Reselling with subdomains? help.
| Posted by phridge, 04-07-2005, 03:56 PM | | I am thinking of reselling hosting with an optional subdomain (yourname.myserver.com). I am worried about spammers. If someone sets up an account with me and starts sending spam email from my subdomain email account, the person that is hosting me will charge $100 per spam email sent.
I would like to know if there is anyway of transfering this $100 liability onto my clients?

Your TOS is up to you when you are reselling.

phridge - If your host is actually charging you $100 per spam e-mail sent out from one of your users, then you need to change hosts. That's the most absurd TOS "catch" that I've ever heard.

I think i'll just stick to normal domains so.
thanks for the advice!

| Posted by phridge, 04-08-2005, 08:42 AM | | I only get charged if they send it from my domain. ie. if they get a subdomain off me and a couple of email addresses. So I should be safe if I just let people register with their own domains!!
