1.2. Services Offered
OzSpeed offers a number of different products and services, including but not limited to those listed below. These Terms and our Policies apply to all Services, whether or not listed below. Details are available on the websites indicated and the details at those websites do not modify or supplement these Terms or our Policies.
a. Dedicated Hosting
Dedicated Hosting offers exclusive use of server resources for a single client. This solution is ideal for high-traffic websites and resource-intensive applications. Clients have full administrative access and control over server configuration, software installations, and resource allocation. Dedicated Hosting plans include enhanced security measures, such as dedicated IP addresses, advanced firewall configurations, and regular security audits. Additionally, we offer managed services for Dedicated Hosting, which include server monitoring, updates, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and uptime.
b. Domain Registration and Transfers
Domain name registration and transfer services allow clients to secure and manage domain names according to registry regulations. Domain registration is available for a minimum term of one year, with renewal required before expiry to maintain ownership. Transfers of domain names from other registrars are facilitated, requiring the domain to meet eligibility criteria and authorization requirements. Clients must provide accurate information and comply with all relevant policies and laws to ensure continued ownership and service effectiveness.
c. VPS Hosting
Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting services offer a dedicated virtual server environment with guaranteed resources, including CPU, RAM, and storage. Each VPS operates independently with full root access, allowing Clients to manage and configure the server to meet their specific needs.
Terms Specific to Domain Name Services
We act as a reseller for domain names. When you apply to register a domain name through us, your request will be processed through our partnered domain registrar. By using our Domain Name Services, you agree to comply with the domain name registration policies and procedures of our registrar. Due to the nature of domain name registration, we cannot guarantee that your domain name will be successfully registered.
2.1. Domain Name Management
After your domain name is registered, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that it does not lapse and is renewed on time. We are not liable for any lapses or any damages caused by such lapses. While we will make commercially reasonable efforts to renew any domain names that are set to auto-renew, the ultimate responsibility for renewal lies with you. We shall have no liability for any failure to renew, auto-renew, any related domain expiration, or the registration of any expired domain by a third party.
2.2. Intellectual Property Considerations
It is your responsibility to fully investigate and ensure that the domain name you register does not infringe upon the legal or intellectual property rights of others. We do not check to see whether a domain name you register or use infringes the rights of any third party, and we strongly recommend that you seek legal counsel before registering any domain name.
2.3. Legal Compliance and Transfer Policies
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any legal order to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name. In accordance with the policies of the relevant domain name authorities, a transfer lock may apply to your domain name(s) in the event of any “Change of Registrant.” This lock is designed to protect your domain from unauthorized transfers. Any “Change of Registrant” will trigger a mandatory transfer lock period as defined by the relevant authorities. The current parameters that trigger this lock include changes to the registrant’s First Name, Last Name, Organization Name, and Email. This feature is mandatory, and opting out is not available.
2.4. Registrant Rights and Responsibilities
By using our Domain Name Services, you agree to comply with the policies for Domain Verification and any other current or future policies enacted by the relevant domain name authorities. More information on these policies can be found at the following links:
– auDA’s Policies and Procedures
– ICANN’s Registrant Rights and Responsibilities

We will notify you by email if any assigned IP address needs to be changed. IP addresses provided are for use solely in connection with the Services and are non-transferable.
3.3. Resource Usage
When using our hosting Services, you must not excessively burden our CPUs, servers, or other resources, including customer support services.
