Non-Criminal Abuses (pornography, copyright issues, hate speech, etc.)
If this is the first time we have ever reported a complaint of this nature to you then the displaying of your web site is suspended and we will contact you and ask that you correct the matter. Once you have corrected the issues we will then restart displaying your web site. If we are contacted again and you are still breaking our policies then we will terminate your account and notify you of the termination.

Criminal Abuses (child pornography, hacking, terrorism, etc.)
Your account will be terminated immediately and all files and correspondence will be sent to the appropriate authorities. You will not be allowed to retrieve any of your files or email on our systems, so do not ask. We will also comply with all search warrants and requests from law enforcement agencies in respect to your case (including logged visits and uploads.)

This also applies to pages containing server side includes. These pages will work from anywhere within your web site as long as they have one of the following extensions: .shtm, .shtml or .stm.

These two lines need to be the very first thing printed to each page.

To test the script, access your web site as http://www.yourdomain.com/test.asp. You should see "Hello World", if you do not please contact technical support.

If for security reasons you wish to disable ASP, please contact our support department requesting to disable ASP.
