If the solution or explanation gets accepted, the customer would get a warning and / or finds an abuse fee. If BoltServers feels that the 1st offense was a somewhat deliberate attempt, then the account & everything associated accounts would get closed with no warnings & refunds. BoltServers doesn’t offer refunds in case of termination of service owing to any of the reasons given above. Dedicated Websites or Server comprised of AUP matters or unsolved Abuse which don’t get responded to in 10 days would be taken as ditched & would get erased from its offending account.

Note: For servers that are Anti DDoS subscribed, the palliation procedure would be performed automatically & a notification would be delivered to the owner of the server. Keep in mind that the IP address under palliation will be disable from IMCP as a rule of our palliation plan. Hence, the server at question would seem unreachable when PING gets performed. 2) The server hosting would get released only if it’s repositioned to a different network segment that’s got minimal DDoS palliation service for trying & protecting the server from the ongoing DDoS ambushes. 3) If there’s a 2nd ongoing DDoS going on, the server would get suspended for preventing a big network outage cut-off on all of the network services & devices. A 1-time fee of $100 applies for performing blackhole/nullroute on the server for reinstating the server. 4) If the same server gets under attack the 3rd time, Permanent Suspension would be given & hosting package would be eliminated – no refunds.
DDoS Attacking (Ambushing Others)
1) If any of the servers is found emitting DDOS packets, the server would be taken under suspension & the IP address would be blackholed/nullrouted right away. The customer would be notified & would require to investigate & perform the essential fix on the server at attack. For doing so, our support engineers would allow the server owner to access the server’s SSH connection or RDC. The server would be restored after the confirmation is underway about the main reason for the outgoing attacks get fixed & cleared up. NOTE: In case of Co-Location Server hosting, the owners of the servers would need to send the engineers onsite at the data center for performing investigation & essential amends prior to the server getting reinstated. 2) The server hosting would get terminated & a Permanent Suspension notification would be delivered to the owner of the server for any sort of repetitive outbound attacks. Note: In case of Shared Hosting packages, the 1st DDOS attack (outgoing or incoming) would get considered coincidental & would get released after 24h to 48h. Should the account get attacked the 2nd time, a permanent suspension would be given for the given package. There would be no reconsideration after the ultimate decision regarding the Permanent Suspension. Customer might ask for the data back-up link. Anti DDOS subscription is applicable only for the IP address that’s palliated. Clients are suggested to opt for the Anti DDOS protection for all of the IPs inside their package.
