Please note that these are the terms for our LINUX HOSTING plans only. MS and Power hosting terms are found within their respective pages.
1.) Compila Ltd take no responsibility
for any information loaded to our customers accounts
or web sites. If it is brought to our attention,
and we deem the material to be inappropriate,
we will suspend the customer's service on accounts
or web sites, until any illegal or inappropriate
data is removed.
2.) The customer will fully indemnify Compila Ltd
against liability (of any nature), which may befall
Compila Ltd as a result of the customers illegal
use of our services.
3.) Refunds are only available, if the level of service
provided to the customer by Compila Ltd, is determined
unsatisfactory by the staff of Compila Ltd. No
refunds are available if the customer wishes to
cancel their account for any other reason. An
administration fee of £2.00 + Vat may become
due to cover bank and credit card charges.
Please note that any technical issues or problems that arise must be brought to Compila's attention straight away. Compila must be permitted to use all reasonable efforts to rectify problems before a refund can be claimed.
4.) Customers shall not provide copyrighted materials
without authorisation, provide obscene or offensive
material (e.g. pornographic), provide material
whose nature and/or volume compromises the ability
of Compila LTD's servers to serve other customers'
web sites (instances including but not limited
to unreasonable consumption of disk space, Internet
link bandwidth, CPU, and memory usage, as determined
by Compila LTD's staff), provide materials that
are deemed by the government authorities as inappropriate
or illegal. Any such government determinations
will be binding on the customer, not Compila Ltd.
5.) If you purchase a UK hosting plan with a free UK domain name, you are only able to use that domain name with that hosting plan.. If you require to use any other domain name with the hosting, then a fee of £15 + VAT is applied to make the necessary changes to align the existing domain name with the new hosting space.
6.) Compila Ltd may not wish to host web sites, including
but not limited to the following content, adult,
games, mobile phone tones or logos, computer games,
celebrities, warez, web sites owned by any customer
under 18 years of age, sites with webcams.
7.) Spamming or any type of unsolicited commercial
or non-commercial email, is strictly prohibited,
and your account may be suspended if you are found
to be doing so.
If your email address is receiving abnormal amounts of email from one host, then your server will block the sending server as a security precaution against receiving spam and slowing the services down for other users. This is an automatic procedure that is in place by the Cpanel system.
8.) Monthly bandwidth allowance is stated as unmetered. However, if we feel that a customer is using excessive
amounts of bandwidth, and is affecting the service
we provide to our other customers, then we reserve
the right to cancel their hosting package and
offer them a full refund less any domain name
registration fees. Any sites running mySQL bulletin
boards, message forums or Chat services are limited
to 3Gb of bandwidth per month. Additional bandwidth
fees may be applied.
9.) Bandwidth limits are put in place to make
sure that our customers do not breach our terms
and conditions. Within your cpanel you can enter
a email address to advise you when your site is
nearing its bandwidth. Please email support@compila.com when this email is received and providing the
site stays within our terms and conditions we
will increase the bandwidth.
10.) Buy 1 year get 1 year free offer. When you purchase the buy 1 year get 1 free offer, you agree to renew the account for a further year with us after the initial 2 years has completed if you require to keep the domain name. Please contact us at support@compila.com if you only wish to renew for 1 more year. If you wish to renew for 2 more years then please carry on as within your renewal email.
If you wish to transfer away after the initial period then you will be liable to pay for the second year that you received for free otherwise the domain name will transfer into Compila ownership.
You are free to cancel at anytime, but the domain name will transfer to Compila ownership for the remainder of its purchased period.
11.) Domain name only purchases are for registration only. Email and web forwarding are free services and are not part of the contract that you purchase when you buy a domain name. Compila cannot be held responsible for redirection failures if the recipient mailservers will not accept email from our servers.
12.) It is advisable, that if you want to use forums
on your web site, you use a php/mysql solution,
there are many free forum programs that can installed.
Perl or CGI forums are slow and inefficient. If
Compila deems necessary, the customer can be asked
to remove their forums or asked to switch to a
php/mysql solution.
13.) Spam email is one of the major
scourges of the Internet and is something we spend
lots of time and money on trying to fight for
our customers, but is something we cannot stop.
We have spam blockers running constantly on our
email servers, but due to the fact that spammers
constantly change the format of emails, it is
impossible for all emails to be blocked.
Anti spam filters run on all of our hosting plans. With our Commerce plan or above you also have the added facility of Spam Assassin, which allows you to greatly help reduce the amount of spam that you receive.
14.) Multimedia file types, limited in size to 5Mb,
including but not limited to .mov, .avi, .mp3,
.wav, .rm, .ram, .wmp, .zip, rar are permissible
but sites using these file types will be monitored,
and if Compila deems necessary 4 and 7 above will
apply. Any files over 5MB in size are not
allowed on our servers. Failure to adhere to this
may result to suspension of your site with no
prior warning.
15.) Compila Ltd is not responsible for any interruption
of service, and accepts no liability for any loss
of services, sales or any other form of loss.
16.) Compila Ltd reserves the right to alter these
terms and conditions at anytime and without notice.
17.) Powerplans do not have any bandwidth restrictions and host any files that are larger than 1MB. The only file restrictions that they have is that all files stored on the server must be used within the site. You cannot use the plan for file storage.
18.) Compila Ltd reserves the right to terminate any
accounts, at any time, where the user has made
unreasonable or inappropriate use of any of the
services supplied to the customer by Compila Ltd,
as deemed by our staff.

time of 2 weeks after expiry, then Compila cannot
be held responsible for the loss of any domain

20.) Any contracts that started before August 2009 and upgradde after will need to pay the additional fee for what the base plan now costs.
21.) Usernames are set automatically for hosting accounts. If you wish to have an alternative username, then you will need to pay an admin charge of £5 + VAT. Please note that although you can register domain names for other people under your account, if you do not require a username to contain your name, then you will need to set the account up in your clients name under their own account login.
22.) Compila offer a pop3 incoming mailservice.
For pop3 services all domains hosted with us are
required to use their ISP SMTP servers to send
email. Compila do not offer a pop3 SMTP service

- User error(s) or purposeful interruption(s) of the user service (e.g. if the client shuts his/her own server down, Compila.com is not responsible for the downtime);
- Failure due to software that is not explicitly supported by Compila.com. If a hardware crash provoked by the customer consequently occurs, Compila.com is beyond the control and responsibility for the resulting downtime.
