7. SHARED HOSTING
1. The web hosting service of 1984 ehf. is a shared hosting service. This means that Subscribers share hardware and/or virtual hardware resources. 1984 ehf.’s web hosting service is intended to meet the web hosting requirements of individuals and smaller organisations and businesses, but not the requirements of media or larger companies that require access to a large-scale and stable system capacity for their web or mailing activities. 1984 ehf. reserves the right to transfer the Subscriber's services between machines and/or virtual machines in order to ensure balance in the use of hardware or for any other purpose that 1984 ehf. deems necessary or effectual.

2. 1984 ehf. reserves all rights to switch off or prevent the use of services to the Subscriber temporarily or permanently if 1984 ehf. is of the opinion that: (1) the Subscriber's use of the service causes or may cause disturbance to the operation of services to other users in a shared hosting environment; (2) a web of, or services to, the Subscriber have been “hacked” or are for some reason under the control of a party other than the Subscriber; (3) laws or ethical standards that 1984 ehf. finds it reasonable to require Subscribers to respect are being violated.
3. In shared hosting a number of customers share the system resources of a server. System resources include storage space, CPU, RAM and network bandwidth. It follows that "Unlimited" in this context does not mean that a user can take endless system resources, but rather that there is not an arbitrary limit to the use of resources for each user while the average system resource usage is at or under the limits of the shared server. This means, for example, that some users can use more storage while others use more net bandwidth or CPU. In the usage planning for a shared server, some fluctuation in usage is expected, which means that temporarily increased system resource usage is just fine. Users that need consistent access to more system resources than fall within the normal usage in a shared environment will be restricted and pointed towards other, more appropriate solutions for their hosting needs.

4. System resources (bandwidth, storage space, CPU access etc.) allocated to Subscriber with a shared hosting service shall only be used for data directly pertaining to the web sites or email accounts of the shared hosting account. This means, for example, that storage space shall not be used for backup or storage of data that is not a part of the web sites, email accounts or data bases of the shared hosting account.

5. If 1984 ehf. decides to terminate the service permanently, the provisions of Article 3.02 on hosting fee refunds shall apply.

8. PROHIBITED USE OF HOSTING SERVICES
1. Unsolicited commercial e-mailing is prohibited on 1984 ehf.’s servers and will result in immediate termination of all services to the Subscriber.

2. Offering, selling or showing, or providing links to other websites offering, selling or showing the following is prohibited: (a) habit-forming or narcotic substances or related services; (b) weapons; (c) copyrighted materials that the Subscriber is not entitled to offer or sell; (d) information used to violate the copyrights or trademarks of others; (e) information used to manufacture, make or provide illegal goods or weapons; (f) pornography or sexual products; (g) file sharing; (h) pharmaceuticals; (i) any materials or information that are, in the opinion of 1984 ehf., illegal, harmful or ethically objectionable.

3. Cryptomining is not permitted on any 1984 servies.

4. 1984 ehf. reserves the full and unconditional right to decide whether to terminate services to the Subscriber, with or without notice, if 1984 ehf. considers the materials stored by the Subscriber to be illegal, unethical or harmful. The same applies if a customer directs any threats of any kind of retaliation to 1984 ehf. or 1984 ehf employees. 1984 ehf. has sole discretion in such matters. The Subscriber waives all liability claims against 1984 ehf. regarding possible loss to the Subscriber resulting from a decision made on these grounds.

5. It is prohibited for Subscriber to resell or allow a third party usage the Shared Hosting services of 1984 in whole or in part, with or without financial compensation to the Subscriber from the third party, unless Subscriber has entered into a Reseller Agreement with 1984.
