Our system has noticed what seems to be a large amount of "backup/non-web"
content on your account (#337199), mostly on user "gizli"
on the web server "aries".
Unfortunately, our terms of service (Web Hosting by DreamHost Web Hosting: Web Sites, Domain Registration, WordPress, Ruby on Rails, all on Debian Linux!) state:
The customer agrees to make use of DreamHost Web Hosting servers
primarily for the purpose of hosting a website, and associated email
functions. Data uploaded must be primarily for this purpose; DreamHost
Web Hosting servers are not intended as a data backup or archiving
service. DreamHost Web Hosting reserves the right to negotiate
additional charges with the Customer and/or the discontinuation
of the backups/archives at their discretion.
At this point, we must ask you to do one of three things:
* You can delete all backup/non-web files on your account.
* You can close your account from our panel at:
https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=billing.accounts
(We are willing to refund to you any pre-paid amount you have
remaining, even if you're past the 97 days. Just reply to this
email after closing your account from the panel.
OR!
* You may now enable your account for backup/non-web use!
If you'd like to enable your account to be used for non-web files, please
visit the link below. You will be given the option to be charged $0.20 a
month per GB of usage (the monthly average, with daily readings) across
your whole account.
We don't think there exists another online storage service that has
anything near the same features, flexibility, and redundancy for less
than this, so we sincerely hope you take us up on this offer!
In the future, we plan to allow the creation of a single "storage" user
on your account which will have no web sites (or email). For now though,
if you choose to enable your account for backups, nothing will change
(apart from the charges).
If you want to enable backup/non-web use on this account, please go here:
https://panel.dreamhost.com/backups....15357313215748
If you choose not to enable this, you must delete all your non-web files
by 2008-05-23 or your account will be suspended.
If you have any questions about this or anything at all, please don't
hesitate to contact us by replying to this email.
Thank you very much for your understanding,
The Happy DreamHost Backup/Non-Web Use Team
Note: While personal backups will be allowed, the use of our services
for the distribution, acquisition, or storage of illegal or illegally
obtained copyrighted material still won't be. Please make sure that
all material hosted under your account is legal and was obtained legally!
