Why this policy exists
Your website shares servers and network with other SpeediHost customers. This policy keeps everyone safe and fast, and keeps our IP addresses off spam blacklists so your emails get delivered. It is part of our Terms of Service.
Not allowed on SpeediHost
- Anything illegal in Pakistan, including content prohibited under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 and PTA regulations.
- Pornographic or sexually explicit content, and any content that exploits or harms children. We report child abuse material to the authorities.
- Content that promotes terrorism, violence or hatred against people because of their religion, sect, ethnicity, gender or nationality.
- Copyright or trademark infringement, including pirated software, films, music and books, or counterfeit goods.
- Phishing pages, fake bank or wallet login pages, scams, and fraudulent shops.
- Malware, viruses, botnets, or hosting files used to attack others.
- Online gambling and betting sites.
- Selling or sharing stolen data, hacked accounts or other people's personal information.
- Impersonating another person, company or government body.
Email and spam
- Send email only to people who asked to hear from you. No bought or scraped email lists.
- Every marketing email must include a working unsubscribe link.
- Shared hosting accounts may send up to 200 emails per hour. For newsletters to large lists, use a dedicated email marketing service.
- Accounts that get our servers blacklisted may be paused until the cause is fixed.
Server and network
- No cryptocurrency mining, password cracking, or other heavy processing on shared or reseller hosting.
- No port scanning, hacking attempts or denial-of-service attacks against any system.
- No open proxies, VPN services, IRC servers or torrent trackers on shared hosting.
- Do not use shared hosting as file storage or backup space for files not used by your website.
- Keep your website software (like WordPress and plugins) updated. Hacked, outdated sites are a risk to everyone on the server.
What happens if the rules are broken
Most problems are accidents, such as a hacked WordPress plugin. In those cases we contact you on WhatsApp, explain what we found and help you fix it.
If something is causing harm right now (for example, sending spam, hosting a phishing page or attacking other servers), we may suspend the affected website or account immediately and then contact you. Serious or repeated breaches can lead to account termination without refund. We cooperate with lawful requests from Pakistani authorities.

To report spam, phishing, malware or other abuse involving a website or email on our network, write to abuse@speedihost.com. Include the website address, what you found, and any evidence such as email headers or screenshots. We review every report and act on valid ones, usually within 24 hours.

- your name and contact details,
- the work you own and where the copy appears (exact URL),
- a statement that you believe the use is not authorized, and that your notice is accurate.
We will forward valid notices to the website owner and may remove the content. The owner can reply with a counter-notice if they believe the complaint is wrong.
