Choosing a hosting provider is never easy and it seems to be risky when your site is at stake. We know that the availability of your site is of utmost importance and entrusting your website to IndiaLinks is something that we take seriously. That's why we have built the hosting industry's most aggressive Service Level Agreement (SLA) to cover the multiple components that keep your site up and running.
IndiaLinks' SLA is a contract between you, the customer, and IndiaLinks. It defines the terms of our responsibility and the money back guarantee if our responsibilities are not met. We want our customers to feel at ease with their decision to move their site to IndiaLinks, and knowing that IndiaLinks takes your site's uptime as seriously as you do is imperative.
IndiaLinks guarantees that the network will be available 99.9% of the time in a
given month (no more than 60 minutes downtime per month), excluding
scheduled maintenance. After 60 minutes, IndiaLinks will refund the
customer 5% of the monthly fee for each 60 minutes of downtime (up to
50% of customer's monthly fee).
Network uptime includes functioning
of all network infrastructure including routers, switches and cabling,
but does not include services or software running on server. Network
downtime exists when a particular customer is unable to transmit and
receive data and IndiaLinks records such failure in the IndiaLinks online
support system. Network downtime is measured from the time the ticket
is opened by a customer (In Online Support System) to the time the server
is once again able to transmit and receive data.
