Fpweb.net SLA

Because availability is paramount to your mission-critical hosting environment, our Service Level Agreement (SLA) is designed to protect customers against unscheduled outages. Only a specialist can offer the most uncompromising SLA in the hosting industry, guaranteeing maximum uptime and free Rapid Hardware Replacement. The SLA provides unsurpassed levels of availability with correspondingly aggressive penalties for failure to comply with the SLA.

Maximum Uptime Network
Fpweb.net guarantees that its network will be available 100% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. Upon experiencing downtime, Fpweb.net will refund the customer 20% of the monthly fee for each 3 hours of downtime (up to 100% of customer's monthly fee for the affected server). Network uptime includes functioning of all network infrastructure including routers, switches and cabling, but does not include services or software running on your server. Network downtime exists when a particular customer is unable to transmit and receive data and is measured from the time the trouble ticket is opened.

Upon experiencing downtime, Fpweb will refund the customer 20% of the monthly fee for each 3 hours of downtime (up to 100% of customer's monthly fee for the affected server). Critical infrastructure includes functioning of all power and HVAC infrastructure including UPSs, PDUs and cabling, but does not include the power supplies on customers' servers.
