Dhaka Host IT provides web hosting to clients worldwide, and we have a responsibility to protect each client and to provide the best services available. All clients of Dhaka Host IT are subject to the following terms of service:
The use of services from dhakawebhost.com constitutes agreement to these terms.
Account Setup / Email on file We will set up your account after we have received payment and we and/or our payment partner(s) have screened the order(s) in case of fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with an email address which is different from the domain(s) you are signing up under. If there is ever an abuse issue or we need to contact you, the primary email address on file will be used for this purpose. It is your responsibility to ensure the email address on file is always current or up-to-date. If you have a domain name registered with Dhaka Host IT, you must ensure that the contact information for your domain account and your actual domain name(s) is correct and up-to-date. Dhaka Host IT is not responsible for a lapsed registration due to outdated contact information being associated with the domain. If you need to verify or change this information, you should contact our sales team via email. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account. In dedicated server purchases or high-risk transactions, it will be necessary to provide government-issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. If you fail to meet these requirements, the order may be considered fraudulent and denied. Transfers: Our transfers team will try to help you move your site to us. However, transfers are provided as a courtesy service, and we cannot guarantee the availability, possibility, or time required to complete an account transfer. Each hosting company is configured differently, and some hosting platforms save data in an incompatible or proprietary format, which may make it extremely difficult, if possible, to migrate some or all account data. We will try our best, but in some cases, we may need help to assist you in transferring data from an old host. The free transfer services are available for 30 days from your sign-up date. Transfers outside of the 30 day free period will incur a charge; please get in touch with a member of the transfers department with specific details to receive a price quote.
Domain Policy
We always appreciate your interest in our hosting services and domain registration, and we also take pride in our careful selection of domain names, focusing on uniqueness and relevance. However, we do not provide premium or 1-word/2-word domains for registration. Requests for such domains will not be entertained under this policy. Also, without completing email verification, you cannot be assured about your domain registration, as Dhaka Host IT always reserves the right to suspend or cancel your domain registration. So email verification is a must.

Dhaka Host IT systems may be monitored for all lawful purposes, including ensuring that use is authorized, for management of the system, to facilitate protection against unauthorized access, and to verify security procedures, survivability, and operational security. During monitoring, information may be examined, recorded, copied and used for authorized purposes. Use of Dhaka Host IT system(s) constitutes consent to monitoring for these purposes. Any account found connecting to a third-party network or system without authorization from the third party is subject to suspension. Access to networks or systems outside of your direct control must be with expressed written consent from the third party. Dhaka Host IT may, at its discretion, request and require documentation to prove access to a third-party network or system is authorized. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Any material that, in our judgment, is obscene, threatening, illegal, or violates our terms of service in any manner may be removed from our servers (or otherwise disabled), with or without notice.

All abuse issues must be dealt with via trouble ticket/email and we will have a response within 48 hours. Sites hosted on Dhaka Host IT.com service(s) are regulated only by Bangladeshi law. Given this fact, and pursuant to Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act, we do not remove allegedly defamatory material from domains hosted on our service(s). The only exception to this rule is if the material has been found to be defamatory by a court, as evidenced by a court order. Dhaka Host IT.com is not in a position to investigate and validate or invalidate the veracity of individual defamation claims, which is why we rely on the legal system and courts to determine whether or not material is indeed considered defamatory. In any case, in which a court order indicates material is defamatory, libellous, or slanderous in nature, we will disable access to the material. Similarly, in any case, in which a Bangladesh Court has placed an injunction against specified content or material, we will comply and remove or disable access to the material in question. The language of Section 230(c) of the Communications Decency Act fundamentally states that Internet services providers like dhakawebhost.com and many of Dhaka Host IT.com other web hosting services and brands are republishers and not the publisher of content. Our service merely provides a hosting platform and space on which to host content. Any creation or publication of content on our services is the sole responsibility of the third-party user who creates or publishes the content. Therefore, dhakawebhost.com should not be held liable for any allegedly defamatory, offensive or harassing content published on sites hosted under dhakawebhost.com web hosting service(s). If in doubt regarding the acceptability of your site or service, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at abuse@dhakawebhost.com, and we will be happy to assist you. Potential harm to minors is strictly forbidden, including but not limited to child pornography or content perceived to be child pornography (Lolita): Any site found to host child pornography or link to child pornography will be suspended immediately without notice. Resellers: We will suspend the site in question and will notify you so you may terminate the account. We will further monitor your activity; more than one infraction of this type may result in the immediate termination of your account. Direct customers: Your services will be terminated with or without notice. Violations will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency. It is your responsibility to ensure that scripts/programs installed under your account are secure, and permissions of directories are set properly, regardless of installation method. When at all possible, set permissions on most directories to 755 or as restrictive as possible. Users are ultimately responsible for all actions taken under their account. This includes the compromise of credentials such as username and password. It is required that you use a secure password. If a weak password is used, your account may be suspended until you agree to use a more secure password. Audits may be done to prevent weak passwords from being used. If an audit is performed, and your password is found to be weak, we will notify you and allow time for you to change/update your password.
