This includes sites that may infer sexual content, or links to adult content elsewhere. This is also true for sites that promote any illegal activity or content that may be damaging to our servers or any other server on the Internet. Links to such materials are also prohibited.

Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples include, but are not limited to the following: Unauthorized access, use, probe, or scan of a systems security or authentication measures, data or traffic. Interference with service to any user, host or network including, without limitation, mail bombing, flooding, deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks. Forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an email or a newsgroup posting.

Server Resource

Any website that uses a high amount of server resources (such as, but not limited to, CPU time, memory usage, and network resources) will be given an option of either paying extra (which depends on the resource needed) or reducing the resource used to an acceptable level. 2BlueDesign shall be the sole arbiter of what is considered to be a high server usage level.

CGI/PHP/ASP Scripts

Cgi script sharing with domains not hosted by 2BlueDesign.com is not allowed. Any cgi-scripts deemed to be adversely affecting the server performance or the network integrity will be shut down without prior notice. See our Script usage policy for more details.

Chat Rooms

2BlueDesign does not allow clients to install their own chat rooms. Chat rooms tend to be large system hogs and we cannot permit it as an account option. 2BlueDesign does provide a choice of Java chatrooms which should meet most users' needs and run without hindering the performance of the machine of our servers.
