Even though we recommend you read through all the terms and conditions, we understand that this may be very time consuming. So we have listed some of the key/important areas for you to browse:


If you have a contract (signed contract - if unsure please contact your account manager) with us these Terms and Conditions still apply to your accounts unless areas are stated in the contract that a section or sections work differently to the Terms & Conditions set below.

  1. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SERVICE AGREEMENT
    Host Media shall provide its Services to You (the Customer) under the terms and conditions of this Host Media Customer Agreement. The Agreement is intended to keep the integrity of both Host Media and the Customer and to protect both parties from liability. This Service Agreement will be enforced to ensure the speed, power, performance, and reliability of our services.
    Along with the Order Form and any other documents or agreements explicitly specified in this Agreement, the Customer Agreement constitutes the whole act of convention between Host Media and the Customer, thus being the most significant document of the newly-established relationship. In the case that a court of competent jurisdiction considers that any of the Agreement's provisions is invalid, unenforceable, or void, the remaining ones will completely reserve their validity.
    The Customer's side of the Agreement could be presented by the following parties: an individual with personal demands, being over 18 years of age; a legal entity such as a corporation, a limited liability company etc. that is consistent with countries/state's law system. If a person represents the Customer for some reason, he/she should be legally authorised to act in his/her name, thus accepting, executing and delivering the Agreement. 
    You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that Host Media assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, failure to deliver or store any Customer communication or personalisation settings.
  2. HOST MEDIA HOSTING SERVICES

    • SSH - Please see hosting plan details for packages that have SSH enabled. Contact sales for more information.
  3. PRICE CHANGES
    From time to time we may be required to change our pricing due to market/supplier increases which could affect our business model. In the event of any price change we will notify all affected customers. This could affect hosting, domain or hardware and any other service we provide.
  4. STOPPING OF SERVICES
    We can at any time stop providing services to new and current customers. We will email any affected customers regarding options to move their service to other similiar services.
  5. UNMETERED SERVICES (INCLUDING DISK & BANDWIDTH) / PACKAGES / ADD-ONS
    Limits may be added to hosting space and bandwidth if your hosting service (Shared, Reseller, VPS/VM etc) exceeds the amount of hard drive space or bandwidth that we can supply. Our systems are able to handle large amounts of space and network availability for both hosting space & bandwidth but if your account starts to effect other users accounts on our servers then action may be needed. We will contact you before any limits are added and to discuss ways to handle your account, further fees may be required.
    An example limit may be if your hosting space you require reaches above 100GB (100000MB) or your bandwidth goes past 1TB (1000GB / 1000000MB).
    For VPS/VM/Dedicated Servers, our unmetered bandwidth offering is based on fair usage and all networks are closely monitored. If your service exceed normal web application operations your service maybe limited based on our findings. Normal monthly bandwidth usage is defined between 2-3TB (total combined IN & OUT network usage) unless otherwise stated (e.g. quoted or defined as fixed limits). Constant maxing out of network port speeds will result in speeds lowered to as low as 1Mbps IN/OUT if continue network abuse is seen.
  6. BACKGROUND OPERATIONS/PROGRAMS ON SERVERS
    These programs, named Cron Jobs, can be continually run by Host Media in the background. Their provision suggests additional fee in accordance with system resources used and operational maintenance involved, if needed. Generally, Host Media avoids placing complementary charges upon customers, providing the CronTab service that is integrated in the hosting Control Panel.
    Optional Host Media Services.
    These services, including but not limited to: Site Studio, Mailing Lists and other services offered are provided WITHOUT WARRANTY and WITH NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS. Host Media ADDITIONAL SERVICES OR FEATURES AND VALUE-ADDED SERVICES OR FEATURES ARE OFFERED ON "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. Host Media REJECTS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES.

  7. SERVICE GUARANTEES
    Host Media will guarantee 99.9% Host Media network uptime and 99.9% network stability uptime. This, however, does not refer to problems stemming from:
    • Server Hardware Breakdown
    • User error(s) or purposeful interruption(s) of the user service (e.g. if the client shuts his/her own server down, Host Media is not responsible for the downtime)
    • Failures due to software that is not explicitly supported by Host Media, consequently, if a hardware crash provoked by the customer happens, Host Media is beyond the control and responsibility for the resulting downtime.
  8. BACKUP SERVICES
    As an added no-charge service, Host Media performs occasional backups of its servers that house its web hosting and reseller packages. PRO series VM (VPS) services have snapshots taken, DEV series VM (VPS) services do not have any backups taken. No backups are performed for dedicated server packages, unless the Customer specifically purchases an additional service for this purpose. Any and all backup services provided by Host Media, whether paid or not, are offered with no warranty or guarantee of their date, accuracy, and integrity. The Customer agrees to maintain a backup of their data (files, databases and any other data that the customer defines as critical) at all times on equipment outside of Host Media, or its affiliates (e.g. local computer or backup storage service). Should the Customer fail to retain a backup of their data during an instance of data loss or corruption, and Host Media does not hold a recent, stable, complete or valid copy, the Customer agrees to not hold Host Media liable, as defined in the section "Limitation of Liability".
    If the Customer requires Host Media to restore a backup of their data. the Customer confirms a backup restoration will overwrite any and all current data on the Customer's account. Host Media cannot be held liable if a backup restoration does not complete successfully.
    If you are using our standard shared hosting and your hosting account exceeds 100,000 inodes, the account will not be included in Host Media's automatic backup process.

  33. GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) - HOST MEDIA AS A PROCESSOR
    Host Media is classed as a "processor" as we process personal data on behalf of a data controller (customer). This will be the case when you use the services of Host Media and store personal data on Host Media infrastructure and partnered providers (e.g. the data centers / 3rd party service providers such as cPanel). Within the limit of any technical restrictions, Host Media will process any data stored in accordance with your instructions, and on your behalf. We will provide the required technical services to ensure the data controller can fulfill their requirements of GDPR.
    As a "processor" we will never use the data controllers collected data for our own use. Only on the request of the data controller would we access personal information collected by the data controller. In most cases this would be for the purpose of support on technical issues. Example: A data controller is unable to edit a row in a SQL database that contains personal information.
    It will be the website owners responsibility to ensure their websites 'developer' / 'creator' of the web applications/scripts are secured (a developer is classed as a data processor) and Host Media will take no responsibility for hacked scripts due to insecure code.
  34. PAYMENTS: 3DS, PSD2, DIRECTIVE (EU) 2015/2366 AND CARDINALCOMMERCE
    As part of our payment processing we have ensured all our systems comply with the European Union directive PSD2. PSD2 includes new security requirements that all online businesses that take payments need to comply with. We have registered ourselves with CardinalCommerce® to ensure two-factor authentication (3DS) is enabled on all card payments. As we take renewing and one time payments you will need to complate 3DS on your first payment with us to authenticate your payment. If you already have a card on file with us and have not done a 3DS process you may receive failed payment notifications. In this event you will just need to login to your client portal and manually process your payment via the invoice screen.
    Payment cards (credit or debit) on file will be used for both consumption charges and subscription (renew) charges for your services with us.

  36. NOMINET AGREEMENT FOR .UK DOMAIN REGISTRATIONS
    When registering a .UK domain name through HostMedia you agree to the terms and conditions of Nominet which can be found here: http://www.nominet.uk/go/terms.
