Question

Hi I looked around on Google and this site for about the last hour and I couldn't find anything that gave a direct answer to my question. I changed the code around in a scanner that I used in the past, I've used other web hosts in the past to create my websites for testing, but this time I wanted to use WordPress for hosting. I wanted to know if anyone else has ever tested scripts or ran scanners against their own WordPress site and haven't gotten into legal trouble. The other hosts that I have used in the past didn't mind but I'm trying to figure out if it breaks any tos even if I am the owner of the site but wordpress would be hosting it. Just trying to see if anyone on here knows WordPress's Legal TOS well. Tried to write the question the best I could.

I'm fine with a short or long answer

Explanation / Answer

I've used several scanners against my own web servers, both VPS and shared hosting. With shared hosting I informed the hosting company because it "could" create some traffic.

Als long as you have a go from the hosting party you should be fine. Regarding the VPS, I never informed them as the IP's are specifically for me.

Hope this helps.
