On a paid hosting account, you may have the following file formats in your web
space: HTML files, Text files, and Image files (GIF, JPG, PNG). Other files we
may allow on a limited basis are Movie (MOV, WMV, AVI, SWF, ASF, etc.),
Audio (MP3, WAV, MOD, RA, RAM, etc.) and some other binary files (ZIP, EXE, COM,
PSD, PSP, etc.) In all cases, you must be the legal owner or have permission from
original creator of the files. Copyright or intellectual property infringement is
not tolerated.
You may not have Movie, Audio, or any other binary file types on your
CGI server, however. Only text (HTML, PHP, PL, CGI, etc.) and web-based image
files (GIF, JPG, JPEG, JPE, PNG) are allowed on the CGI server. Shockwave Flash
files may also be used as part of your site's design template.
We also may restrict Bandwidth
when necessary. This applies to any file that has a large file size. Generally,
movies, music, sound, and image files tend to be rather large. Please be sure to
keep your file sizes small and only distribute a small amount of these files. Even one
large file may cause problems for your site. Please see

Active Web Hosting does not allow illegal activity or copyright material you
do not have permission to use on your web sites. The following is a guide to
some of the items that are not allowed on your web site. Active Web Hosting
reserves the right to take offline any site that is suspected of illegal activity.
No "Warez", "Cracks", Hacks, pirated materials, or anything that is not legally distributable. If you don't own or have permission to distribute the program, then it is not allowed on the servers.
No material that encourages hate, violence, or illegal activity. You are free to speak your mind, as long as it may not incite others to commit an illegal or criminal act.
No material that encourages breaking into computers, spreading or writing viruses, or that contains popups or other intrusive measures that are illegal and/or can cause harm to a visitor's computer, or Active Web Hosting's servers.
No copyright material which you do not own and/or have permission to use on your web site. You may get an email notice requesting you to review the files on your site. If you have items on your site that do not belong to you or that you don't have permission to use, you will be required to remove them or your domain may be taken offline and unavailable to visitors until you do. If you are sure that the content on your site is legit, and/or you have removed the questionable material, you can then email support@activewebhosting.com to have your domain put back online. You can always check the status of your domain and the reason it was taken offline by visiting the Account Administration System page.
No Porn, or any offensive material.
No non-web file types such as zip, mp3, exe, etc. on your CGI server.
No very large files. Be very careful with the file size of music, video, archived (zip, etc.) and other binary files.
Do not host others on your CGI server.
