"1. User is solely responsible for the quality, performance and all other aspects of the User Content and the goods or services provided through the User Web site.

2. User will cooperate fully with FatCow in connection with FatCow’s provision of the Services. User must provide any equipment or software that may be necessary for User to use the Services. Delays in User’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement will extend the time for FatCow’s performance of its obligations that depend on User’s performance on a day for day basis. User must provide complete, correct and genuine contact information in the Registration Form and update such information as necessary from time to time so it remains complete, correct and genuine at all times; failure to do so may result in suspension or cancellation of Services. User will notify FatCow of any change in User’s mailing address, telephone, electronic mail or other contact information.

3. User assumes full responsibility for providing end users with any required disclosure or explanation of the various features of the User Web site and any goods or services described therein, as well as any rules, terms or conditions of use.

4. Because the Services permit Users to electronically transmit or upload content directly to the User Web site, User shall be fully responsible for uploading all content to the User Web site and supplementing, modifying and updating the User Web site, including all back-ups. User is also responsible for ensuring that the User Content and all aspects of the User Web site are compatible with the hardware and software used by FatCow to provide the Services, as the same may be changed by FatCow from time to time. FatCow shall not be responsible for any damages to the User Content, the User Web site or other damages or any malfunctions or service interruptions caused by any failure of the User Content or any aspect of the User Web site to be compatible with the hardware and software used by FatCow to provide the Services.

5. User is solely responsible for making back-up copies of the User Web site and User Content.

6. FatCow does not maintain backup copies of User Web sites or e-mail. FatCow cannot guarantee that the contents of a Web site will never be deleted or corrupted, or that a backup of a Web site will always be available. Users should always copy all content of a Web site to a local computer and FatCow strongly suggest that Users make an additional copy (on tape, CD, multiple floppies, another desktop, or elsewhere) to ensure the availability of the files.

7. User is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of login and billing information. FatCow is not liable for any account disputes that may arise between various parties holding account login information. FatCow is not responsible for any changes made to the account or any information that has been modified by User, or any parties authorized by User, to access the control panel. User is responsible for updating and maintaining contact and billing information with FatCow. Any changes to the User contact information must be made using the account control panel or by contacting our Support Team. User is responsible for ensuring that FatCow is able to notify the User for technical, billing or other issues or purposes deemed necessary by FatCow to maintain the account.

8. Free Web Hosting. If you have enrolled in a free plan, your Web site may carry advertising HTML for FatCow or a third party, which could include different types of advertisements, including banners or pop-ups. If you would prefer not to have such advertising on your Web site, we encourage you to sign up for a plan that does not include advertising. Our Support Team can help you choose the plan that is right for you."

FatCow Domain Privacy

CheapHostingChoice — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:22:15 +0000

Every time you register a domain name, your name, address and phone number are entered into a public database that can be viewed and used by anyone. This exposes your personal information to spammers, telemarketers and other undesired third parties.

FatCow’s Domain Privacy service allows you to retain your domain name without having to expose your personal information to the public.

Here’s how it works:

* Your domain registration information, including the Administrative, Billing and Technical contacts are masked with generic information within public WHOIS databases. You still retain full ownership and control of your domain name.
* Requests to view your domain’s contact information are filtered and forwarded to you.
* You decide whether to respond.

Please note: You must enter accurate contact information when registering your domain. Entering inaccurate information can result in your domain being locked and taken away from you by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the governing body for domains.

Domain Privacy helps to protect you from:

* Unwanted spam
* Identity theft
* Fraud
* Stalkers
* Unintended identity disclosure

Fatcow supports Domain Privacy on the following domain extensions: .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .name .cc, .tv

Pricing For $8.99 per year you can ensure your personal data is protected 24 hours a day!

What is FatCow Automated Domain Renewal Service?

CheapHostingChoice — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 13:46:10 +0000

When enabled, the Automated Domain Renewal Service will automatically initiate the renewal process for all valid domains fifteen (15) days before a domain’s expiration date. If your account has an available Domain Credit, fatcow will apply that Domain Credit to the domain renewal, otherwise fatcow will attempt to charge the credit card on file for your account.

Important: an unused Domain Credit or a valid credit card must be accessible through your account for a domain to be renewed through the Automated Domain Renewal System.

By participating in the Automated Domain Renewal Service, you are authorizing FatCow to act on your behalf to initiate the renewal of your domain(s) and charge your credit card for the renewal. If fatcow is unable to renew your domain, they will send a message to the e-mail address on file for your account, providing instructions for renewing the domain manually.

If your renewal is processed by credit card, you will be charged the price advertised on the FatCow site on the day that the charge is applied.

FatCow’s Automated Domain Renewal Service can be used for domains registered through the following domain registrars: Tucows/OpenSRS, Network Solutions and eNom, provided the domain was registered in, or transferred to, FatCow’s master account with the registrar. At this time, the Automated Domain Renewal Service does not work with other registrars or domains registered to a different master account. If you would like to use the Automated Domain Renewal System and your domain does not meet the above criteria, please contact fatcow Support Team to request a registrar transfer…
