99.5% Server Up-time:

We have an excellent record but you can never guarantee that you will be up 100% of the time. Up-time is defined as the percentage of time the Server is running and capable of responding via its Ethernet port, excluding any scheduled downtime whether notified or not.
This guarantee applies to hardware and network SLA only. The Server availability guarantee does not include downtime that is out of our control, including but not limited to: upstream network outages, internet backbone congestion or outages caused by acts of god.
