Unlimited Features
What do you mean by “unlimited disk space and bandwidth/data transfer” We do not set limits on the disk space and bandwidth (data transfer) that we provide in plans that are marked “Unlimited”. We want you to have the resources available to you to build a great online presence.
Even though we want you to succeed, we need to ensure that we’re providing all of our customers with optimum service. As such we do require all of our customers to be fully compliant with our Excessive Resource User Policy/Terms of Service and utilize disk space and bandwidth related to normal operation of a personal or small business web site.
If a customer’s hosting account is found to have violated the client content, excessive resource user policy and/or is storing files for archiving purposes, the contents will be removed and while we make best effort to contact customers beforehand, can occur without notice.
Excessive Resource User Policy
Resources are defined as disk space, bandwidth, and/or computing resources (cpu, memory, disk i/o) utilization. Gogetspace offers a shared hosting service in which environment customers may share resources with other customers; therefore it is imperative that Gogetspace control any excessive usage by customers so that they do not disrupt the service quality of other customers using the same resources. A hosting account is considered using “Excessive amounts of resources” when it consumes 100% of 1 CPU core, and/or 1 GB Memory and/or 20 concurrent connections also known as “Computing Resources”, and/or “Resources”, and/or “Resource Usage”. There are numerous issues that could cause such problems, including but not limited to: cgi scripts, FTP, HTTP, SMTP etc. To prevent service disruption for other customers, a hosting account which exceeds the included computing resources will be slowed down automatically for as long as the resources are being overused. Gogetspace will make every reasonable effort to notify customer prior to suspension, however, Gogetspace may suspend any offending hosting account prior to notifying the customer of the account in the event that service disruption to other customers was/is caused. The customer who is using “excessive resources” may be asked to upgrade his/her package to a more suitable hosting package, such as but not limited to a premium account, Virtual Private Server or Dedicated Server. Gogetspace will be the sole and final arbitrator as to what constitutes as a violation of this policy. Customers have access to their Resource Usage within their control panel.
No "Spam"
UCE/UBE or “Spam” originating from a server located on our network or associated with a Gogetspace server is not tolerated. This includes any email that promotes websites hosted on a server located on the Gogetspace network but is sent from an e-mail address not associated with that Gogetspace account. Client shall not use their Gogetspace services for chain letters, junk mail, bulk-email, or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. Gogetspace reserves the right to deactivate or terminate any account(s) upon any indication of such activity without notice.
Excessive Exploits

It is the responsibility of our web hosting clients to maintain the latest exploit free version of the scripts.

It is the client’s responsibility to ensure that payment is made to Gogetspace prior to the renewal date and although Gogetspace sends renewal notices to our customers prior to their renewal date, because of the ability for a customer to change their contact email addresses without notifying Gogetspace, the customer is ultimately responsible for remembering their renewal date and to make sure payment is made upon the renewal. Failure to keep an account in good standing and/or service renewals paid for will result in service deactivation until the account and or service renewal is paid for in full.
Renewals
It is the obligation of the Gogetspace customer to know when their account comes up for renewal and if their intention is to non-renew their account they must fill out the Gogetspace cancellation form 5 business days prior to their account’s renewal date to ensure that Gogetspace billing department receives the cancellation request well in advance of the renewal date so that they can stop any renewal charges. Gogetspace clients receive email notification 7 days prior to the renewal date of their account informing them that their renewal date is approaching. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that Gogetspace has a valid email address for which we can send out renewal notices to our clients. If Gogetspace does not receive a cancellation request prior to the customer’s renewal we will renew the clients’ account on the renewal date and we will apply the appropriate charges. Accounts will be automatically renewed under the same time and fee structure as the plan that the client signed up for (unless plan changes were made or upgraded between the time when the client signed up & their renewal date). The 30 day money back guarantee applies only to the start date of the clients service with Gogetspace and does not apply to renewals of service.
Late Fees
Clients have the option to pay an invoice at any time by logging into their Gogetspace billing account and submitting a payment. An invoice that is not paid by the due date is automatically marked overdue in the system. If an invoice is overdue by more than five (5) days (the grace period), the account is automatically suspended and a minimum of $5.00 or 5% of the total value of the invoice will be added as a late fee. To reactivate an account that is suspended for failure to submit a payment within the grace period, a payment for the original invoiced amount and the late fee must be submitted to Gogetspace.
Cancellation, Refunds and 30 Days money Back guarantee

As a part of our strive to achieve industry leading customer satisfaction, the customer will be refunded all hosting charges made to their credit card minus any setup fees, domain name or add-on costs which are non-refundable. The guarantee does not apply to accounts with non-use, misuse, and/or abuse of this agreement. Domain name registrations & dedicated servers are also non-refundable.

Web site files are the responsibility of the Gogetspace customer and should a Gogetspace customer decide to cancel their service it is the customer’s responsibility to make sure that they have backed up & downloaded the web site files and any emails from the Gogetspace server prior to requesting that Gogetspace cancels their account. Once the cancellation request has been submitted to Gogetspace a cancellation of the web site hosting service may occur any time after the request is received by Gogetspace and when a cancellation request is completed the client’s hosting account with Gogetspace and their web site files are permanently removed from the Gogetspace servers.
