With regard to the support of domain names for "virtual hosting" and "parking", several points of policy apply:

1. For all domains hosted at cscweb.net, the "Technical Contact" must list CSC in association with the domain records at the authoritative NIC.
2. CSC reserves the right to change nameservers when necessary, although this is by no means a frequent occurrence.
3. CSC reserves the right to refuse to host, register, or support domain names that it finds offensive or libelous. Judgement of what constitutes "offensive" or "libelous" shall be at the sole discretion of CSC .
4. CSC makes no attempt to exercise control over its customers' domains, and will not make modifications to administrative, billing, organization, or other associated records, without prior permission, except in cases of emergency or violation of this policy.
5. All domains registered with CSC 's nameservers must appear in our nameserver and billing records, and must be used for either "virtual hosting" or "parked" (sharing an existing virtual host).
6. Registering any domain to our nameservers without the intent of paying our fees or InterNIC's fees is expressly prohibited. Registering multiple domains with no intent of using those domains for service is forbidden. Anyone found to be "warehousing" domain names for resale or not in "good faith" will have their services terminated at our discretion, and we will InterNIC and advise them of the situation.
7. The use of any domain name that is considered offensive, defamatory, libelous or violative of any local, state, federal or international law including any violation of intellectual property, copyright, trademark, trade secret, misappropriation and anti-dilution laws is strictly prohibited. It is the sole responsibility of the domain name owner to take all steps necessary to ensure that the domain name selected is not violative of any law or any other party's rights.
8. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CSC from any and all liability, penalties, losses, damages, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, causes of action or claims caused by or resulting from your registration, acquisition or use of a domain name which damages either you, CSC or any other party or parties, without limitation or exception.
9. CSC reserves the right to arbitrarily and without prior notice withdraw the usage of any "sub-domain" ending in .cscweb.net if, in its sole discretion, the content or presentation of the site is detrimental to or inappropriate for CSC due to the appearance of .cscweb.net in the site name. Examples include any site that attempts to represent itself as an official CSC site, sites promoting adult material, sites promoting questionable business opportunities, etc.

Other Information

We are strongly opposed to anyone collecting large numbers of domain names and selling them off. It's fine if you require several domains for a future project; if you are registering hundreds of names just because they're combinations of words, or because you think someone might want the names from you in the future, you will have to find another provider to register with.
