Downtime

We strive to offer a 99.9% network and server uptime service level. This uptime percentage is a monthly figure, and is calculated solely by our monitoring systems or authorised/contracted outside monitoring services. If we fail to meet our 99.9% uptime guarantee, we will inform you of the efforts and delays as soon as possible. We do not credit any service fee for downtime. This would not be financially viable for us, and in turn would only negatively affect the service level we provide to you.
