2 Choosing the right level of support for your server. We re here to look after your servers, so you can focus on growing your business. This guide will explain the levels of support available with your cloud and dedicated servers, to ensure that you get the right level of cover from Melbourne. Service Level Agreements We re committed to providing excellent service availability. For your peace of mind, we provide clear service level agreements (SLAs). These SLAs apply to all servers and help you understand what to expect from us. Power Availability - 100% SLA We provide a 100% SLA on power. This means that 100% of the time, your server will be connected to power. We ve put in place a multi- layer power plan to make sure we meet this commitment. In the extremely unlikely event that we re unable to meet this target, we ll refund a portion of your monthly bill at the rate of 5% for every additional 15 minutes of downtime. Network Connectivity % SLA We provide a 99.95% uptime SLA on network connectivity. This means that 99.95% of the time, your server will be reachable from the outside world and not just from within our datacentres. Most hosting companies guarantee availability of just their own network. Our SLA covers more than that: our reliable network uses multiple providers to automatically provide alternative routes in the event of congestion or turbulence. In the unlikely event that we re unable to meet this target, we ll refund a portion of your monthly bill at the rate of 5% for every additional 15 minutes of downtime. Hardware Failures Fixed in 1 Hour In the unlikely event that your managed server s critical hardware fails, to the extent that it is not able to perform its critical duties, we will fix the fault or provide an alternative server, within 1 hour of the fault developing (or 2 hours after we ve been notified for self-managed servers). In the event that time taken to resolve the hardware failure exceeds 1 or 2 hours, for any individual incident, a service credit will be made. One full day s credit will be given for each hour of downtime beyond the 1 or 2 hours allowable, up to a maximum credit of 100% of the month s service fees.
