			<description><![CDATA[General Forum Rules:<br />
These rules apply to all Forum categories.<br />
<br />
Make sure to read everything thoroughly before posting anything on the forum. Any violation of the below given rules may result in account suspension.<br />
<br />
The below forums regulations/rules are subject to change without notice, and we recommend that you periodically look over this document in order to keep up to date. We reserve the right to terminate any user's account and/or remove any user's content at anytime, for any reason, without notice.<br />
<br />
0. Discussions about any other hosting companies are not permitted unless specifically permitted by the staff.<br />

<br />
2. If you SPAM our members in any manner, your account will be disabled. Do not contact anyone to suggest your product or service who is not explicitly expecting you to contact them. If you gleaned information from anywhere other than the advertising forums and use that to contact someone and present an offer, it's SPAM. <br />
<br />
3. Your account is yours alone. You are responsible for any activity created with it. You may not share your account login with anyone. If you choose to ignore this important restriction your account, and any accounts associated with it, will be disabled. <br />

<br />
5. Signature Spam (a post that was made in hopes of showing a signature, as determined by moderators) is forbidden in all forum categories. <br />
<br />
6. You may not post commission, referral or affiliate links anywhere on the forum. You may not link to sites whose main income is derived from affiliate or referral links. <br />

<br />
10. You may not post words or URLs that are censored by adding spaces, dots, or substituting characters; or by any other means in an attempt to defeat any censors put in place by Hostown.com Community Forums. Please contact us if you feel a word or URL is unjustly censored. <br />

<br />
<br />
12. You may not bump threads. Bumping can refer to posting useless information, posting one-liners or any other action to deliberately keep a thread hot or to bring it to the top of its forum. Moderators will use their discretion, depending on the nature of the post, as to whether to take action or not. <br />
<br />
13. You may not use discussions to recommend, praise, or belittle other products or services, or any company; without first hand experience of those products or services. This includes companies recommending other companies. Any post not meeting a moderator's criteria will be removed without notice. <br />

14. Any posts that encourage illegal intent will be removed and the account disabled. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[Privacy Policy <br />
<br />
<br />
Hostown.com is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of visitors to our web sites as well as the privacy of our actual customers. For visitors, we've structured our web sites so that, in general, you can visit us on the web without identifying yourself or revealing any personal information. For customers, once you choose to provide us personally identifiable information, you can be assured that it will only be used to support your customer relationship with Hostown.com.<br />
  <br />
  <br />
1. Visitors To Our Web Site <br />
  <br />
a) The Information We Collect: <br />
  When you visit our web site, our web server collects basic user information about you that includes your ISP's domain, the time you accessed our web site, and the pages from within our web site that you visit. We may at times also use cookies, which are small pieces of information that a web site can store in a designated file on your computer. Cookies allow a web application to respond to you as an individual. By gathering and remembering information about your preferences, the web application can tailor its operation to your needs, likes, and dislikes. Our web server does not collect your e-mail address or aggregate information on what other pages on the Web you have accessed or visited. <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
b) How We Use Information: <br />
  The basic user information collected is used to help us analyze web traffic and to improve the content of our web site. Cookies may be used to facilitate your customer interaction with us. For example, we may use a cookie on the landing page of products sold online which record the customer information that is required on the order form, and then forward this information to our internal sales tracking database. We may from time to time disclose to third parties aggregate information on our web site's traffic profile. For example, Internet advertising companies may require this data to help us better target our advertisements on our web site(s) and/or other web sites. Note that our site provides links to products and services offered by other companies; the company's web site that you link to will be able to determine that you linked from our web site. <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
  <br />
  <br />
2. To Hostown.com Customers <br />
  <br />
 <br />
  Hostown.com has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our commitment to privacy to our customers and users of this website. This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Hostown.com uses, maintains and discloses information collected from its customers and users of its website. <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
a) Privacy: <br />
  Hostown.com is committed to developing long-lasting relationships based on trust. In furtherance of this goal, Hostown.com will do everything in its power to ensure that your right to privacy is maintained and protected. This website is not directed at children under 13 years of age.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
b) Information We Collect: <br />
  Hostown.com may request or collect personal information from online users in a variety of ways, including through online forms for ordering products and services, and other instances where users are invited to volunteer such information.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
c) The data we collect is information that identifies you personally, such as: <br />
    • Your name<br />
• E-mail address<br />
• Postal address <br />
• Telephone and telefax numbers<br />
• URL <br />
• Credit card information <br />
• Other billing information <br />
Hostown.com may also collect information about how users access the website using a tracking ID unique to each user through the use of cookies. <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
d) What are Cookies: <br />
  A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For session ID cookies, once you close your browser or log out, the cookie terminates and is erased. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your computer's hard drive for an extended period of time. Your browser's help file contains information and instructions for removing persistent cookies. Session ID cookies may be used by Hostown.com to track user preferences while the user is visiting the website. They also help to minimize load times and save on server processing. Persistent cookies may be used by Hostown.com to store whether, for example, you want your password remembered or not, and other information. Cookies used on the Hostown.com website do not contain personally identifiable information.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
e) Log Files: <br />
  Like most standard websites, we use log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. However, none of the information stored in our log files, including but not limited to IP addresses, is linked to personally identifiable information.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
f) How we use this information:  <br />
  Hostown.com may use the personally identifiable information collected by Hostown.com to contact customers regarding products and services offered by Hostown.com and, to the extent the user has agreed to it, by its trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners. We may also use this information for research purposes regarding the effectiveness of our website services, marketing, advertising and sales efforts. Hostown.com will not in any way share this information with a third party either for free or by selling it, unless you specifically authorize such disclosures.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
g) Disclosure of Information:  <br />
  Hostown.com may also disclose aggregate, anonymous data based on information collected from users to investors and potential partners. In such cases, only statistical information will be disclosed and personally identifiable data will be kept strictly confidential. In case Hostown.com is sold, the information collected from users may be transferred to the new owners. <br />
<br />
Hostown.com may from time to time engage third parties, including its own subsidiaries and affiliated companies, to preserve, analyze or otherwise store or manipulate data received by Hostown.com from its customers. In all such cases, third party service providers will be required to treat all such data with the same degree of care as Hostown.com and they will be prohibited from disclosing such data to any other person or party, except as otherwise provided for in this Privacy Policy.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
h) Special Offers and Updates: <br />
  Our customers and users will occasionally receive newsletters or e-mails with information on products, services, or special offers. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, Hostown.com gives them the opportunity to opt-out from receiving these types of communications.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
i) Service Announcements:  <br />
  On rare occasions, it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement, if, for instance, our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
j) Legal Disclaimer:  <br />
  Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary and required to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on Hostown.com. <br />
<br />
The Hostown.com website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Hostown.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. The Hostown.com Privacy Policy as described herein applies solely to information collected by Hostown.com.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
k) Maintenance of Information:  <br />
  The information provided to Hostown.com is saved indefinitely and may be stored on one or more databases directly or indirectly maintained by Hostown.com. Hostown.com employs industry-standard security measures to protect the confidentiality of the information. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur; we make every effort to prevent such occurrences. Any other particularly sensitive information, such as credit card numbers collected for commercial transactions, is encrypted prior to transmission by you to Hostown.com.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
l) Your Responsibility: <br />
  You are responsible for the security of your Customer ID and passwords. Make sure you keep them in a safe place and do not share them with others. Always remember to log out after your session ends to ensure that others cannot access your private personal information. You should take this precaution even if you are not using a public computer, such as at a library or internet cafe, but even when using your private computer in your home. <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />

