I’m not sure what you are accusing people of here. Yes. we run security systems to protect your website and our servers. Any sane hosting provider does this, because nobody wants to have their website impacted by a noisy neighbor getting attacked. And the simple fact that many, many, many people using web hosting are not experienced security engineers and may make errors which make their website vulnerable.
Don’t believe? Just look around this forum. Tons of people using outdated and/or pirated software. And dumping unfiltered POST data into an SQL query (a massive SQL injection vulnerability) seems to be the norm with custom coded sites here.
And we’re by no means “hiding” the use of these security systems. We explain what they do and why we use them in our knowledge base and our forum, all of which you can see before signing up. Yes, there isn’t a flashing red banner and an alarm sound at the registration page saying THIS HOSTING PROVIDER TRIES TO PROTECT WEBSITES WITH JAVASCRIPT. If we added a warning like that anyone told us “you should tell people about XXX before signing up”, you’d spend half an hour clicking away warning boxes. And I hope I don’t have to explain why that’s not helping anyone.
Yes, the terms of service contain very little specifics about limits and security systems. That’s because we regularly tune and adapt the limits in order to best protect the performance and availability of our platform and the sites running on it. The terms of service is first and foremost a legal document, not a technical one.
@Admin if you perform automated javascript injection to content conveyed from a account hosted on your server, you need to clearly state that in your terms of service.
This is precisely required for the reason you mention, the terms of service is first and formost a legal document !
Your under the terms of InfinityFree. Stop insulting the people whom are helping you. If you read the privacy policy enough it will mention , most likely, something about the websites being on IF’s systems so they can put what they want
Hello, @free_software Do actually want to have bots or crawls to access your website???
Remember, this hosting is shared hosting (not dedicated) it means that you’re sharing resources with other user
Imagine crawls or bots and inject an virus into your website
Seriously it’ll infect other website (hosted on IF) too
And remember maybe someone wants his/her want to be protected from spam/bots/crawls to visit his/her website And imagine this protection removed Seriously it’ll bring a ton of security holes
And @free_software do you understand what we’re saying???
If not then go inspect that javascript code
If you can’t what does that javascript code do then PLEASE learn javascript
If you still don’t understand what we’re talking about go try to open your own server! and go ask many crawlers and hackers to hack and crawl your own site/server!
And if you still don’t understand then go AWAY and search another hosting that doesn’t have this protection and then all crawlers and hackers will go attack your website and then congrats your website is now !

Your now spamming messages, and no. When you understand enough about hosting and policies to give me a valid argument, And admin, a grown adult a valid argument of which you have half a chance of being taken seriously. THEN talk
So you made me read the whole TOS(I wasted time for an spammer lol ).
Now here we go,
