virtual server hosting

We are pleased to offer a 100% uptime guarantee. If for some reason your server is offline, we will issue a pro-rated refund to your hosting account as a future credit to future hosting services for the actual amount of time offline. The following exclusions apply:

  • If your service is disabled for breach of contract, or non-payment of hosting services, there is no refund for downtime
  • Scheduled Maintenance periods for which we notified you at least 24 hours in advance via e-mail sent to the technical contact e-mail address on your account with us, there is no refund for downtime
  • The only ports that apply are Port 21, 22, 25, 5190, 80, 110, 143 and 443. Downtime is considered whereby all ports are non-responsive. If just a single port is non-responsive, then there is no refund for downtime
  • If customer has intentionally brought the server offline by removing configurations on the server, deleting configuration files, or any other malicious action to prevent the server from operating, then there is no refund for downtime.

Downtime is based upon the server itself being offline, which means none of the ports are responding to requests. A Domain Name Registration, or not being able to access your server because your domain name has expired with your registrar, even if we are that registrar, does not equate to a server being offline as you can still access the server on all ports using your temporary domain, or IP Address.

A pro-rate refund is calculated based upon the actual time offline in increments of 15 Minutes. If a server is offline for 2 minutes, we will pro-rate a refund for a minimum of 15 minutes offline to your account as a credit towards future invoices.

The Credit must be requested by the customer. There may be instances where a server burped, and this is the nature of hardware. Offline time may have been 30 seconds. We do not activlye monitor burps and issues credits based upon burps. If a burp occurs, we will be able to check the logs to see if there was any downtime, but you will need to make that request to us. The request needs to include the following:

Your Customer Number:
Your User ID:
Your Name:
The Date and Time you saw a downtime:

We will then investigate the downtime, and if the server was offline with exception to the exclusions above, we will issue the credit to your account.

This Uptime Guarantee is a Pilot Program, and is subject to change or removal.
