Copyright Infringement
Unauthorised storage, distribution or replication of copyrighted content is forbidden. VPSFast is not responsible for copy-right infringements caused by what the Customer hosted on VPSFast's servers. Customers are to respond to any abuse, blacklist or DMCA reports within 48 hours or the service may be suspended.
Resource usage limits
A VPS or Virtual Private Server is a shared environment with users or other containers. This means that excessive CPU, network and I/O abuse will cause issues for other customers on the same node. We do not place hard limits on these resources, however common sense is expected. Any VPS abusing their resources may be shut down, rebooted or suspended without warning. DDoS attacks, flooding and port scanning are not allowed. Common sense is also expected, please do not do anything you would not feel comfortable using on your own internet connection.
Constant CPU usage should be kept below half the number of CPU cores in load. For example, if your VPS has 4 CPU cores, then your overall load should be kept below 2.00. This does not apply to short bursts.
Banned services
The following services are banned on our network: DoS attacks, escessive port scanning, Botnets, TOR relays and exits (Please ASK first, we will more than likely say yes!), Illegal downloads/Piracy, Nested Virtualization (example: QEMU within a VPS instance), Spamming, Virtual currency mining, virtual currency clients (please ASK first), AtHome Software, IP spoofing, CrystalMines, HYIP websites, Booter/Stresser websites, HitLeap or any traffice generation tools (Please ASK first). The program nixstats is also not allowed, due to it's high CPU and IO usage.
Guarantees
We do not claim or guarantee the availability of backups, or of our DDoS protection system. SLA credit or free service may be given in case of downtime or other disruptions, please ticket to request this.
Cancellation
VPSFast reserves the right to terminate service at any time. If an account is terminated for a policy violation there will be no refund. Customers can cancel service pursuant to the terms of their contract by email or through the client area with a minimum of 5 days prior to the renewal date of the service. Only authorized contacts/individuals can cancel an account. Unless client specifies a termination date, accounts will be terminated upon notice. All outstanding invoices must be paid in full prior to requesting cancellation.
When you cancel and you have enabled a Paypal automatic payment you need to cancel that automatic payment in Paypal, they do not allow us to do this. If you fail to do this we will not be responsible and will not refund any amounts that you then pay in error.
