OVH dont allow warez linking

[Tango]

OVH have changed there policy on warez linking.

One complaint and the whole server is taken offline until you remove the site via recovery mode, this is a server I rent for someone as im in the UK.


Translated from a email in French :P
Madam, Sir, By the present one, we inform you that you have enfreint one or several clauses of the contracts binding you to OVH, namely: - general terms of Service - particular Conditions d' Lodging and Hiring dedicated Waiters In accordance with the caused conditions, we were constrained of to suspend your ks28327.kimsufi.com waiter for the following reason: copyright infringements: xXXXXtremew.org

They allowed warez linking in the past? i'm sure not.

 

[Tango]

They used to, i asked them before renting a server myself.

now dont allow proxys or warez linking, a bit fucked up seeming they allow seedboxes

 

[bentink]

They dont allow. Also I know to the best of my knowledge they never allowed in the past.

When people steal and use, that does not mean OVH allows it.

I don't see why they wouldn't allow proxies.

proxies aren't illegal :S

 

[vikassaini01]

well, I used them in the past and I used RapidLeech, TorrentFlux and warez-linking websites/forums on that server but never got even a single email from them,
No DMCA, No copyright, nothing !

However, that was ovh.de [OVH Germany]

May be they too changed their policies, who knows.

They say people have been using proxys on there network to use illegal cc so they dont allow them.

Webhoster in the EU can't allow warez linking. They can only tolerate it.

yea i got the same reason for my proxy site

on a side not they really never did allow warez linking just didnt enforce it hard like they must be now

 

[Tango]

Just an update..
They wont restore the server at all if a complaint is made.

They give you a read only FTP account to move all your data then terminate the server.

I just ordered a new Ded in Germany

They have multiple locations, They may not allow it at the location you are at

Yeah they did - but then brien kicked the crap out of them about it and they stopped.

 

[seeweed]

[zibo]
