Supported Operating Systems LogosDOWNLOADABLE, ONE-TIME COST, NO SUBSCRIPTION FEES
The Managed Hosting Service Level Agreement (SLA) is an agreement for providing web hosting services to your client. This agreement covers connectivity and hardware availability and uptimes, replacement guarantees, support packages and general terms and conditions. Special attention is paid to separating out company liability for hardware versus responsibility for restoring a particular customer environment. It is important for hosting companies to indemnify themselves against both direct and indirect loss or subsequent loss resulting from network downtime. This is important for web hosts whose client may be hosting many ecommerce or other transaction-based websites.
