Hosting Service SLA


1. Server Uptime

We guarantee a monthly server uptime of 99.9%.

2. Definitions

2.1 Monthly Total Operating Time

Monthly Total Operating Time refers to the total time in a given month (from 00:00 on the 1st day to 23:59:59 on the last day) minus the time allocated for scheduled maintenance.

2.2 Total Downtime

Total Downtime refers to the total time during which the server is unavailable. The following times are excluded from this calculation:

  • Time during scheduled maintenance
  • Downtime due to issues that recover naturally within 5 minutes
  • Time misrepresented as downtime due to monitoring system errors

2.3 Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled Maintenance refers to planned downtime for server maintenance or upgrades that has been notified in advance. Generally, scheduled maintenance will be announced at least 24 hours in advance via email or on our website.

3. Monthly Uptime Calculation

Monthly Uptime = (Monthly Total Operating Time − Total Downtime) ÷ Monthly Total Operating Time × 100

4. Refunds

If the monthly uptime is less than 99.9%, we will issue a refund in the form of a credit on the following month’s hosting service fee, based on the following rates:

  • Monthly Uptime 99.0% or higher – less than 99.9%: 20%
