Hosted Sites

This section covers copyright, security & ownership of the sites we host. Read below on how copyright is given, security is controlled and whom actually owns websites.

1A: Copyright:

Copyright is at the account owner's discretion. Any breaches of copyright is nothing to do with Quack Hosting.

Quack! Hosting will release any necessary data to claimants with claims made via a legal and trusted system, such as DMCA complaint or request by a government or authority. 

Any abuse reports will be dealt with and accounts will be suspended with very short notice. Users are welcome to get in touch for their account to be reinstated.

1B: Site Security

Quack Hosting provides secure servers with AutoSSL & Let's Encrypt encryption for 1-1 connections. SSL is not forced by default and the site owner can provide an alternative secure environment by using a service like Cloudflare. Quack! Hosting is not responsible for any damage caused to you or any methods of payment on our service, unless via our billing page.

1C: Site Ownership

Sites are owned by the holder of the contract binding the service with Quack Hosting. This is whoever has purchased the hosting service via our billing system.

If you were to transfer ownership, we can transfer orders to another user account if needed. This holds the account owner responsible for any abuse. Resellers will be contacted to take out any abuse reports to their sub-users.

1D: Access Rights

Quack! Hosting ("TNCompany") holds the rights to check your files and access your accounts at any time. Quack! Hosting does not require permission to access your files at any given time. Though, content is only usually checked in the case of suspected abuse or alongside a valid abuse report. Websites are monitored for any pirated or illegal content on a weekly basis.

Please let us know if you find abuse on our networks via the listed email addresses below, or via our abuse report portal.

1E: Backups

We urge users to keep backups of their data locally and not on the server. Whereas we backup user data weekly to the disk on certain servers, we urge users to store their own backups just in case of disk failure. Some backups stored on our backup servers may not be completely up-to-date and we urge users to keep backups of large changes they make.
