Upon your request, our transfer team will make every effort to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we can not make guarantees regarding the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult if not impossible to migrate some or all account data. Whilst we will endeavour to assist with the transfer, in some cases, we may be unable to assist you in a transfer of data from an old host.
The free transfer services are available for 30 days from your signup date. Transfers outside of the 30-day free period will incur a charge; please contact us on cs@SignOnHost.com with specific details to receive a price quote.

When you have established your relationship with our registered client, we will notify the registered client of your request. Upon receiving the written consent of the registered client to transfer the account to you and upon receiving a signed indemnity letter from you, we will transfer the website to you or your preferred registrar.
Where you claim that your website was developed by any of our registered clients, we will require the registered client’s written consent to transfer the website either to you or another registrar.
Where you claim that the registered client is dead, we will require you to provide us with the registered client’s death certificate.

Resource Usage
User may not:
Use 25% or more of system resources for longer than 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.
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.
>>INODES
The use of more than two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) inodes on any shared or reseller account may result in a warning, and if no action is taken to reduce the excessive use of inodes, your account may be suspended. If an account exceeds one hundred thousand (100,000) inodes it will be automatically removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage, however, databases will still be backed up as a courtesy in our sole discretion. Every file (i.e. a webpage, image file, email, etc.) on your account uses up one (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”
>>Bandwidth Usage
You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfer in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.
Reseller: Client Responsibility
Resellers are responsible for supporting their clients. SignOnHost does not provide support to our Reseller’s Clients. If a reseller’s client contacts us, we reserve the right to place the client account on hold until the reseller can assume their responsibility for their client. All support requests must be made by the reseller on their clients’ behalf for security purposes. Resellers are also responsible for all content stored or transmitted under their reseller account and the actions of their clients’. SignOnHost will hold any reseller responsible for any of their clients’ actions that violate the law or the terms of service.
Shared (non-reseller accounts) / Semi-Dedicated Servers
Shared accounts may not resell web hosting to other people if you wish to resell hosting you must use a reseller account.
Price Change

Money withdrawn would be paid to an account with the name of the affiliate.
Two or more affiliate accounts cannot be combined.
You cannot refer yourself.
If your referral cancels or is refunded for his/her product or service, you will have to refund any commission paid by SignOnHost, within 30 days. Otherwise, it will be deducted from the related commission in your account or the next payment.
Ensure that your Affiliate Link is set up properly to qualify for commissions, as this allows SignOnHost to identify or track visitors originating from you.
If you refer someone who has made a payment for a service but did not use your unique affiliate link, simply ask the referral to send us a mail stating your email address and that you referred them.
>>Bulk Email
Customers sending bulk email must provide recipients with an easy and effective mechanism for removal from the bulk email list. The customer must include the source of the addressee’s address in each bulk email message.
CPU Usage
Sites may not use extreme unwarranted CPU usage. This includes usage of “heavy” scripts or Flash/shockwave files. By heavy we mean oversized without cause, to the point where most users would be unable to view them in a reasonable amount of time. No single site may consume 30% of CPU usage for a sustained period of time.
File repository / Dump Sites
Customers may not use disk space as a file repository or dumpsite. This includes but is not limited to; warez, serials, sound files, applications, zip files. This includes using the space in order to store content used on other sites (remote linking). Examples of this would be using the webspace to store images for auction descriptions, flash, or any other files used on another site but stored on our server.
Violation of Rules
Breaking any of these aforementioned rules may result in immediate account suspension with or without notice and also without refund, as well as criminal prosecution where deemed necessary.
