PHPCow LLC understands the importance of network availability to our customers. Thus we are making commitments to our customers in the form of a Service Level Agreement (SLA). We have developed the following SLA to ensure maximum performance and uptime.
Network Uptime
PHPCow LLC guarantees that the network will be available 99.5% of the time in a given month, excluding scheduled maintenance. If Network Availability does not meet our 99.5% uptime guarantee, credits will be made available to each client on a case by case basis, not to exceed 50% of their base monthly fee. Network uptime includes all network infrastructure including routers and switches but does not include services or software running on the client's server. Network downtime exists when a particular customer is unable to send or receive data from a server and such failure is recorded in our Trouble Ticket System up until the server is able to send and receive data again, as confirmed by PHPCow LLC's own monitoring systems.
