Minecraft Servers

RAM is restricted based on plan ordered. Your server will be allocated with the full amount you purchased. Any memory used for additional java flags (Such as PermGen) will use this allocated memory therefore actual memory in game may not show the full amount that your server is allocated.

Slots on our minecraft servers are unrestricted

Unlimited slots on servers means you can set your server to any slot number you want, this does not mean your server will be able to handle unlimited players. The amount of players your server can handle depends on the RAM you have and plugins/mods/settings on your server.

CPU intensive servers may be suspended without warning to prevent causing any issues to other clients. You will be notified of this and will give you as much advice possible to get your server using a reasonable amount of CPU resources.

Disk space is unlimited based on fair-usage for the node you are on.

If you are found to be using a script that increases the RAM allocation of your server to more than purchased your server will be terminated without refund.

Plugins that allow multiple servers to be run on the same package are not allowed. Examples of this are the sub-servers Spigot/Bukkit plugin.

Denial of Service Attacks (DDoS)

PixelHost reserves the right to disable and terminate your server if your server is regularly attacked with denial of service attacks which disrupt other users.

Support

We aim to provide an average response time of 2 hours, some responses may take longer however depending on the complexity of the request.

Spamming the ticket system will create a further delay in response, if this is continued, you may be banned from the support ticket system and thus will not be able to get support for your services.

We reserve the right to not respond due to abusive comments (i.e. Swearing and causing other issues) if this is continued, your services may be terminated without refund.

Cancellations, Refunds, Chargebacks

All Minecraft and web hosting plans are final sale.

We do not currently provide refunds unless there is a valid reason to which we should be issuing the refund. If you are having trouble setting up your server please open a support ticket!

A chargeback or dispute of any payment will result in the immediate termination of all services you own. No refunds will be given. You will be blacklisted from Pixelhost when this happends.

If a chargeback rules in the favor of the customer and we believe that the chargeback was fraudulent, you will be referred to a credit collections agency.

Refunds are only offered to new clients who have made an attempt to resolve an issue with their service. Any clients which have purchased a service previously are not eligible for any refunds.

PixelHost reserves the right to terminate your account at any time. Any fees that have been paid in advance of cancellation will be refunded to you if cancellation is initiated by PixelHost based on their discretion.

Backups

Backups are only provided for Minecraft plans

If you wish to create your own backups you may do so as long as they are stored on an external drive separated from our nodes. Failure to comply will result in one of our team members contacting you requesting that you reduce your storage within 48 hours or your server will be suspended.

PixelHost provides 5 day backups where each day a backup is taken between 3am and 10am server time.

Backups are held on a separate storage drive which is not accessible by the customer

If backups are not available due to an error, PixelHost is not responsible for the loss of your file(s), content, worlds etc.
