99.9% Uptime SLA

Our Service Level Agreement includes a 99.9% uptime guarantee. This means if we do not achieve 99.9% uptime in a particular month, we will credit your account with an amount equal to the downtime that you experienced. In reality, our uptime has been much better than 99.9% - for example in the first quarter of of 2006, our uptime was 99.988 % (there was a scheduled 15min maintenance of one of our servers).


30-day Money Back Guarantee

We have confidence in our technology and our support. So, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee on our hosting fees. If you are not satisfied with your Xen host in the first month of service, you can cancel your account and receive all your money back! For further information, see our refund & return policy.

Free Server Monitoring

Each of our Xen servers comes with Free Health Monitoring - meaning that you can relax in the knowledge that if anything bad happens to your server you will be notified automatically. Each server is pinged . every 5 minutes to produce MRTG uptime graphs. You can also set up monitoring of particular service ports (HTTP, SMTP etc) and be alerted by email or SMS message if a particular service fails to respond.
