Internet Web Site Hosting and E-mail Services.
Please read our policies thoroughly, as they are aimed at protecting the best interest of our customers.

The APSIS Concept Ltd. (APSIS) seeks to enable organizations to compete/operate on a global level, by acting as a neutral provider of comprehensive services and access to the Internet.

Should it be determined that an account has been inappropriately used, APSIS reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer's access to any or all of its services. If you are unsure whether any contemplated use or action is permitted, please send mail to info@apsisjamaica.com or call 876-759-5118 and we will assist you.

Unlimited Traffic and Unlimited Storage Policies.
The APSIS concept (much pun intended) behind "unlimited traffic" and "unlimited storage" is to provide our customers with as much storage space and bandwidth for active web pages [see Hosting FAQ's] as is required. APSIS is able to provide such services based upon a large storage to bandwidth ratio.

On rare occasions, however, a site's popularity and server usage may impair the performance of other sites on APSIS' servers. To avoid misuse of server space please ensure that all files (*.html, *.jpeg, *.gif, etc.) you store on APSIS servers are hyperlinked to active web pages on your site.

CGI chat scripts are also not allowed and are considered and abuse of bandwidth. Any cgi scripts that consume large amounts of CPU cycles or memory are actually not allowed [see CGI FAQ]. The user will be asked to remove any script that abuses system resources.

If you feel that your needs will exceed the resources available on our shared web servers, please do not hesitate to contact an APSIS representative at 876-759-5118 or sales@apsisjamaica.com to assist you in finding the most appropriate plan for you.

E-Mail Acceptable Use.
APSIS strictly prohibits harassment via email, whether through language, frequency, or size of messages. Forging of header information is not permitted. APSIS does not allow unsolicited mail. This includes "Spamming" and "Bulk Mail" sent to persons who have not requested to receive such mail. Our objection to these methods stems from the demands of extra bandwidth to handle their effects, further, the Internet community generally frowns upon such actions.
