Termination of Hosting

We reserve the right to terminate hosting based on: uploading of inappropriate content; non-payment of hosting fees; excessive usage of resources; or any activity that could affect other clients or compromise server security. In all cases discretion will be applied and any action will be preceded by at least one warning.

Server software

All Chirp servers run Apache on Debian GNU/Linux. For dynamic website we are using PHP with PostgreSQL for the back-end database. We also use a number of other modules, most of which you can find listed under Useful Links.

We have chosen these packages because of their reliability and stability. We believe that these 'open source' products are more reliable and provide greater functionality than competing commercial packages.

Apache is used on 70% of web servers world-wide. Most of those servers are now running the PHP module which means that PHP is installed globally on over one third of web servers - and increasing at a rapid rate.
