Terms of Service for Baptist WebSite

    1.You agree to use the service for your Church or Christian Ministry. You may also use the service if you are a Christian with a business and wish to support this ministry with your business.  No need to host with the world. Your funds are tithed and support missions.
    2. You agree that Sub Domains and Addon Domains are directly part of your church ministry and not an effort to by pass registration or hosting for another ministry which of right should have it's own hosting account.
    3. You agree that all uploads are from your church ministry and not archives of sermons or music of other sources. All music or sermons must originate from your ministry. This would include any regular or special services. If it was held in your church and legally recorded then you may include them on your site. No copyrighted material may be uploaded unless YOU hold the rights to the copyright itself. If you make copies of copyrighted music recordings without the copyright holder’s permission, you are stealing music and that’s against the law.  
    4. UNLIMITED USE POLICY High bandwidth and disk usage: Baptist WebSite offers an unlimited use policy. This is defined as no predetermined limits. In rare cases, Baptist WebSite may find a customer to be using server resources to such an extent that they may jeopardize server performance and resources for other customers. In such instances, Baptist WebSite reserves the right to impose restriction or denial of services for the consideration of all customers. This applies to bandwidth and disk storage. Baptist WebSite may implement the following policy to at its sole discretion: When a website is found to be monopolizing the resources available, Baptist WebSite reserves the right to suspend that site immediately.
    This policy is only implemented in extreme circumstances and is intended to prevent the misuse of our servers. All disk space is allocated dynamically. That is it is increased as needed. Please note that when you reach about 80% of your current limit you will receive a notice to contact me. Just E-mail me a note telling me you received that message and I will then give you more access. This is just a way for me to control the flow of sites and avoid a hacker from "stealing" the entire disk at once. Baptist WebSite offers UN-Limited disk space for the work of the ministry. In order to make this possible and to make the best use of what the Lord has provided, the following should be observed:
    A. Web sites should not be used to store files not active on the site. If a file is no longer needed or used it should be removed. Please do not store files that are outdated, test files or files that are duplicates. Email should be downloaded and removed from the server and not kept for storage on the server. Also be sure empty the Trash Bin in Cpanel. Keeping old and unused files on the server accounts for MUCH waisted space .
    B. All audio files should be in .mp3 format and compressed. I suggest you consider an excellent .mp3 compressor called MP3Teak. It is one of the best .mp3 compressors. If you need audio streamed from your web site that even dial-up users can hear, you need MP3 Tweak. If you don't have we will send it to you. If you have files in the .wma format they need to be converted to .mp3 You can use a free program to convert just about any file to .mp3 called Format Factory (Free) Then use MP3Tweak to compress it.

     C. For the most part only images with the .JPG, PNG and .GIF should be used. .PSP and .BMP images should not be used as these are very large and unnecessary. Large files also make your web page load slower as well as waste space. It has been noted that some sites will have the same image stored as .PNG .BMP as well as .JPG. Please be sure only one (the active .JPG) is left on the site. multiple images even in different folders are discouraged.

    5. FLAT RATE PRICE GUARANTEE Baptist WebSite guarantees for as long as you are a continuous client, in good financial standing, and you keep renewing your account for web hosting service, we guarantee and promise that you will be locked into paying your current web hosting prices forever.
    6. DOMAIN NAMES When a user signs up for a Domain Name through Baptist WebSite, it is registered in YOUR name and under YOUR ownership.

This means you have full rights to the your Domain Name. This means that you will see your details as the current domain name owner and not our information.
