During the Redemption period the Domain will be inaccessible and unable to be registered elsewhere. In order to bring a Domain out of Redemption, Subscriber must pay a Redemption Fee, as well as a Renewal Fee for the current year. Domain registration vouchers cannot be applied toward the cost of Redemption. If the Domain is not redeemed within 74 days of expiration, it will be set to Pending Delete status by the domain registry.

If the disputing persons fail so to resolve the dispute within what AppliedHost, in its sole judgment, deems to be a reasonable time, then AppliedHost, at its option and without any obligation to do so, may, in accordance with and subject to the laws of the State of Utah, file an interpleader action in a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of Utah for the purpose of allowing the contending persons to resolve said dispute and to reach certainty regarding ownership of or rights in said site and/or account. The person or persons conclusively and finally determined by the interpleader action to be the rightful owner(s) or interest holder(s) of said site and/or associated account shall be obligated to reimburse AppliedHost for all of its expenses relative to said interpleader action including without limit all its court costs and reasonable attorney fees. All amounts owed to AppliedHost under this section 5.03 shall be deemed due and payable immediately upon thirty (30) days after judgment or settlement is reached.
  • "UNLIMITED" USAGE POLICIES AND DEFINITIONS
    1. What "Unlimited" means. AppliedHost does not set an arbitrary limit or cap on the amount of resources a single Subscriber can use. In good faith and subject to these Terms, AppliedHost makes every commercially reasonable effort to provide its Subscribers with all the storage and bandwidth resources needed to power their web sites successfully, as long as the Subscriber's use of the service complies with these Terms. By not setting limits on key resources, we are able to provide simple, consistent pricing to our Subscribers as they grow their websites. As a result, a typical website may experience periods of great popularity and resulting increased storage without experiencing any associated increase in hosting charges.
    2. What "Unlimited" DOES NOT mean. AppliedHost employs complex mechanisms to protect its Subscribers and systems from abuse. AppliedHost's offering of "unlimited" services is not intended to allow the actions of a single or few Subscribers to unfairly or adversely impact the experience of other Subscribers.
      AppliedHost's service is a shared hosting service, which means that multiple Subscriber web sites are hosted from the same server and share server resources. AppliedHost's service is designed to meet the typical needs of small business and home business website Subscribers in the United States. It is NOT intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises, internationally based businesses, or non-typical applications better suited to a dedicated server.
      AppliedHost will make every commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to Subscribers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Terms, including moving Subscribers to newer and bigger shared servers as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all Subscribers, AppliedHost does place automated safeguards to protect against any one site growing too quickly and adversely impacting the system until AppliedHost can evaluate said sites resource needs.
    3. Unlimited Hosting Space; excessive MySQL files.AppliedHost does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of disk space a Subscriber can use for the Subscriber's website, nor does AppliedHost charge additional fees based on an increased amount of storage used, provided the Subscriber's use of storage complies with these Terms. Please note, however, that the AppliedHost service is designed to host websites. AppliedHost does NOT provide unlimited space for online storage, backups, or archiving of electronic files, documents, log files, etc., and any such prohibited use of the Services will result in the termination of Subscriber's account, with or without notice. Accounts with a large number of files (inode count in excess of 200,000) can have an adverse affect on server performance. Similarly, accounts with an excessive number of MySQL/PostgreSQL tables (i.e., in excess of 1000 database tables) or of database size (i.e., in excess of 3GB total MySQL/PostgreSQL usage or 2GB MySQL/PostgreSQL usage in a single database) negatively affect the performance of the server. AppliedHost may request that the number of files/inodes, database tables, or total database usage be reduced to ensure proper performance or may terminate the Subscriber's account, with or without notice.
    4. Unlimited File Transfer. AppliedHost does not set arbitrary limits on the amount of visitor traffic a web site can receive or on the amount of content a Subscriber can upload to his/her/its website in a given month, nor does AppliedHost charge additional fees based on increased use of bandwidth, as long as the Subscriber's use of the Services complies with these Terms. In most cases, a Subscriber's web site will be able to support as much traffic as the Subscriber can legitimately acquire. However, AppliedHost reserves the right to limit processor time, bandwidth, processes, or memory in cases where it is necessary to prevent negatively impacting other Subscribers.
    5. Unlimited Domain Hosting. AppliedHost does not set arbitrary limits on the number of domain names a Subscriber can associate with the Subscriber's web hosting account.
  • COOKIE POLICY STATEMENT
    1. General Purposes. AppliedHost understands that many of its Subscribers are concerned about "cookies", which are electronic collections of information stored on the local computer of a person using the worldwide web and which are used chiefly by websites to keep track of visitors and registered users and to relate one computer transaction to a later one. AppliedHost provides this Cookie Policy Statement to let you, the Subscriber, know how AppliedHost uses this technology. AppliedHost uses cookies to help AppliedHost improve its website and web hosting services, and, most importantly, to provide AppliedHost's existing Subscribers with the opportunity for continued savings and increased convenience.
    2. Cookies for Improving Our Web Site. AppliedHost uses cookies to inform AppliedHost of a repeat visit. The cookie does not tell AppliedHost who a visitor is, the visitor's name, email address, or Passwords.
    3. Cookies for Banner Rewards Program. To offer AppliedHost Subscribers continued savings, AppliedHost uses cookies to help monitor the traffic generated from AppliedHost banners and logo buttons displayed on AppliedHost Subscribers' websites.

As part of our AppliedHost web hosting package, AppliedHost offers password-protected, web-based management tools.
