Inkhost

Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated 11 September 2026

Blogs published with Inkhost are served from our domains and their newsletters go out over shared sending infrastructure. One blog spamming or hosting malware costs every other customer their deliverability and their domain reputation. This policy exists to protect them, and it is part of the Terms of Service.

Content you must not publish

  • Material that is unlawful where you are or where we operate, or that promotes or facilitates unlawful activity.
  • Child sexual abuse material, or any sexual content involving minors. We report this to the authorities without notice.
  • Content that incites violence, or that attacks people on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, caste, disability, sex, gender identity or sexual orientation.
  • Harassment of a specific person, doxxing, or non-consensual intimate imagery.
  • Material that infringes copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights you do not hold.
  • Malware, phishing pages, credential harvesters, or content that impersonates a real organisation or person to deceive.
  • Fraudulent commercial schemes, counterfeit goods, or fabricated reviews and testimonials presented as genuine.

Email rules

These are not negotiable, because breaking them harms other customers directly.

  • Mail only people who asked. Every subscription on Inkhost is double opt-in and you must not bypass that by importing a list the recipients did not knowingly join.
  • Do not buy, rent, scrape or trade email addresses.
  • Do not remove, obscure or break the unsubscribe link, and do not mail an address after it unsubscribes.
  • Do not attempt to re-mail an address on the suppression list after a hard bounce or a spam complaint.
  • Do not falsify the sender, reply-to or subject line to disguise what a message is.

Sustained high complaint or bounce rates will get a blog’s sending paused whether or not any individual rule was broken.

Technical limits

  • Do not probe, scan or test the security of the service except as described on the security page.
  • Do not attempt to access another customer’s blog, data or account.
  • Do not circumvent rate limits, share API keys publicly, or automate the interface to generate load the API is there to serve.
  • Do not use Inkhost primarily as file storage, a proxy, or a content delivery network for material unrelated to a blog.
  • Do not use the AI features to mass-produce content whose purpose is to manipulate search rankings rather than to be read.

What happens if a blog breaks this

Depending on what happened and how urgent it is, we may ask you to fix it, unpublish a post, pause a blog’s email sending, suspend the blog, or terminate the account. Where the breach is not serious or urgent we will contact you first and give you a chance to put it right.

For illegal content, active phishing or malware, we act immediately and notify afterwards.

Reporting abuse

To report a blog hosted on Inkhost, email hello@inkhost.app with the URL and what is wrong with it. Security issues in the platform itself go to security@inkhost.app.
