Welcome to Silvertree Communications! We believe that people have the right to

Tiers of Service
Please note that new accounts will not be issued at this time
One time set up fee of 50 USD per domain (no monthly)
Configure domain with registrar to use ns1.silvertree.org as primary nameserver.
MUSH Server
As the Hosting account but with permission to run a single MUSH server and related processes.
Starting disk quota is 100MB instead of 50 (more quota can be granted if needed at no charge, subject to change)
User bears the responsbility for maintaining the MUSH (compiling, configuring, backup of the database, etc).
Server admins prefer to have a wizard account in order to shut down your game if necessary for system shutdowns/restarts (depends on MUSH version). If no wizard account is provided, Silvertree bears no responsibility for data loss or corruption in the event of a system shutdown, planned or unplanned.
Data Backups
Data is backed up hourly via rsync to a local backup volume and daily to a RAID 5 NAS device. Home directories are backed up every 15 minutes via rsync to a local backup volume.