Zero Tolerance Spam Policy We take a zero-tolerance stance against sending of unsolicited e-mails, bulk emailing, and spam. Safe lists and purchased lists will be treated as spam. Any user who sends out spam will have their account terminated with or without notice. Sites advertised via SPAM (Spamvertised) may not be hosted on our servers. This provision includes but is not limited to, SPAM sent via fax, phone, email, instant messaging, or usenet/newsgroups. No organization or entity listed in the ROKSO may be hosted on our servers. Any account which results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended and/or terminated. Dhaka Host IT reserves the right to require changes or disable as necessary any website, account, database, or other component that does not comply with its established policies or to make any such modifications in an emergency at its sole discretion. Dhaka Host IT reserves the right to charge the holder of the account used to send any unsolicited e-mail a clean-up fee or any charges incurred for blacklist removal. This cost of the clean-up fee is entirely at the discretion of Dhaka Host IT.
Payment Information You agree to supply appropriate payment for the services received from Dhaka Host IT in advance of the time period during which such services are provided. You agree that until and unless you notify Dhaka Host IT of your desire to cancel any or all services received, those services will be billed on a recurring basis. This includes when accounts are suspended. When an account’s invoices are paid outside of the 5 days grace period, invoices will not be automatically generated. However, after the customer notifies the Dhaka Host IT of his or her intent to resume service, invoices will be manually generated, and payment will be expected for the time the account was suspended. Cancellations must be made in writing via the cancellation form provided. Once we receive your cancellation and have confirmed all necessary information with you via e-mail, we will inform you in writing (typically by email) that your account has been cancelled. Your cancellation confirmation will contain a ticket/tracking number in the subject for your reference and verification purposes. You should immediately receive an automatic “Your request has been received” email with a tracking number. An employee will confirm your request (and process your cancellation) shortly thereafter. If you do not hear back from us, or do not receive the automatic confirmation email within a few minutes after submitting your cancellation, please contact us immediately via phone. We require that cancellations of service are made through the online form to (a) confirm your identity, (b) confirm in writing you are prepared for all files/emails to be removed, and (c) document the request. This process reduces the likelihood of mistakes and fraudulent/malicious requests. It ensures you know that the files, emails, and accounts may be removed immediately after a cancellation request is processed. As a client of Dhaka Host IT, it is your responsibility to ensure that your payment information is up to date and that all invoices are paid on time. You agree that until and unless you notify Dhaka Host IT of your desire to cancel any or all services received (by the proper means listed in the appropriate section of the Terms of Service), those services will be billed on a recurring basis unless otherwise stated in writing by Dhaka Host IT. Dhaka Host IT reserves the right to bill your credit card or billing information on file with us. Dhaka Host IT provides a 5 days grace period from when the invoice is generated and when it must be paid. Any invoice that is outstanding for 5 days and not paid will result in a 100tk late fee and/or an account suspension until the account balance has been paid in full. The 100tk late fee is applied in addition to whatever else is owed to Dhaka Host IT for services rendered. Access to the account will be restored once payment has been received. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify our sales team via email at sales@dhakawebhost.com after paying for a domain renewal and to ensure the email is received and acted upon. Domain renewal notices and invoices are provided as a courtesy reminder and Dhaka Host IT cannot be held responsible for failure to renew a domain or failure to notify a customer about a domain’s renewal. Subsequently, domain renewals are billed and renewed 30 days before the renew date. It is the customer’s responsibility to notify our sales team via email at sales@dhakawebhost.com for any domain registration cancellation. No refunds can be given once a domain is renewed. All domain registrations and renewals are final. Invoices that have been paid more than once with multiple Paypal Subscriptions can only be added as credit towards the account and cannot be refunded via Paypal. If you require assistance with this provision, please get in touch with sales@dhakawebhost.com Dhaka Host IT reserves the right to change the monthly payment amount and any other charges anytime.
