Terms of Service

Account Settings / Email Address

Your account is activated after the payment transaction has been completed (the amount has been charged). It is up to you to decide whether to use a valid or invalid email address in your account.

If there is any complaint or if we need to contact you, we will contact you using your primary email address on your customer panel. For this reason, it is in your best interest to enter your e-mail address in a correct way. Entering the wrong contact information can cause poor results, such as your account being closed.

Transfer

Our transfer team takes maximum effort throughout your transfer to Kodcenter. The transfer process is a free service that is provided only for the convenience of users. Kodcenter cannot guarantee whether the move is possible or not nor the time in which it can be completed.

Each hosting company is organized differently, and some hosting platforms store data incompatible or custom made. This can make the transfer unsuitable or rather difficult. We'll do the best we can, but in some cases, we can't help you with the transfer. If the number of sites to be transferred is more than 10, please ask for price information. The free transfer service only covers a period of 15 days from the start date of your membership.

Kodcenter uses central DNS structure. For this reason, you must delete the account that you do not use when you move from one server to another, because a website does not work on two different servers. If you do not delete the account you do not use, our technical team may delete the hosting account on the server where your website is not active during the checks it performs.

Content

All services provided by Kodcenter must be used within the legal framework. Kodcenter accepts Swedish laws. Any written, audible or visual content provided on Kodcenter servers may not be in violation of Swedish laws.

Customers should guarantee that Kodcenter will not be damaged by the services it offers.

If you believe that your copyrights or trademark rights have been violated, you can e-mail us at abuse@kodcenter.com. If the license is in question, we may need the necessary documentation.

It is forbidden to use shared hosting as a backup or storage. In the "FTP" field, only the control panel backup can be compressed as tar.gz, .rar, .zip, etc. format in one copy and have a maximum size of 2 GB (Backups exceeding 2 GB is deleted without any notice).

The maximum database sizes, cron entries, processor, number of files, e-mail, etc., and the service-specific limits are set out on the sales page of the respective services.

These applications can be done with or without informing the customer.

For individual, SEO, ready-to-use and reseller hosting services, a single file may not exceed 500 MB.

Whereas, the maximum for enterprise or high CPU hosting services is 750 MB for a single file.

Resource Usage – INODE’s

The maximum number of INODE for individual, SEO, ready-to-use and reseller hosting services is 200,000 and is set to 400,000 for enterprise or high CPU hosting services. The system does not allow customers to exceed these INODE numbers, you cannot receive any email when your INODE limit is reached, nor can you upload any files to your website. It is therefore important that you check your INODE number on the control panel display.

Services that exceed 50,000 INODE or 4 GB file size limit, for individual, SEO, on-site and reseller hosting or 75,000 INODE or 6GB file size limit, for enterprise and high CPU hosting services, are automatically disabled from the backup service to secure average use of the backup service. Any backup of the site that is exceeding the limit is not received by the system. Each file (webpage, image, email, log file, folder etc.) uses 1 INODE.

We do not like to freeze accounts of users that do not exceed the usage limit that much; however, we often review and/or freeze accounts of users who create and delete large-sized files, create hundreds of thousands of files, or cause damage to the system.

Email Limit

Shared hosting is subject to the hourly delivery limit. Hosting accounts that are subject to individual, reseller, and SEO hosting services can send 100 emails per hour. Enterprise hosting accounts can send 400 emails per hour. Accounts with individual, reseller, and SEO hosting services can send 4000 emails monthly and accounts subject to enterprise hosting services can send 8000 email monthly. If you need more than these limits, please contact our sales team.

In shared hosting services, the maximum size of an email account is limited to 2 GB. E-mail accounts that exceed 2 GB size are closed to incoming mail traffic and new emails never reach the relevant account. Customers can view the size of their e-mail accounts through the control panels. This limit is defined as 4 GB in enterprise hosting accounts.

Backup Limit

For individual, SEO, on-site and reseller hosting services that exceed 50,000 INODE or 4 GB file size limit, corporate and high CPU hosting services to exceed 75,000 INODE or 6 GB file size limit, the backup service is automatically disabled from the backup service in order to fix the average usage.Kodcenter takes a daily, weekly and monthly backup in some of the services so that all data is not lost when any hardware problem occurs. These backups are not intended to be used by users but to prevent data from being lost when there are any technical problems.

Traffic Usage

According to the package you purchased, you will have a certain traffic limit. If this limit is exceeded, the purchased services may be automatically suspended until the next month or more traffic is purchased. Keeping track of traffic used is the customer’s responsibility. Unused traffic cannot be transferred to the next month. In addition to the package, any additional use of the traffic you have purchased will be invoiced the following month and you agree to pay the fee within the requested time without objection.

For customers using unlimited traffic hosting; the accounts will not be frozen or deleted due to traffic as long as they do not exceed the resource usage and they meet the conditions in the contract of the package they received. The bandwidth in web hosting packages with unlimited traffic is limitless only for your site for which you purchased the service. You cannot use traffic on other sites.

Uptime Guarantee

Shared hosting and reseller servers are monitored 24 hours a day; we guarantee to intervene as soon as possible in case of any interruption in any of our servers.

Reseller: Customer Responsibility

Reseller customers are responsible for providing support to their own customers. Kodcenter does not provide any support service to reseller customers. If the customer of our reseller contacts us for support, we will inform him / herself about how and where to obtain support. Support requests, including security issues, can only be made by the reseller. In addition, resellers are also responsible for the content and behavior of their customers. When Kodcenter detects any circumstance, which is contrary to the contract, the reseller is considered as responsible.

Important note: If reseller’s customer’s accounts are inaccessible and they are not able to communicate with the reseller, Kodcenter will try to reach the reseller using information (mobile or fixed telephone, email) for 4 business days. If the reseller cannot be reached, the necessary security and ownership validations can be made in order to avoid any negative impressions by customers where the hosting service is transferred from the reseller to Kodcenter by creating a new account. In this case, the reseller is not entitled to any rights or to claim compensation.

Shared Hosting

Users using a shared hosting service cannot provide hosting. If you want to provide hosting services, you must have a reseller account or a non-shared server service.

About Virtual and Physical Servers

It is the sole responsibility of the customer to have a valid e-mail account and to ensure the security of personal passwords that are up-to-date and accurate on the Kodcenter client account and to secure the passwords that can access the server. Kodcenter does not perform any backup operations for servers, it is entirely the customer's responsibility to manage and create backup operations. If you wish, you can purchase additional hard disk or backup services for the backup system and manage your backups; this is the simplest solution we can offer. If you need a second hard disk or backup solution, you can contact sales@kodcenter.com. Shared hosting rules do not apply to server services. Unless otherwise specified, or unless the backup service is purchased, no backup of the server services is performed, and the security of the data is the responsibility of the customer.
