updates and service announcements.
Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user’s computer tied to information about the user. At DifferentHost,
we use both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. For the session ID cookie, once users close the browser,
the cookie simply terminates. A persistent cookie is a small text file stored on the user’s hard drive for an
extended period of time. Persistent cookies can be removed by clicking on the link below:
Remove all cookies set by this site
By setting a cookie on our site, users would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time
while on our site. If users reject the cookie, they may still use our site. The only drawback to this is that the
user will be limited in some areas of our site. For example, the user will not be able to participate in our
forums. Persistent cookies enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on
our site.
Third Party Advertising
There are no third party advertising on this site so users do not have to worry about cookies set for advertising
Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser
type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks
to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic
information for aggregate use. IP addresses are tied to personally identifiable information to enable our
Web-based service.
Sharing
Legal Disclaimer
Though we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required
by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial
proceeding, a court order or legal process served on our Web site.
Service Providers
For some services, we have to share contact information with other companies to provide specific services. An
example is domain registration where we have to provide valid contact information for your site.
Business Transitions
In the event DifferentHost goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another
company, or selling a portion of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most instances, be part of the
assets transferred.

privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the
privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy
statement applies solely to information collected by this Web site.
Security
We believe that protection and security of your information is one of our fundamental responsibities. Hence, we
limit access to personal information about you to staff we believe reasonably need to come into contact
with that information to provide products or services to you or in order to do their jobs. At DifferentHost, we
have procedural safeguards to protect personal information about you.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage,
and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it,
and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it.
If, however, we are going to use users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that
stated at the time of collection we will notify users by posting a notice on our Web site for 30 days
