Acceptable content for websites. Does HostGator allow my site?
For more information, we recommend reading the Terms of Service section 2.
Do you allow adult sites?
Yes, we allow adult sites. They must be legal in the United States of America.
Do you allow sites to advertise for money?
Yes, we allow sites to have commercial advertisements.
Can I use advertisement banners?
Static HTML banners are allowed, but a script-based banner uses the server processor and can crash the server (especially if the banner loads on many different pages).
Examples of unacceptable material:
STORING FILES - Our servers are not for archiving data, files, videos, mp3's or anything else. Archiving means storage, keeping a copy or backup, etc.
MEDIA STREAMING - HTTP stream has a defined beginning and end. Live stream joins in the middle of a broadcast, like tv, radio or webcam. We do support HTTP stream, but not live stream.
Other examples:
- IRC
- Pirated Software (Warez)
- Hateful/Racist/Harassment oriented sites
- Hacker focused sites/archives/programs
- Bank Debenture/ Trading Programs / Forex
- ...more can be located in our TOS
