QUESTION: Does BusinessPower.com allow "Adult Sites"?

ANSWER: No, BusinessPower.com does not allow the placement on our Webspace of any sexually explicit materials, whether they be in graphical, textual, video,Ê sound, encrypted, protected, proprietary, or any other formats.

We object to the hosting of adult content on moral grounds and for the logistical problems that it would entail, i.e. greatly fluctuating bandwidth, security problems, and legal considerations. Adult sites can place unexpected and greatly varying demands upon the host dedicated Web server thus jeopardizing the security of all other Virtual Web ServerÊ accounts hosted on that dedicated server.


QUESTION: Does BusinessPower.com allow "bulk Email"?

ANSWER: No, BusinessPower.com does not allow the Email POP3 accounts or the BusinessPower.com Email Servers to be used for the purpose of sending unsolicited or "bulk Email".

While we make every effort to secure our servers from these kinds of attacks, if we were to permit our clients to engage in "bulk Email" practices we would jeopardize the security and integrity of the Email and Web services for all our clients.

QUESTION: I got a "Certificate of Authority Expired" message when connecting to your secure sites.

ANSWER: It's good security practice to limit the validity period of any certificate. Every Certificate Authority limits the validity of its roots, so all CA's areÊ affected by root expiration and rollover. The only browser affected is Netscape Navigator 3.x. After July 27th, those users who have not goneÊ through the quick rollover process will see a dialog box stating that the root certificate that issued this site cert has expired, and giving themÊ the option to continue or cancel. The "continue" button will let them establish a secure session as usual. The quick rollover process eliminatesÊ these warnings till 2020.
