The following applies only to our reseller web hosting plans

No Free Trial accounts allowed

We expressly forbid our resellers from setting up Free Trial accounts. We also forbid the use of our resources to supply free hosting or free email services. These Free Trials and free accounts [subdomain or otherwise] open up the servers to severe abuse from hackers and spammers. If we find a reseller who is offering Free Trial accounts, or free hosting, we will suspend that reseller account. We take this very seriously and there are no exceptions to this rule.

Overselling Policy

INEO Solutions allows our clients to oversell their WHM resources. However, if we feel that a client's reseller account is too oversold, then we have the right to upgrade that account, through consultation with the client. This policy is to prevent the abuse of resources through INEO Solutions clients overselling their resources and causing harm to others on the same server.

No Unlimited disk space or Unlimited data transfer allowed

INEO Solutions has the right to refuse service, or discontinue services to those clients who use their INEO Solutions reseller account and promote "Unlimited disk space and Unlimited data transfer" hosting accounts. We take this rule extremely seriously and have no hesitation to refuse or discontinue services to any clients who is in breach of this policy. There is no such thing as unlimited resources and we have zero tolerance for such deceit.
