SPAM free servers. We do not allow any mass mailing to unsolicited email recipients and will stop any service in case your account is proven to be using SPAM. We will also stop new signs once SPAM from a service has been confirmed. We do not allow what's called a "drop page" where SPAM e-mails direct their links to a web page on any service. In addition, we have installed anti-SPAM and Spam detecting software on all of our shared servers at the root level and on our routing filters for VPS and dedicated servers. Not only do we disagree with any use of SPAM, but our network providers will block IPs that have SPAM coming from them. This can leave a VPS or dedicated server unusable after multiple reports. All in all, please do not SPAM from your services at Web Host Pro, or serious issues will follow. We understand in some cases normal email can be reported as SPAM, we consider this with services that have been activated for longer than 3 months. More Information on SPAM free servers

Dedicated servers do not have an auto suspension or termination. Everything for dedicated servers is done manually after direct communication.

In some extreme cases, we will have to suspend the service right away.

We do have strict rules against any content that can be interpreted or seen as under legal age (18) adult content. If you are unsure if your content can be interpreted as underage adult content, it's best to not use Web Host Pro.

Subscriber acknowledges that the service provided is of such a nature that service can be interrupted for many reasons other than the negligence of the company and that damages resulting from any interruption of service are difficult to ascertain. Therefore, the subscriber agrees that the company shall not be liable for any damages arising from such causes beyond the direct and exclusive control of the company.

4.9

Fast-loading websites are really important for Internet surfers, It's a win-win-win for you, them, and us to keep the site loading fast and optimized. This just means don't set a wild cron job to run your script every minute or have a page so long it takes a minute to load. Optimize images, etc... We'll contact you if there is a load issue, it's very rare and easy to fix. Each plan also has power settings to keep the shared servers running fast. The Easy plan has ten percent of the server CPU and four gigs of RAM. The Pro plan has one full CPU (two cores) and twelve gigs of RAM. The Advanced plan has full power from the server. Our current shared, cloud, and VPS server specs are two eight-core (sixteen total) CPUs with two hundred and fifty-six gigs of RAM. Each server also uses sixteen SSD one terabyte hard drives in a Raid 5 system. We keep local and remote backups but cannot guarantee they will always work. It's very important to keep your backups as well. VPS and Dedicated servers are not backed up, so you'll need to have your backup system in place. These are some of the best stable server hardware specs available to date. Overloading websites may need to be upgraded to a plan with more power and any price changes may be removed if the abuse of the server continues for several months. WordPress website overloading may require us to log in and optimize it with security and optimizing plugins.

We have an 8 maximum WordPress install limit per cPanel account. You'll need a second account after 8 or a reseller plan to allow each one to have their account. This is due to the load use needed to run WordPress being too high with a lot of installations on one cPanel account.
