers or networks.
On Spamming
Client agrees not to use or make available on his or her website the tools or methods to send usenet postings or unsolicited emails, or to use DigitalBerg Web Hosting’s server to spread usenet postings or unsolicited emails, or to advertise their DigitalBerg-hosted website via usenet postings or unsolicited emails. A complaint about these spamming activities will be treated as a serious matter and will result in immediate account cancellation, with no refund.
Harvesting of Personal Info
To gather or use email addresses, screen names or other personal ID information without the consent of the ID’d person is strictly prohibited. That includes all phishing, Internet scamming, spidering, harvesting, and password robbery.
Blacklist
If the IP numbers assigned to your account (assigned by DigitalBerg) is listed on an abuse database or blacklist, you will be in AUP violation and DigitalBerg may, at its discretion, take action to protect its IP numbers, by suspending or terminating your service, or other means seen to be reasonable by DigitalBerg, irrelevant of whether those IP actions were listed there due to your actions. An example of a blacklist is Spamhaus.
Investment Sites
These include egold exchange and FOREX.
To Impersonate or Spoof
Strictly forbidden is the usage of DigitalBerg’s network to impersonate someone else or an entity, whether that occurs through email, online forums or another method. Included here are spoofed emails and network packet headers, regardless of whether they contain malicious intent.
Spamdexing
Client agrees not to participate in actions related to Spamdexing, Black Hat SEO, or scraper sites, as they negatively affect server performance and are not permitted by DigitalBerg.
Personal Data Backup
Aside from DigitalBerg Dedicated Server products, the client agrees to use DigitalBerg Web Hosting’s servers primarily to host a website and associated email capabilities. Thus, data uploaded must be largely for this purpose. The intention of DigitalBerg Web Hosting servers is not to be a data backup or archiving tool. DigitalBerg Web Hosting has the right to discuss and negotiate an additional fee with the client and/or to cease backups/archives as DigitalBerg Web Hosting deems appropriate.
Should the client exceed their allocated transfer bandwidth for a month, they are billed at a rate of £1 per excess 10GB.

Abusive Scripts
Forbidden are abusive scripts or processes that affect another client’s ability to use their provided services adequately. Examples include CPU-intensive CGI/PHP scripts and websites that exceed the acceptable traffic levels of a shared hosting environment.
Bouncers & IRC Bots
All “bouncers” (such as BNC) and IRC bots are banned.
BitTorrent Software
DigitalBerg Shared Hosting services do not allow BitTorrent software, as it is quite often (and easily) abused and mistreated.
Proxy Software
Any proxy software, whether anonymous or not, is forbidden within DigitalBerg Shared Hosting services.
Network Daemons
Any process that opens a network socket to accept connections from outside networks is forbidden. Processes can only attach to the local host, but are contained by the limits placed on other processes. They are not permitted to use more than their reasonable share of resources and cannot interfere with other clients’ actions.