Backups and Data Loss Your use of this service is at your sole risk. Our backup service is run on Sunday of each week, overwrites any of our previous backups made, and only one week of backups are kept. This service is provided to you as a courtesy. Dhaka Host IT is not responsible for files and/or data residing on your account. You agree to take full responsibility for files and data transferred and to maintain all appropriate backups of files and data stored on Dhaka Host IT servers.
Customer's Account Privacy We understand the importance of providing exceptional technical support to our clients. To ensure the efficient resolution of technical issues, we may need to access our clients’ accounts. Our team will only access the client’s account as needed to resolve the issue promptly such as email problems, website content issues, file permission issues, most importantly spamming issues and so on if necessary. We will take all necessary measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the client’s data and account information. We are committed to providing the best technical support to our clients while upholding their privacy and security.
Resource Usage For unlimited shared hosting accounts, User may not: 1) Use 15% or more of system resources for longer then 90 seconds. There are numerous activities that could cause such problems; these include: CGI scripts, FTP, PHP, HTTP, etc. 2) Run stand-alone, unattended server-side processes at any point in time on the server. This includes any and all daemons, such as IRCD. 3) Run any type of web spider or indexer (including Google Cash / AdSpy) on shared servers. 4) Run any software that interfaces with an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) network. 5) Run any bit torrent application, tracker, or client. You may link to legal torrents off-site, but may not host or store them on our shared servers. 6) Participate in any file-sharing/peer-to-peer activities. 7) Run any gaming servers such as counter-strike, half-life, battlefield1942, etc. 8)Run cron entries with intervals of less than 15 minutes. 9) Run any MySQL queries longer than 15 seconds. MySQL tables should be indexed appropriately. 10) When using PHP include functions for including a local file, include the local file rather than the URL. 11) To help reduce usage, do not force html to handle server-side code (like php and shtml). 12) Only use https protocol when necessary; encrypting and decrypting communications is noticeably more CPU-intensive than unencrypted communications.
Inodes The use of more than 250,000 inodes on any shared account may potentially result in a warning first, and if no action is taken future suspension. Accounts found to be exceeding the 100,000 inode limit will automatically be removed from our backup system to avoid over-usage, however databases will still be backed up. Every file (a webpage, image file, email, etc) on your account uses up 1 inode. Sites that slightly exceed our inode limits are unlikely to be suspended; however, accounts that constantly create and delete large numbers of files on a regular basis, have hundreds of thousands of files, or cause file system damage may be flagged for review and/or suspension. The primary cause of excessive inodes seems to be due to users leaving their catchall address enabled, but never checking their primary account mailbox. Over time, tens of thousands of messages (or more) build up, eventually pushing the account past our inode limit.
Backup Policiy Dhaka Host IT takes 1 daily, 1 weekly and 1 monthly backup for any website in our backup drive. Our backup service is totally free, and we restore the suspended website from the backup without any service charge. If your account is terminated, you need to pay 200tk charge for that. All backup service is provided as a courtesy service. It may occur that your website is not backed up among thousands of websites due to some technical problems. It will be the best solution for you if you regularly backup your website on your local pc along with our free backup service, or you can also use a professional paid backup service and monitor your backup regularly. VPS and dedicated server is suspended instantly after the due date. All data is terminated within 24 hours. We will not be responsible for your data loss. Please make payment before the due date. We strongly recommend our clients use separate backup storage for VPS and dedicated servers so that they can recover the data in any emergency situation.
Bandwidth Usage You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance. This allowance varies depending on the hosting package you purchase. Should your account pass the allocated amount, we reserve the right to suspend the account until the start of the next allocation, suspend the account until more bandwidth is purchased at an additional fee, suspend the account until you upgrade to a higher level of package, terminate the account and/or charge you an additional fee for the overages. Unused transfers in one month cannot be carried over to the next month.
Uptime Guarantee If your shared / reseller hosting has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive one month of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of Dhaka Host IT, dependent upon the justification provided. Third-party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to various factors, including the monitor’s network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server, which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please get in touch with sales@dhakawebhost.com with a justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared / reseller solutions. Dedicated servers are covered by a network guarantee in which the credit is prorated for the amount of time the server is down, which is not related to our uptime guarantee.
Price Change The amount you pay for hosting will never increase from the date of purchase. We reserve the right to change prices listed on dhakawebhost.com and the right to increase the number of resources given to plans at any time.
Coupons Discounts and coupon codes are reserved for first-time accounts or first-time customers only and may not be used towards the purchase of a domain registration unless otherwise specified.
