Terms of Service
Terms and Conditions of bit.hosting Services
These rules govern the use of bit.hosting services, including VPS/VDS, dedicated servers, network services, additional IP addresses, DNS and other services available in the client area.
Payment for any service, topping up the account balance, account registration or actual use of the service means the Client's full acceptance of these rules, the terms of service, the acceptable use policy and related documents.
Ignorance of these rules does not release the Client from responsibility for violating them.
