Security and Ethical Use of Virtual and Dedicated Servers: Prohibited Practices
Adhere to Server Rules on AlexHost VPS for Secure and Compliant Hosting
Using a Virtual Private Server (VPS) from AlexHost offers flexibility, performance, and control — thanks to features like NVMe storage, root access, and DDoS protection. However, to ensure a safe and reliable hosting environment, it’s crucial to follow AlexHost’s server usage policies.
Adhering to these rules not only protects the stability of your VPS but also ensures legal compliance, network security, and service continuity. Violations can result in service suspension or termination, so understanding and following these restrictions is essential.
Online pharmacies with illegal drugs
The ban on the establishment of online pharmacies with illegal medicines is aimed at preventing the illegal trade in medicines, which can pose a threat to the health of consumers. This is consistent with international standards and laws governing the circulation of medicines.
Organization of public VPN services
Creating public VPN services without proper permissions may encourage illegal use of the network and violation of privacy regulations. This ban is aimed at maintaining the security of networks and preventing the misuse of servers to anonymize traffic.
Cryptocurrency mining:
Cryptocurrency mining can put significant strain on server resources and create performance issues. The ban on mining is aimed at ensuring stable operation of servers and preventing unnecessary load on equipment.
Scanning ports and vulnerabilities
Port and vulnerability scanning without proper permission can pose a security risk to servers and networks. This ban is intended to prevent unauthorized access attempts and protect against potential cyber attacks.
Proxying projects via servers/VPS
The ban on proxying projects through servers is aimed at preventing abuse and illegal use of servers to circumvent restrictions. This ensures that the resources provided are used fairly and ethically.
Violation of the laws of the country in which your server/VPS is located
Compliance with the laws and regulations of the country in which the server is hosted is a mandatory requirement. This includes compliance with content laws, trade regulations and other regulations.
Any other actions that may cause material or reputational damage to our company
This prohibition warns against actions that could negatively impact the company, including, but not limited to, the use of servers to conduct malicious attacks, distribute malware or other unfair practices.
Conclusion
Following AlexHost’s VPS rules is essential to maintaining a secure, stable, and compliant hosting environment.
By respecting these guidelines, you protect your data, ensure consistent server performance, and help preserve the platform’s reputation for reliability and integrity. AlexHost empowers users with advanced VPS capabilities — but with that power comes the responsibility to use it ethically and lawfully.
