Hardware:
1-800-HOSTING uses high quality
components for all hardware
leases. 100% of all hardware
components leased to the client,
as described in the Server Lease
Agreement, are guaranteed
against failure. In the event
any component fails,
1-800-HOSTING guarantees to
replace or repair the faulty
component and bring the server
back online within two (2) hours
from the time the faulty
component is identified. If
1-800-HOSTING fails to bring the
server back online within two
(2) hours of identification of
the failure, credit will be
issued to the customer for
twenty five (25) times the
actual downtime. Credit will be
calculated based on the
customer's current monthly lease
rate and will not exceed one
(1) full month of credit using
the formula: total minutes
outage, divided by the total
monthly lease rate (in cost per
minute), times twenty five
(25). Co-location customers are
ineligible for the hardware
clause of this SLA.
Software:
Please be advised that any 3rd
party applications which are
installed on Managed Servers,
may require 3rd party support.
This may be in the form of "per
incident support" or a "support
contract". Any additional cost
to support 3rd party
applications will be the
responsibility of you, the
client.
Network:
The 1-800-HOSTING network is
engineered to deliver the
highest level of network uptime
and availability. 1-800-HOSTING guarantees a
network uptime of 100%. Network downtime is
defined as 100% packet loss
occurring in the transmission of
data (packets) from the
customers leased server(s),
hosted on-site in the
1-800-HOSTING Data Center, to
the Internet backbone. In the
event network uptime is not
100%, credit will be issued
to the customer for twenty five
(25) times the actual downtime
exceeding the allowance. Credit
will be calculated based on the
customer's current monthly lease
rate, and will not exceed one
(1) full month of credit, using
the formula: total minutes
outage, divided by the total
monthly lease rate (in cost per
minute), times twenty five (25).
Any suspected downtime must be
reported to a 1-800-HOSTING via
email and
must be verified by at least two
(2) trace routes from
independent locations. Downtime
will be measured from the time
the outage is reported to a
1-800-HOSTING technician, to the
time the server is able to
transmit and receive data again.

inaccessibility of services due
to any network hardware,
services, or other Internet
utilities outside of the
1-800-HOSTING network, including
those utilities or network
services used by the customer to
access the internet. Third party
monitoring systems will not be
considered as valid proof of an

This guarantee does not include
incidents involving the
malicious activities of third
parties not bound by the Server
