IP Usage Policy

Justification and Usage
FastServers.Net will continue to provide a minimum of 5 IP addresses to each standard server (Shared firewall and shared load balancer servers are not standard). In an effort to maintain organization within our network, a justification list attached to your additional IP address requests is now mandatory before we release them for your use. The cost will continue to be a low $1/mo. per 4 IP addresses.

FastServers.Net respects the need for IP addresses within a hosting environment and makes all reasonable efforts to provide IPs to those in need. While trying to maintain the needs of all customers involved, a number of policies are in place to insure fair distribution of IP Address Space.

Technically, the only need for IP addresses at this point is giving your customers the ability to use a private SSL certificate or establishing Virtual Name Servers. Additionally when providing Virtual Name Servers, these IP's can still be used for hosting websites without loosing any functionality. IP based webhosting is not considered valid justification. VHOSTS which are used for IRC services are not considered justifiable IP addresses.

No more than 32 IP Addresses will be distributed at a given time.

Just as we are asking of you, FastServers.Net must maintain justification to our upstream provider and will maintain a fair policy so that all customers that have technical needs for IP addresses, will have the opportunity to use them.

Unauthorized use of non-assigned IP Addresses FastServers.Net provides IP address space to many customers, this space is provided on a server by server basis. When adding IP addresses to servers it is the owners responsibility to ensure accuracy and add only the specific IP addresses assigned to them. When IP addresses are added that are not specifically assigned this can cause downtime for other customers. When this occurs FastServers.Net is held responsible by the customers that are affected. The following actions will take place if you put IPs on your server that are not authorized and assigned.

• The server will be disabled until contact is made with the System Administrator.
• A $150 labor fee will be applied to your account.
• If 2nd offense occurs your dedicated server will be immediately cancelled without refund.
