Uptime
policy:
Cpanelhosting.Com and it suppliers strive to
maintain a 99.9% network and server uptime service
level. This uptime percentage is a monthly figure,
and is is calculated solely by Cpanelhosting.Com
monitoring systems. If Cpanelhosting.Com fails to
meet it's 99.9% uptime guarantee, and it is not due
to one of the exceptions below, credits will be made
available to each client, upon request, on a case by
case basis. "Partial refunds for downtime" is our
standard policy. In extreme circumstances,
Cpanelhosting.Com may distribute full month credits,
but this is dealt with on a case by case basis.
Details on how credit amounts are calculated can be
found below.
Exclusions:
Customer shall not receive any credits under this
policy in connection with any failure or deficiency
of the Cpanelhosting.Com network caused by or
associated with:
- Circumstances beyond reasonable control,
including, without limitation, acts of any
governmental body, war, insurrection, sabotage,
embargo, "Acts of God" (i.e....fire, flood,
earthquake, tornado, etc...), strike or other
labor disturbance, interruption of or delay in
transportation, unavailability of or
interruption or delay in telecommunications or
third party services, failure of third party
software or inability to obtain raw materials,
supplies, or power used in or equipment needed
for provision of the Service Level Agreement
- Telco Failure
- Backbone peering point issues
- Scheduled maintenance for hardware/software
upgrades
- Hardware failure (faulty hardware is rare, but
cannot be predicted nor avoided).
Cpanelhosting.Com utilizes only name brand
hardware of the highest quality and performance.
- Software bugs/flaws
- DNS issues not within the direct control of
Cpanelhosting.Com
- Network floods, hacks, attacks from outside
parties or individuals
- Failure or error of any Cpanelhosting.Com
monitoring or measurement system

Guidelines (TOS), by Client or others authorized

Latency:
Cpanelhosting.Com's goal is to make the
Cpanelhosting.Com network available to Client free
of outages for 99.9% of the time. An "outage” is
defined as an instance in which Client is unable to
transmit and receive IP packets due to a
Cpanelhosting.Com service failure for more than 15
consecutive minutes, excluding service failures
relating to Cpanelhosting.Com's scheduled
maintenance and upgrades. The Cpanelhosting.Com
network does not include client premises, equipment
or any Telco access facilities connecting Client's
premises to such infrastructure. Cpanelhosting.Com's
goal is to keep Average Round-Trip Latency on the
Cpanelhosting.Com network to 85 milliseconds or
less. Cpanelhosting.Com defines “Average Round-Trip
Latency”, with respect to a given month, as the
average time required for round-trip packet
transfers between the Cpanelhosting.Com network and
major USA backbone peering points during such month,
as measured by Cpanelhosting.Com.
Cpanelhosting.Com's goal is to keep Average Packet
Loss on the Cpanelhosting.Com network to 1% or less.
Cpanelhosting.Com defines “Average Packet Loss”,
with respect to a given month, as the average
percentage of IP packets transmitted on the
Cpanelhosting.Com network during such month that are
not successfully delivered, as measured by
Cpanelhosting.Com.
Monitoring:
Cpanelhosting.Com will periodically (on average
every 5 minutes) monitor Cpanelhosting.Com network
and server availability using software and hardware
components capable of measuring application traffic
and responses. Client acknowledges that that such
measurements may not measure the exact path
traversed by Client’s internet connection, and that
such measurements constitute measurements across the
Cpanelhosting.Com network but not other networks to
which Client may connect. Cpanelhosting.Com reserves
the right to periodically change the measurement
points and methodologies it uses without notice to
Client.
Internal Failure:
Cpanelhosting.Com stands behind all equipment on our
network. Faulty hardware is rare, but cannot be
predicted nor avoided. Cpanelhosting.Com utilizes
only name brand hardware of the highest quality and
performance. Cpanelhosting.Com will replace all
faulty hardware affecting performance levels of
equipment within 48 hours, which includes hardware
issues that cause server crashes or speed issues.
Hardware failure resulting in complete
network/server outage/downtime will be corrected
within two hours of problem identification. Router
failure is an exception to this policy guarantee,
and may require on-site Juniper™ engineers or
backbone provider emergency personnel to correct the
problem. Router failure is governed by current
Cpanelhosting.Com and suppliers contracts with
Juniper™ and backbone providers in regard to the
emergency repair service in case of such an issue.
Cpanelhosting.Com will replace all faulty hardware
on dedicated servers (rented or leased servers), at
no charge to the Client, with an unlimited free
replacement policy. This includes parts ordered as
upgrades. Cpanelhosting.Com will replace all faulty
hardware on all non-purchased dedicated equipment,
at no charge to the Client, unless equipment has
been tampered with, or damage is caused by direct
neglect/action(s) of Client.
Claims:
Credit requests must be made by fax to our published
fax number. Each request in connection with
network/server outages/downtime must be received by
Cpanelhosting.Com within five days of the
occurrence. Each request in connection with Average
Round-Trip Latency or Average Packet Loss in a
calendar month must be received by Cpanelhosting.Com
within five days after the end of such month. The
total amount credited to a Client for
Cpanelhosting.Com not meeting policy service levels
will not exceed the service fees paid by Client
Cpanelhosting.Com for such services for the period
in question. Each validly requested credit will be
applied to a Client invoice within 30 days after
Cpanelhosting.Com's receipt of such request. Credits
are exclusive of any applicable taxes charged to
Client or collected by Cpanelhosting.Com. Upon
Client’s request (in accordance with the procedure
set forth below), Cpanelhosting.Com will issue a
credit to Client for network/server outages/downtime
occurring during any calendar month that are
reported by Client to Cpanelhosting.Com and
confirmed by Cpanelhosting.Com's measurement
reporting. Such credit will be equal to one percent
(1%) of the monthly fees paid by Client, (for all
service fees paid if network outage, or specific
affected service fees paid if individual server
downtime) multiplied by each hour (or portion
thereof) of the cumulative duration of such
outage/downtime. If Average Round-Trip Latency on
the Cpanelhosting.Com network for a calendar month
exceeds 85 milliseconds, then upon Client's request,
Cpanelhosting.Com will issue a credit to Client
equal to six day's worth (1/5th) of the monthly
service fees paid by Client for such month. If
Average Packet Loss exceeds 1% during a calendar
month, then upon Client’s request, Cpanelhosting.Com
will issue a credit to Client equal to six day's
worth (1/5th) of the monthly service fees paid by
Client for such month.
Additionally:
Cpanelhosting.Com reserves the right to change or
modify this policy to benefit the Client, and will
post changes to location currently hosting this
policy at time of modification, which will be made
available to Client. Except as set forth in this
policy, Cpanelhosting.Com makes no claims regarding
the availability or performance of the
Cpanelhosting.Com network or servers. Specific
terms/points of this policy may be adjusted on a
case by case basis by the specific Service Agreement
signed/agreed by client. In case of difference
terms/points in policy and Service Agreement, the
Service Agreement terms/points prevail over this
general policy policy. The Service Agreement
signed/agreed by client, is above and beyond this
policy, and Service Agreement terms are in affect,
including, but not limited to, limitations of
liability
