In their AUP, they have headings followed by full explanations. Under their "obscene materials" section, they specifically only talk about child pornography, which seems fair enough.
I get the impression they've reused this AUP from a shared hosting environment though, as banning CGI scripts, "chat rooms", and background services are not things practical to police on VPSes anyway but are commonly policed on shared hosting. Statements like "Any database stored on Atlantic.Net servers shall be limited in size to 50% of the total disk space allotted for a particular domain" seem to back up this hunch, since it's talking about space for a "domain" and not a VPS or server.
I think they need to improve their AUP as I'm not convinced that it's what they intend for VPS services, too much of it doesn't make sense for that sort of environment.
- aroch 12y agoIf they borrowed liberally (ie copy and pasted) an existing AUP from some one else (typos and errors included) that doesn't even apply to their services, they don't deserve the ¢99. That subsection is a morality clause, regardless of their explanatory blurb.
- mp99e99 12y agoYour right. I am going to work on this tomorrow, it was adapted from a prior business model. Thanks for pointing this out!
- joshmn 12y ago> Your right. His right what? I'm only making this jab because, like another user pointed out, there's an unprofessional amount of grammatical and typographical errors in your copy. I respect you guys, and one of my friends has a bunch of cages with Atlantic. But not everyone has that connection or the wherewithal.

- Dylan16807 12y agoWhat.
- joshmn 12y agoWhoops.
- wosos 12y agoIs there any chance to be able to pay with paypal?
- imdsm 12y agoHighly doubt it. The amount of hoops you'd have to jump through to get services with this guys is not worth it. The time I wasted trying to sign up for 10 of these cost me more than the cost of the servers. Terrible experience.
- mp99e99 12y agoWe don't current accept paypal. But we're working on it.
