Terms of Service

Effective: July 16, 2026

These Terms govern your use of Host Little (“Host Little”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account, starting a checkout, or using the service, you agree to them. If you use the service for an organization, you confirm that you can bind that organization. Our Privacy Notice and, where applicable, Data Processing Addendum are part of these Terms.

Your account

You're responsible for what happens on your account, and for using it within the acceptable-use rules below. Authentication is by magic link to your email — keep that inbox secure.

Acceptable use

To keep the platform fast and safe for everyone, you may not use Host Little to:

  • host or distribute content that's illegal where you live or where we operate;
  • send bulk unsolicited email (spam), phishing, or malware;
  • run crypto-mining, or otherwise abuse compute, storage, or bandwidth in ways that degrade service for other tenants on shared hardware;
  • attack, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to other systems or accounts;
  • use Host Little as a raw CDN, file locker, or video re-streaming origin — hosting is for your sites and apps, not bulk file distribution. We monitor bandwidth patterns and will contact you (then cap) if traffic looks like distribution rather than hosting;
  • resell raw infrastructure in a way that circumvents plan limits, or knowingly evade abuse controls.
  • host material that exploits or endangers children, or violates another person's intellectual-property or privacy rights.

If we see resource use that's degrading neighbors, we'll reach out before acting where we can. Clear abuse (the items above) we may suspend right away to protect the rest of the platform.

Billing

Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually through our payment processor. Plan prices are flat; the only usage-based items are the ones published on the pricing page, and every account has a monthly usage spend cap — when usage reaches your cap we pause the usage-priced service rather than billing past it. You can ask support to change your cap; we never raise it without your request. You can cancel anytime from the portal; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Outside the money-back window below, refunds are handled case-by-case — if something was broken on our side, email us.

Stored data and unpaid invoices: if an invoice remains unpaid for 30 days, we may delete stored data associated with the account (sites, databases, object files, backups) after notice to your account email. Export is always available before that deadline.

Your content

You retain your rights in the content you host. You grant us the limited rights needed to host, transmit, secure, troubleshoot, back up, and support that content. You are responsible for your content, your application's privacy notices, permissions, and compliance obligations. Do not place regulated, highly sensitive, or high-risk data in the service unless we have expressly agreed to the relevant scope in writing.

30-day money-back guarantee

New accounts get 30 days to decide. If you cancel within 30 days of your initial signup, you get your first payment back (less any unbilled usage-priced services) — self-serve from the billing portal once your account is at least a week old; younger accounts email support and we handle it by hand, same guarantee. After 30 days the standard case-by-case policy above applies.

Service

We target high availability and monitor sites continuously, but we don't publish a signed SLA (see Security). If we ever terminate service for cause, we'll give you 30 days to export your data.

Leaving Host Little — your data, your exit

Your data is yours. No lock-in, no exit fees. You can take it with you at any time, on any plan:

  • WordPress: a standard WordPress export plus your database — the same formats any host accepts.
  • Other hosted projects, where approved: standard files and database exports.

Today this is a self-serve export request from the portal, and we'll provide the dump (and help you move it if you want). We're honest that it's a request flow, not a one-click instant download yet. Either way, leaving is your call and nothing about the format ties you to us.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or limit access when reasonably necessary to protect the platform, investigate abuse, comply with law, or respond to a material Terms violation. We will give notice where practical. Either party may terminate for a material breach that is not cured within a reasonable time, except that we may act immediately for clear abuse, security risk, or legal necessity.

Warranty & liability

Host Little is provided “as is”. We work hard to keep it running and we say so plainly when something breaks, but we don't make guarantees beyond what's written here, and we don't publish a signed SLA. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim is capped at what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, and we're not liable for indirect or consequential losses (lost profits, lost data you didn't keep your own copy of, and the like). Some places don't allow these limits, so parts may not apply to you.

Indemnity

To the extent allowed by law, you will defend and indemnify Host Little from third-party claims arising from your content, your use of the service in violation of these Terms, or your violation of another person's rights. This does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by Host Little's own breach of these Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois, and you and Host Little consent to that venue.

Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced by email or in the portal at least 14 days before they take effect, unless a shorter notice is needed for security, legal compliance, or abuse prevention. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the updated Terms.