 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
a) Privacy: <br />
  Hostown.com is committed to developing long-lasting relationships based on trust. In furtherance of this goal, Hostown.com will do everything in its power to ensure that your right to privacy is maintained and protected. This website is not directed at children under 13 years of age.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
b) Information We Collect: <br />
  Hostown.com may request or collect personal information from online users in a variety of ways, including through online forms for ordering products and services, and other instances where users are invited to volunteer such information.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
c) The data we collect is information that identifies you personally, such as: <br />
    • Your name<br />
• E-mail address<br />
• Postal address <br />
• Telephone and telefax numbers<br />
• URL <br />

  <br />
  <br />
d) What are Cookies: <br />
  A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. We may use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For session ID cookies, once you close your browser or log out, the cookie terminates and is erased. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on your computer's hard drive for an extended period of time. Your browser's help file contains information and instructions for removing persistent cookies. Session ID cookies may be used by Hostown.com to track user preferences while the user is visiting the website. They also help to minimize load times and save on server processing. Persistent cookies may be used by Hostown.com to store whether, for example, you want your password remembered or not, and other information. Cookies used on the Hostown.com website do not contain personally identifiable information.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
e) Log Files: <br />
  Like most standard websites, we use log files. This information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. However, none of the information stored in our log files, including but not limited to IP addresses, is linked to personally identifiable information.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
f) How we use this information:  <br />
  Hostown.com may use the personally identifiable information collected by Hostown.com to contact customers regarding products and services offered by Hostown.com and, to the extent the user has agreed to it, by its trusted affiliates, independent contractors and business partners. We may also use this information for research purposes regarding the effectiveness of our website services, marketing, advertising and sales efforts. Hostown.com will not in any way share this information with a third party either for free or by selling it, unless you specifically authorize such disclosures.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
g) Disclosure of Information:  <br />
  Hostown.com may also disclose aggregate, anonymous data based on information collected from users to investors and potential partners. In such cases, only statistical information will be disclosed and personally identifiable data will be kept strictly confidential. In case Hostown.com is sold, the information collected from users may be transferred to the new owners. <br />
<br />
Hostown.com may from time to time engage third parties, including its own subsidiaries and affiliated companies, to preserve, analyze or otherwise store or manipulate data received by Hostown.com from its customers. In all such cases, third party service providers will be required to treat all such data with the same degree of care as Hostown.com and they will be prohibited from disclosing such data to any other person or party, except as otherwise provided for in this Privacy Policy.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
h) Special Offers and Updates: <br />
  Our customers and users will occasionally receive newsletters or e-mails with information on products, services, or special offers. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, Hostown.com gives them the opportunity to opt-out from receiving these types of communications.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
i) Service Announcements:  <br />
  On rare occasions, it is necessary to send out a strictly service-related announcement, if, for instance, our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
j) Legal Disclaimer:  <br />
  Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary and required to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order or legal process served on Hostown.com. <br />
<br />
The Hostown.com website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Hostown.com is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. The Hostown.com Privacy Policy as described herein applies solely to information collected by Hostown.com.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />

While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur; we make every effort to prevent such occurrences. Any other particularly sensitive information, such as credit card numbers collected for commercial transactions, is encrypted prior to transmission by you to Hostown.com.  <br />
 <br />
  <br />
  <br />
l) Your Responsibility: <br />

Always remember to log out after your session ends to ensure that others cannot access your private personal information. You should take this precaution even if you are not using a public computer, such as at a library or internet cafe, but even when using your private computer in your home. <br />
