Hi, I own a site with you as well as a site owned ny my boss that I had him open with you. I went back to your home page tonight since I am considering opening a new website.

This site will host several sites, each with it's own URL and will require an IRC chat system. I saw the links for the VPS you are offering, but I was wondering if you offer any dedicated servers that would serve my needs. A VPS may be acceptable but I definately need an IRC chat system.

Thanks for your time with this, I look forward toa reply.

Regards,
Chris

As i know, you can host what you want in a VPS solution, because you have a static processor/memory allotments assigned.

OK, but I specifically asked about an IRC chat system that I would need to install on the server. When I went to the "Buy Now" button, This among other notices was posted int the TOS in orfer to order your service,


QUOTE
To better serve our customers and offer a more reliable and FASTEST possible environment, HOSTONY has developed this acceptable use policy to define the types of behavior that will not be permitted HOSTONY's network. Please report any known violations to abuse@hostony.com

HOSTONY's general policy is to act as a provider of Internet presence. HOSTONY reserves the right to suspend or cancel any customer's access to any or all services provided by HOSTONY when we decide that the account has been inappropriately used. HOSTONY decides what is inappropriate and reserves the right to immediate action to suspend or cancel when abuse is effecting other clients, and without warning when needed. An outline of Specific Acceptable Use Policies are to follow:
Content.
All services provided by HOSTONY may be used for lawful purposes only. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material, material we judge to be threatening or obscene, pornography or material protected by trade secret and other statute. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless HOSTONY from any claims resulting from the use of the service that damages the subscriber or any other party.
Examples of unacceptable content or links:
Pirated Software
Adult Content
Wares sites
Irc Bots
Hate Sites
Hack Programs and archives
HOSTONY will act as the sole arbriter as to what constitutes a violation of this condition. HOSTONY will fully co-operate with the law enforcement in dealing with unlawful activities performed on our network.
Unauthorized use of other people's accounts or computers
Any unauthorized use of accounts or computers by a HOSTONY customer, whether or not the attacked account or computer belongs to HOSTONY, will result in action against the attacker. Possible actions include warnings, account suspension or cancellation, and civil or criminal legal action, depending on the seriousness of the attack. HOSTONY will strongly react to any use or attempted use of an Internet account or computer without the owner's authorization. Such attempts include "Internet scamming" (tricking other people into releasing their passwords), password robbery and so on.

Chat Rooms
We do not allow clients to install their own chat rooms, without approving it with the HOSTONY Support Team. Most chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot allow it as an account option.

CGI based message boards
We don't allow to use CGI based message board scripts (like UBB, UB2K, 360forum, etc. )as such scripts on busy sites bring high load to CPU and memory and at high load can take server down. Please, consider using php based bulleting boards like Vbulleting, phpBB, XMB, Burning board, etc. instead. These boards php and MySQL based and cause much lighter load to the server.

Background Running Programs
We may allow programs to run continually in the background. These are considered on a one-to-one basis and an extra charge will be incurred based on system resources used and operational maintenance needed.

IRC
We currently do not allow IRC or IRC bots to be operated on our servers unless you have prior permission from a HOSTONY system administrator.


If I agreee to those TOS then what is the point of getting VPS. No IRC, no CGI chat?

Perhaps you can make things clearer before I commit to a VPS with you.

Regards,
Chris

Hey, is anyone reading the relpies here?
According to your TOS, I can not run an IRC chat server on my account. Does this also apply to VPS accounts? I am very interested in purchasing a VPS from you but if I can't get my questions answered before I buy then why buy from you??????

I would really appreciate it if you could give me a direct reply to my question. Can I install an IRC chat system on a VPS that I purchase with you?

Regards,
Chris
