Hacked Server Policy

When a server gets hacked, any recent backups that have been made will very likely contain the hack. It is generally not known when a hack was made to the server, and therefore any nightly or weekly backups will likely contain the hack. For this reason Crazy Hosting 4 U does not generally permit subscribers to restore data from backups once a server has been known to be hacked. It is neither in the best interest of the client, nor Crazy Hosting 4 U and the network to use the suspect data. If the data from the backup is needed, the standard procedure is for the subscriber to purchase the old hard drive and have it shipped to the subscriber. If for some reason any of the backed up data is allowed to be used, and the server is hacked again (within a week of the data being used), the subscriber will be billed hourly for all work to redo the server again. If the subscribers server has initiated a ddos attack on the Crazy Hosting 4 U network, and the subscriber uses any of the backed up data after the server has been restored, and the subscribers server initiates another ddos attack within a weeks time, the subscriber agrees to pay an immediate $500 fine in addition to all hourly fees associated with restoring the network and all of the credits that Crazy Hosting 4 U might have to pay its subscribers in order to meet its SLA. This is generally not a risk that a subscriber will want to take.

Service Rates

Crazy Hosting 4 U reserves the right to change pricing and specifications of its service at any time due to market fluctuations, cost to provide service, changes in cost of hardware etc... When changes are made to pricing or specifications of the service Crazy Hosting 4 U is providing that result in lower pricing or in better specifications, Crazy Hosting 4 U will make every effort to pass those changes on to the subscriber, however, in some circumstances additional fees will apply. When changes are made to pricing or specifications of the service Crazy Hosting 4 U is providing that result in higher pricing or in lower specifications, Crazy Hosting 4 U will make every effort NOT to pass those changes on to the subscriber. Crazy Hosting 4 U is not obligated to change the rates and specifications of subscribers existing service for any reason at any time, and it will be at the sole discretion of Crazy Hosting 4 U and based on financial evaluations of what is required to keep Crazy Hosting 4 U a profitable operating company, able to provide the highest quality services to the subscribers.
