This includes the compromise of credentials such as user name and password. You are required to use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used.

You agree to pay for the Services in advance of the time period during which such Services are provided. Subject to applicable laws, rules, and regulations, payments received will be first applied to the oldest outstanding invoice in your billing account. - Autorenewal.

Any applicable taxes will be added to EWH’s invoice as a separate charge to be paid by you. All fees are non-refundable when paid unless otherwise stated. - Late Payment.
All invoices must be paid within ten (10) days of the invoice due date. Any invoice that is outstanding for more than ten (10) days may result in the suspension or termination of Services and the addition of a $5.00 CAD “late fee” to the invoice. Access to the account will not be restored until full payment has been received. If you fail to pay the fees as specified herein, EWH may suspend or terminate your account and pursue the collection costs incurred by EWH, including without limitation, any arbitration and legal fees, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. EWH will not activate new orders or activate new packages for customers who have an outstanding balance on their account.

- Prepayment.
- Cancellation and Refunds
- Money-Back Guarantee.
If an account with a forty-five (45) day money-back guarantee is purchased and then cancelled within the first forty-five (45) days of the beginning of the term (the “Money-Back Guarantee Period”), you will, upon your written request to the EWH Support Team (the “Refund Request”) within ninety (90) days of such termination or cancellation (“Notice Period”), receive a full refund of all basic shared hosting fees previously paid by you to EWH for the initial term (“Money-Back Guarantee Refund”); provided that such Money-Back Guarantee Refund shall be due to you only upon your compliance with, and subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of, this Section (“Cancellation and Refunds”). Requests for these refunds must be made in writing to the EWH Support Team. Refunds will only be issued for basic shared web hosting services and will not include domains, SSL certificates, administrative fees, install fees for custom software or other setup fees, nor will they include any fees for any other additional services. Money-Back Guarantee Refunds will not accrue, and shall not be paid under any circumstances, if you do not provide the applicable Refund Request within the Notice Period. - Refund Eligibility.
Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. For example, if you’ve had an account with us before, canceled and signed up again, or if you have opened a second account with us, you will not be eligible for a refund. Violations of this Agreement will waive your rights under the refund policy. - Non-refundable Products and Services.
There are no refunds on domains, SSL certificates, administrative fees, and install fees for custom software. - Cancellation Process.
You may terminate or cancel the Services by giving EWH written notice by logging in to your Client Area at https://www.easiestwebhosting.com/services/ and clicking Request Cancellation under the relevant product or service. Cancellation will be effective on the account’s renewal date. In such event: (i) you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such cancellation and (ii) EWH may, in our sole discretion, refund all pre-paid fees for basic hosting services for the full months remaining after the effectiveness of such cancellation (i.e. no partial month fees shall be refunded) less any setup fees, applicable taxes and any discount applied for prepayment, provided that you are not in breach of this Agreement.Once we receive your cancellation form and have confirmed all necessary information with you via email, we will inform you in writing (typically email) that your account has been canceled.We require all cancellations to be done through the online form in order to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing that you are prepared for all of your files and emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process aims to reduce the likelihood of mistakes, fraudulent/malicious requests, and to ensure that you are aware that your files, emails, and account may be removed immediately and permanently after a cancellation request is processed. - Domains.
- Domain Renewals.
Domain renewals are billed and renewed thirty (30) days before the renewal date. It is your responsibility to notify EWH’s Billing department to cancel any domain registration at least thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date. No refunds will be given once a domain is renewed. All domain registrations and renewals are final. - Domain Name Fees.
If your plan includes a free domain name and you cancel within 1 year, our standard fee of $15.99 CAD for the domain name (and any applicable taxes) (the “Domain Name Fee”) will be deducted from your refund.
- Domain Renewals.
- Foreign Currencies.
Exchange rate fluctuations for international payments are constant and unavoidable. All refunds are typically processed in Canadian dollars and will reflect the exchange rate in effect on the date of the refund. All refunds are subject to this fluctuation and EWH is not responsible for any change in exchange rates between the time of payment and the time of refund. - Termination.
EWH may terminate your access to the Services, in whole or in part, including deletion or confiscation of all files, content, and/or domain name registrations, without notice in the event that: (i) you fail to pay any fees due hereunder to EWH; (ii) you violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (iii) your conduct may harm EWH or others, cause EWH or others to incur liability, or disrupt EWH’s business operations (as determined by EWH in its sole discretion); (iv) you are abusive toward EWH’s staff in any manner; or (v) for any other lawful reason, including to comply with applicable law, or as otherwise specified in this Agreement. In such event, EWH will not refund to you any fees paid in advance of such termination, and you shall be obligated to pay all fees and charges accrued prior to the effectiveness of such termination.
UPON TERMINATION OF THE SERVICES FOR ANY REASON, USER CONTENT, USER WEBSITES, AND OTHER DATA WILL BE DELETED.
- Money-Back Guarantee.
- Resource Usage.
- Permitted CPU and Disk Usage.
