Dear Valued Good-Host Customers,

During the last several weeks we've been literally flooded with accounts created to abuse our service. It appears that people do not want to read at least a few sentences of our Terms of Service when they sign up for an account, and we've got to respond to the situation.

From now on, we disable all outgoing TCP and UDP connections that are initiated by php or perl scripts on our AX3 server. This will reduce the above mentioned abuse by at least 60%.

From our estimation, this should not have effect on at least 99% of all legitimate accounts hosted with us. For legitimate users, whose websites compliy with our Terms of Service, we will continue to allow outgoing connections. Please see FAQ for details on how to enable outgoing connections for your account.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
