Websites and legal stuff! Anyone know?

Plonking · 19-04-2004, 17:17

Hey all,

I'm gonna purchase some webspace via I-web in a minute or two, and want to check something before I go ahead with it. Now, this may seem like a total noob question, but I want to make absolutely sure - if I get a 'standard' package thru I-web, would I be legally allowed and all that to make money out of my site at some point in the future? I just want to make sure, because there is a different bit for 'business' sites: I'm not sure if I made some cash or whatever what my site would be termed as

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing.. I'm one of those silly people who always pays for things - even train tickets over short journeys! lol

Thanks,

P

I would recomend that you email Kingpeonix. He will be able to give you some help. He is a smashing chap and will allways go the extra mile as long as you ask nicely

erm... I still owe him a bottle

Hi Plonking, i will post this publically, as it may come up again some time...

You may use your "standard" account for business purposes. But as a result, I-Web Solutions accepts no loss of income or anything such as (due for ANY reason), as it was setup as a "personal" account.

The main difference between Business and Standard hosting, for i-web, is that on a Business account, we will manage the entire thing for you. We have a number of business clients, that send us small updates for their site which we upload, they also send us request to add/remove/modify e-mail addresses and autoresponders. We also do this via telephone for them.

Basically when it crunches, we manage Business accounts, you manage Standard/Personal accounts.

You are fully entitled to make money from your website, aslong as it does not break any laws, or our t&cs. And in the event of downtime, for whatever reason, we are not responsible for any loss of income.

Hope this helps

Can't say fairer than that! And an official answer within 30 mins.

Shame you don't work for NTL, KingPhoenix

For that kind of behaviour he would have been sacked 6 months ago

:pp

Plonking · 22-04-2004, 15:06

haha! very very true

Thanks for the info!

For the record as well to anyone else reading this : I have been buggin the KingPhoenixster with loads of PMs over the past few days, and his response rate is excellent! Actually, I'm beginning to think there must be lots of people just using that one account.. like a whole customer service team or something :P

KingPhoenix · 22-04-2004, 15:24

Damn weve been rumbled

No we havent, he just thinks theres more than 1 of us

Plonking has realised theres more than 1 of us using this account to answer i-web queries..... but its only a thought of his, dont tell anyone