All use of hosting space provided by EWH is subject to the terms of this Agreement.- Shared hosting space may only be used for web files, active email and content of User Websites. Shared hosting space may not be used for storage (whether of media, emails, or other data), including, as offsite storage of electronic files, email or FTP hosts. EWH expressly reserves the right to review every shared account for excessive usage of CPU, disk space and other resources that may be caused by a violation of this Agreement or the Acceptable Use Policy. EWH may, in our sole discretion, terminate access to the Services, apply additional fees, or remove or delete User Content for those accounts that are found to be in violation of EWH’s terms and conditions.
- You may not use a shared hosting account as a backup/storage device with the exception of one cPanel backup of the same account. Please do not take backups of your backups.
- Disk usage is limited by the resources allocated to the specific plan that you have purchased.
- Bandwidth Usage.
Bandwidth usage is subject to the terms of the plan you purchased and can be viewed in your control panel. Exceeding your monthly bandwidth quoata may result in temporary suspension of your account until the following month, until additional bandwidth is purchased, or until your plan is upgraded. Unused bandwidth transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month. You may purchase more bandwidth at any time by contacting our sales department via a support ticket or emailing sales@easiestwebhosting.com. - Inodes. The use of more than 5,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in a warning first, and future suspension if no action is taken. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. User accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes is typically due to Users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past an acceptable amount of inodes. To disable your default mailbox, login to cPanel and choose “Mail”, then “Default Address”, “Set Default Address”, and then type in: “:fail: No such user here”.
- Databases. Shared web hosting accounts may not run any database queries longer than fifteen (15) seconds. Shared or reseller cPanel accounts using more than five thousand (5,000) database tables or hosting a single database that is larger than five (5) gigabytes, or any number of databases that total more than ten (10) gigabytes in size may be reviewed and receive a warning after which the account’s databases may be excluded from EWH generated backups. All database tables should be indexed appropriately. High database usage may also impact CPU and RAM resource usage limits.
- Users may not:
- Use 25% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc.
- Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD.
- Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers.
- Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network.
- Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers.
- Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities
- Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc.
- Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes.
- Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately.
Users are strongly recommended to:
- When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. Instead of include(“http://yourdomain.com/include.php”) use include(“include.php”)
- To help reduce usage, do not force html to handle server-side code (like php and shtml).
- Only use https protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.
- Permitted CPU and Disk Usage.
- Use of Service.
- Use of our services to infringe upon any copyright or trademark is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to unauthorized copying of music, books, photographs, or any other copyrighted work. The offer of sale of any counterfeit merchandise of a trademark holder will result in the immediate termination of your account. Any account found to be in violation of another’s copyright will be expeditiously removed, or access to the material disabled. Any account found to be in repeated violation of copyright laws will be suspended and/or terminated from our hosting. If you believe that your copyright or trademark is being infringed upon, please email abuse@easiestwebhosting.com with the information required. A list of required information may be found here. If the request is of a licensing issue, we may require further documentation.
- Websites hosted on EWH’s servers in the U.S. are regulated by U.S. law. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, EWH’s policy is not to remove allegedly defamatory material from websites hosted on our servers unless the material has been found to be defamatory by a court, as evidenced by a court order. As a webhost, EWH is not a publisher of User content and we are not in a position to investigate the veracity of individual defamation claims. We rely on the legal system and the courts to determine whether or not material is indeed defamatory. In any case in which a court order indicates that material is defamatory, libelous, or slanderous in nature, we will disable access to the material. Similarly, in any case in which a U.S. court has placed an injunction against specified content or material being made available, we will comply and remove or disable access to the material in question.
- Examples of unacceptable material include:
- Topsites
- IRC Scripts/Bots

- Any account found connecting to a third party network or system without authorization from the third party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control must be with expressed written consent from the third party. EWH may, at its discretion, request and require documentation to prove access to a third party network or system is authorized.
- We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates our terms of service in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice. If in doubt regarding the acceptability of your site or service, please contact us at abuse@easiestwebhosting.com and we will be happy to assist you.
- Failure to respond to an email from our abuse department within the specified time period in our email to you may result in the suspension or termination of the Services.
- Content that is potentially harmful to minors is strictly forbidden, including but not limited to child pornography, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or content perceived to be child pornography. Any site found to host child pornography or linking to child pornography will be suspended immediately without notice. Violations will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency or the U.S. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
- Uptime Guarantee.
- If your shared or reseller server has a physical downtime that falls short of the 99.9% uptime guarantee, you may receive one (1) month of credit on your account. This uptime guarantee does not apply to planned and scheduled maintenance, which will be posted ahead of time on our website. Approval of any credit is at the sole discretion of EWH and may be dependent upon the justification provided.
