The state in which a user no longer has an active account or permissions within the xHOSTING system, in particular due to a violation of the rules, exclusion, or voluntary departure.
A data processing operation applied after the termination of a user account, during which personal data associated with the account are irreversibly deleted or anonymized, except where retention is required by law.
A warning representing the documented recording of a rule violation. The purpose of a WARN is to maintain community order and prevent further violations.
A Member who, upon fulfilling the conditions defined in this Policy, is entitled to provide another person with the opportunity to register in the xHOSTING system via invitation.
A person who accepts an invitation sent by an Inviter and registers in the xHOSTING system by providing the required information.
A user registered in the xHOSTING system with a valid invitation and holding an active account.
The totality of Members registered in the xHOSTING system, including the Operators.
The totality of hardware and software capacities of the servers and infrastructure providing xHOSTING services, including in particular processor, memory, storage, and bandwidth capacity.
A service level agreement representing a guaranteed level of operation provided by commercial service providers. The xHOSTING community system does not provide an SLA.
The order of allocation of resources and operator attention, which in the case of xHOSTING is determined exclusively by technical and community considerations and administrative decisions.
The availability of the system or a specific service within a defined period. In the case of xHOSTING, uptime is not guaranteed.
A voluntary contribution provided by a Member in an amount determined by the Member, intended to support the operation and development of the xHOSTING community system. A contribution does not constitute a service fee or consideration.
A Paid Service is any service used by a Member through xHOSTING under a separate legal relationship, in return for consideration.
The initiation of a Paid Service (such as placing a new order or initiating a new domain registration) is conditional upon registration in the xHOSTING system, i.e. Membership.
The continued use of existing Paid Services (such as maintaining an existing domain, access, and administration) remains available for the duration of the service even after Membership has terminated, subject to settlement of the applicable fees, potentially via a limited access channel (e.g. support ticket or email).
At present, Paid Services include in particular domain registration and domain-related administration.
A Free Service is any service provided by xHOSTING to Members on a community basis, without consideration, and whose use is conditional upon active community Membership.
At present, Free Services include in particular web hosting services and the associated technical resources.
The xHOSTING User Interface is the closed online system through which Members manage xHOSTING services, in particular registration, the use of Paid and Free Services, viewing service status, and accessing information related to community status.
xHOSTING is a closed, invitation-based community system that provides technical resources and related services to its Members on a non-commercial basis. The operation of xHOSTING is based on community contributions and is separate from Paid Services provided under a separate legal relationship for consideration.

2.1.6 – Consent logging and verifiability
xHOSTING records user consents related to cookie management in a technical log in order to be able to demonstrate the existence of such consent in the event of a legal or supervisory authority request.
During the logging process, the following data may be recorded:
• the time of consent;
• the status of the consent (necessary / analytics / marketing categories);
• the consent version identifier;
• technical metadata (domain, page path, browser type);
A cryptographic checksum (SHA-256 hash) is generated from the logged data, ensuring that the consent data package cannot be altered retroactively and that its integrity can be verified.
The consent logs do not contain user account identifiers, names, email addresses, or any other directly identifying personal data, and are used exclusively for legal compliance and audit purposes.
xHOSTING retains consent logs for a maximum period of 180 days, after which they are automatically and irreversibly deleted.
The handling and logging of consents are carried out in accordance with Articles 5, 6, and 7 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (GDPR).
The operator and legal details of xHOSTING are published under the Legal Notice (Imprint) section.
