Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: June 8, 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") explains the rules for using services provided by sHosting("we," "us," or "our"), including our current Minecraft server hosting services and any future hosting plans we may later introduce.

This AUP forms part of our Terms of Service. Violations may result in suspension, termination, data removal, abuse reporting, or other action we consider necessary to protect our services, users, or third parties.

1. General Rule

You may not use our services for unlawful, abusive, harmful, deceptive, or resource-disruptive activities.

2. Prohibited Content and Activity

The following are prohibited, whether on free or paid services:

• malware, ransomware, spyware, botnets, crypto-mining abuse, or other malicious software
• phishing, fraud, scams, impersonation, credential theft, or deceptive activity
• spam, unsolicited bulk messaging, abusive Discord bot behavior, or abusive automated outreach
• DDoS activity, packet flooding, unauthorized scanning, probing, intrusion attempts, or exploitation
• hosting, storing, transmitting, or facilitating illegal content or illegal activity
• copyright infringement or distribution of material you do not have rights to use
• attempts to bypass imposed limits, restrictions, suspensions, quotas, or security controls
• reselling or sharing services in a way that creates abuse, fraud, or operational risk without permission

3. Minecraft Hosting Rules

When using our Minecraft server hosting services, you may not:

• host servers used for fraud, malware delivery, or other illegal activity
• operate servers that intentionally attack, exploit, or disrupt other networks or services
• abuse system resources in a way that harms node stability or other customer services
• use unauthorized software or content where you do not have the rights to use or distribute it

4. Resource Usage and Fair Use

You may not use our services in a way that unreasonably degrades the experience of other users or puts our infrastructure at risk. We may limit, suspend, or terminate services that create excessive CPU, memory, disk, network, or operational load.

Free services may be subject to stricter limits, lower priority, reduced support, or faster suspension if they create abuse, instability, or excess demand.

5. Enforcement

We may take action without prior notice where necessary, including:

• suspending or terminating a service or account
• removing, blocking, or disabling access to content or activity
• restricting network, storage, or compute access
• preserving logs and records for abuse investigation or legal compliance
• reporting activity to upstream providers, platforms, payment processors, or authorities when appropriate

Serious abuse, fraud, or chargeback-related activity may result in immediate and permanent termination without refund.

6. Abuse Reports

If you need to report abuse, please contact us at legal@shosting.tech and include as much relevant detail as possible, such as timestamps, IPs, service identifiers, screenshots, invoice references, or logs.

7. Policy Changes

We may update this Acceptable Use Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide at least seven (7) days' notice where practical before the updated policy takes effect.
