Backup is customer’s responsibility. HostINGTA will not be liable for any loss of data resulting from any unforeseen event or for any kind of technical fault from our end. Customers with critical business information or important data are STRONGLY encouraged to seek a third-party backup service such as CodeGuard to protect against any unforeseen circumstances.

Having said that, we undertake periodic backups of data on our shared hosting servers, email infrastructure but the final responsibility for all backups of the data on your hosting packages rests with you. We strongly recommend that you take periodic backups and store them at your end so that you have multiple options in case of necessity for a restore.

You may request us for a backup of the last 7 days (from the date of request) and in most cases we will be able to provision this from our disaster recovery backups. However, this is not a part of our core hosting services and is merely a last resort. We will try our best to help you out but backups provisioning and restoration is an extremely time and resource intensive process and hence we can only promise a best effort service in this regard.

We strongly recommended that you make use of CodeGuard for reliable and cheap offsite back ups. Read more here – https://www.hostingta.com/codeguard

On VPS, Dedicated servers, Managed Servers, OX Email we do not maintain any backups that can be restored on a per server or package basis. For Managed Servers, you can buy additional SAN storage or another server and request us for backup configuration and we will be able to set this up for you.

Modifying Firewall Rules for Dedicated/Managed Servers:
On your backup request, We will share a list of IPs to be whitelisted in your firewall at all times to enable us to create the backup archive.

If there is a rule in iptables (server firewall) to block all connections or allow connections only from specific IP which does not include the ones shared in response to your ticket, we retain the right to reboot the server in single user mode, stop the iptables service and then access the server in order to check the abuse complaint reported without prior notice, if need be.

Note: Hostingta requires a fee of BDT 2000/= to provide backup on the Shared Hosting package, 6000/= for a Reseller Hosting package upto 10 cPanel Accounts.

Billing, Cancellation and Refund Policy

Subscribers who wish to cancel the account have to contact GTA via a support ticket. Such cancellation request will be revised by GTA staff members and then a final confirmation to cancel the account will be sent. Account cancellation will be processed only when the final confirmation from the subscriber will be sent (initial cancellation request will not be held as a final confirmation under any circumstance for security reasons).

If a confirmation to cancel the account is not sent by the subscriber, then the account cancellation will not be processed and the account will remain active. Any active subscriptions will be left intact.

After the account is canceled, no further billing on the account will be made. All files, settings and any other information related to the subscriber account will be removed from GTA servers.

Fraudulent Payment Policy:

If a payment on a client account is marked as fraudulent (such payments are reversed on the payment gateway), then GTA reserves the full right to stop any service provided to the client (including other accounts and other payments submitted by the same client) until the issues with the payment are solved. If the client refuses to solve issues with the payment which is marked as fraudulent GTA reserves the full right to delete all accounts and stop payment subscriptions provided to the client without any refund for security reasons.

Late Payment Policy:

All accounts are billed according to the dates they were first activated on. Accounts which are not renewed 5 days after the renewal date will be disabled. If the account is not renewed in 30 day period after the renewal date set on the account, then it will be terminated and all files will be removed. Subscriber will receive notifications if there is any action to be taken on his respectable account.

We reserve the right to refuse, cancel, or suspend service at our sole discretion. An example of the refusal of service is if an account continues to abuse our policies after warnings. Refusal, cancellation or suspension of services especially holds true to issues with spam or any script abuse. Another example of the refusal of service is if a customer becomes very unreasonable, unprofessional, extremely difficult to work with or threatening. Said customers account will be suspended and we will recommend to the customer to find a new host. No backup will be provided to such customer other than 3 working day to take backup if account not suspended or deleted.
