Domain Registrations
We are a Nominet Registrar and as such may provide you with a domain name via Nominet. Please be aware that by registering a .uk domain name, you are bound by Nominet’s Terms and Conditions https://www.nominet.org.uk/uk-domain-names/registering-uk-domain/legal-details/terms-and-conditions-domain-name-registration
All non-UK domains are provisioned through our registrar partner OpenSRS / Tucows Domains. As such we cannot guarantee the availability of a particular domain, however any charges incurred in the registration of a domain which is subsequently found to be unavailable will be refunded in full.
Both UK and non-UK domains are provisioned through third-party registrars.
Please note that the registrars may reject the registration of a domain if invalid information is provided at the time of order. All TLDs and ccTLDs have differing validation requirements which are also subject to change. As such we are not responsible for the validation of such data and it is your responsibility to check that a domain registration has been completed by the receipt of a ‘domain registration confirmation’ email. In the unlikely event a domain is rejected by the registrar, you will not receive such an email and we would need to be alerted to investigate this with the registrar directly and process the registration manually.

MySQL Databases may be limited to 1024 megabytes in size at our discretion. Databases in excess of this size may, only via prior consent be ran under our supervision.
Your use of the server resources shall not endanger the capacity and operation of the shared server.
Any shared or reseller hosting service / account may use no more than the resources outlined against its package.
Accounts that are deemed to exceed those resource limits (by examination of LVE faults or at the discretion of collecthost) will be suspended pending further investigation.
Where we deem necessary and within our discretion, we reserve the right to account removal, without guarantee of backup availability to ensure the stability of the service to others on the same shared server/environment.
We may provide a ‘burstable’ allowance ahead of the resources available to the chosen package, which is provided solely at our discretion. We may on occassion burst the resources of a particular account to maintain stability of the service / server your account is hosted on.
If we see excessive faults / usage against a particular account, we reserve the right to maintain suspension / removal on a permanent basis.

It is within our discretion to terminate or remove a reseller account, should there be repeat attempts to breach the outlined terms and conditions without prior warning.
Whilst the quantity of accounts can be considered ‘unlimited’, we retain the right to impose limits in cases whereby the usage is deemed ‘excessive’, or is consuming more than 25% of the servers overall usage. In such cases, collecthost will try to offer an alternative solution, by means of secondary or replacement products / upgrades.
The content on your website must be linked from an HTML or similarly coded web page with all content freely available to the public. Your website must consist of web pages of a standard design, essentially HTML based text and graphics. Your hosting account should consist mostly of html and php files.

Automatic backups are only available where stated within the marketing collateral for that particular product. Unless otherwise stated, we will not retain backups (for example, VPS servers / dedicated servers).
Our standard shared / reseller backup schedule is as follows…
7 Daily Backups
4 Weekly Backups
Backups are stored off-site, and are managed from within the hosting account.
Whilst we will maintain every effort to ensure backups are complete and available, collecthost cannot be held responsible where backup data s missing or corrupt.
When an account is terminated / removed either by us or the reseller (either through purpose, or human error), we may hold backups of the removed account for a maximum 48 hours. The standard retention policy does not apply post-removal.
You should use email and other related services in full compliance with the terms below:

Each hosting account can be upgraded to a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or the Elastic Cloud. The upgrade is performed by collecthost after You have paid the first month fee. The fee depends on the VPS type chosen by You and is non- refundable. Prorate amount for unused time of the shared hosting account will not be refunded, it will be added to Your account balance in the event of upgrade to VPS. Once the account is transferred to the VPS the Virtual hosting account is terminated and the new VPS account use is governed by the following terms.
Certain situations may deem an upgrade to a VPS, in order to move an account, or service away from services or servers shared by others, such as excessive resource consumption.
Due to the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space we actively conserve IP address space by limiting the IP addresses each web hosting account can use.
Shared hosting accounts may each use only 1 IP address.
Reseller hosting accounts may use up to 10 IP addresses. The number of IPs that are included and the account may use up to are indicated in the plan specification.
The IP address limit is a per account, not a per customer basis. Customers may hold multiple accounts to get access to additional IP addresses. We strongly urge customers to only use IP addresses for essential use and we do require justification for usage.
The provision of additional IP addresses will be chargable.
Use of Traffic (Bandwidth).
Your account monthly traffic may be limited in accordance with the VPS Type. The additional bandwidth is paid and applied on a monthly basis. The fee is non-refundable. If the monthly traffic limit is reached before the end of the month Your account will be suspended until the beginning of the next month.
Disk Space Usage.
Your account disk space is limited in accordance with the VPS Type. Up to 4 GB from the disc space is allocated to the VPS system files and this space cannot be used for storing Your content.
Additional Services.
The initial and renewal fees for each VPS include the number of IPs in accordance with VPS type. Additional IPs can be added to a VPS. In such a case collecthost will charge the appropriate fee for the dedicated IP. The fee is applied and should be paid on a per month basis. The fee is non-refundable.
You can order Additional RAM as extra features to Your VPS account(s). collecthost will charge the appropriate fee for the additional RAM, depending on the amount of RAM ordered. The fee is applied and paid on a monthly basis. The fee is non-refundable. Renewal fee is due for the Additional RAM each month after the initial order, until the upgrade or the VPS account itself is cancelled. You are solely responsible to make the renewal payments in a timely manner. In case no renewal payment is received, collecthost will remove the additional RAM or will suspend the whole VPS account until receiving additional RAM renewal payment.
VPS Servers are not included in r daily, or weekly backups. We strongly encourage you utilise a remote backup facility in the case of data-loss of corruption which may be irretrievable. collecthost cannot be held liable for the loss of data within a VPS.
As part of our VPS products, we may include ‘management’, which is available in the following tiers…

Additional management hours can be purchased, or may be billed at the standard rate of £75+VAT per hour. The support team under a basic management plan will not access a server, and will provide only documentation or references to assist in terms of diagnosing any potentials issues within the server.
Fully Managed / Monitored
Our highest level of management allows us to provide full server administration with up to 3 hours of technical assistance / consultation monthly. We will also monitor your server pro-actively, via our Nagios / check_mk monitoring suite. Tasks will be carried out on request – urgent upgrades /patches will be carried out automatically.

The credit applies to the contracted service. The Client shall not be entitled to any credits under this SLA if any payment of the price for the Services is overdue under the terms of this Agreement. The credit shall be made for the element of the Services that were not available, it will not be made for the whole service. (E.G. If a dedicated server and backup service are ordered, but the backup service is not available for a period of time, the credit will be calculated based on the price of the backup service, not the combined price of the dedicated server and backup service.) Any credit is subject to the Client notifying collecthost within 7 days in writing. This Client agrees the service credits due under this SLA are its sole remedy against collecthost for any non-availability of the Services.
