Content Policy
It is prohibited to publish on our servers contents or references (links) to such contents that: (I) violate or prejudice in any way the intellectual property rights of other persons or other rights; (II) have obscene or pornographic content or violence; (III) have defamatory or slanderous content; (IV) have racial or discriminatory content; (V) contain viruses, trojans or similar; (VI) contain pirated software or are aimed at those who pirate software or practice any similar activities. It is also prohibited to host gaming forums and to use our servers exclusively as storage or broadcasting support (e.g., websites with online movies, mp3 downloads, picture downloads, online radios, etc.).
Prohibited Scripts
Scripts for proxy, anonymizer, IRC scripts, top site scripts, online gaming scripts like Counter Strike (excluding flash games), mail bombers, mass mail or any unsecured email sending scripts, torrent trackers, chat rooms that excessively consume resources and WAP chats, PhpShell and similar scripts for executing commands.
Any attempt to harm servers or clients is strictly prohibited. Any activity that affects the proper functioning of the shared hosting server (examples include, but are not limited to: CPU load above normal limits, mass mailing, very frequent and/or long SQL queries) will be considered abuse and will be appreciated as an attempt to harm other colocated clients.
The maximum consumption accepted for sites is 5% CPU, 5% MEM, and 1.5% MYSQL, and processes can consume a maximum of 10% CPU, higher consumptions may be considered server abuses.
Sending unsolicited commercial messages (SPAM) to promote any website using our servers or through third-party servers to promote any website hosted by us will result in the suspension or cancellation of the client's hosting account, without refund. Email lists can be operated provided that individuals subscribe to receive messages and the procedure for unsubscribing from the lists is published in all messages.
Each hosting account is limited so as not to allow the sending of more than 300 emails within a 60-minute interval. This restriction is necessary to protect the quality of the hosting service. Mass emailing consumes massive server resources, which negatively impacts the quality of services received by clients. The first violation of this policy results in the immediate suspension of the hosting account without refund.
Resource Usage
All accounts are monitored to track server resource consumption. If an account uses a very large amount of server resources, we will contact the respective client to discuss this matter.
If an account uses an excessive amount of resources (memory, processor), the account may be suspended or the script disabled without prior notice, to maintain the proper functioning of the server, within 24 hours from the sending of resource consumption notifications.
Customers can request an improvement in the package or a temporary increase in allocated resources. It is the client's responsibility to contact us in time to request an increase in resources to avoid account suspension.
Resource Allocation for each package:
Cloud Start - 100% CPU, 30 simultaneous processes, 1GB RAM
Cloud Basic - 200% CPU, 50 simultaneous processes, 2GB RAM
Cloud Premium - 300% CPU, 80 simultaneous processes, 3GB RAM

We cannot be held responsible for any confusion in communication as a direct result of the client's failure to make necessary updates. The customer is responsible for maintaining the security of usernames, passwords, and other sensitive information.
Limited liability
We cannot be held responsible for damages caused by the temporary unavailability of our servers, whatever the reason for causing it. This provision also includes damages resulting from the deterioration or loss of data. The customer agrees to indemnify and hold us harmless for any claims, damages, including, without limitation, damages caused to third parties, resulting as a consequence of the use of services causing damages to our customer. The user acknowledges and agrees that in any situation where the user requests damages of any kind from the provider, the total amount of damages requested by the user for any reason and that could be paid by the provider cannot in any way exceed the total amount of fees paid by the user to the provider.
Uptime Guarantee
Web hosting services provided by our company guarantee an average uptime of 99.9%. In the event of uptime lower than the guaranteed one, the Provider undertakes, at the request of the Beneficiary, to credit the Beneficiary's account, proportionally from the value of the monthly subscription, as follows: 10% for uptime between 99.9% and 99%, 25% for uptime between 99% and 98%, 50% for uptime between 98% and 95%, 75% for uptime between 95% and 90%, and 100% for uptime below 90%.

Scheduled maintenance or critical situations, server upgrades.
File Backup
Backups are made daily for files, email boxes, and databases through the backup solution offered by R1Soft, on external storage. However, we do not guarantee the integrity of backups, and backup server data is stored for a maximum of 7 days.
All customers are required to download their own backups from the control panel, from the Backup option. The Provider is not responsible in any way for the loss of information hosted on servers due to user actions, hacking attacks, or errors in applications not associated with the service. For example, the control panel is not associated with the service and is not provided by the Provider, being developed and offered by cPanel.net.
If 30 days of non-payment have passed and the account is deleted from the server, the customer can request the restoration of the site from an older backup. If this is possible, a fee of 25 euros will be charged for this service, only if the site recovery is successfully completed.
Cron Jobs
We do not allow running scripts through cron jobs set at intervals shorter than 30 minutes.
CGI Scripts
CGI scripts can be used by our customers as part of the services offered, but any CGI script specifically designed to negatively affect server performance or network integrity may be stopped without prior notice.

Installation of Additional Services
If the script you want to use requires the activation of other software programs on the server, dds.ro is not obligated to install those programs unless it considers that activating them would not negatively affect the stability or security of the server. Any request for an account upgrade (space/traffic/another package) is made by email or support ticket at least 24 hours before the modification. We do not assume any responsibility if an account upgrade is not performed, and the site's traffic or space is exhausted.
