Service Level Agreement
Our commitment to keeping your services online and reliable
SLA Overview
This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") describes the levels of service that EGPHP commits to provide to its customers for all paid hosting services. This SLA forms part of our Terms of Service.
We understand that your online presence is critical to your business. That's why we guarantee 99.9% network uptime for all our hosting infrastructure, backed by a transparent compensation policy.
Services Covered
This SLA applies to the following EGPHP services:
Uptime Commitment
EGPHP guarantees 99.9% monthly uptime for network availability. This translates to a maximum of approximately 43 minutes of unplanned downtime per month.
How We Calculate Uptime
Uptime percentage is calculated as: ((Total minutes in month - Downtime minutes) / Total minutes in month) x 100
We measure uptime from our network monitoring systems and data center infrastructure. The 99.9% guarantee covers:
- Network connectivity and routing
- Server hardware availability
- Core infrastructure services (DNS, load balancers)
- Power and cooling systems
Service Credit Compensation
If we fail to meet our uptime guarantee, you may be eligible for service credits as outlined below:
| Monthly Uptime | Service Credit |
|---|---|
| 99.0% - 99.9% | 10% of monthly fee |
| 98.0% - 99.0% | 25% of monthly fee |
| 95.0% - 98.0% | 50% of monthly fee |
| Below 95.0% | 100% of monthly fee |
