Hosting Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Hosting Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Effective Date: 19/02/2026
Company: DaveeDeCoder (DDC)

1. Overview

This Hosting Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) describes the service availability targets and support commitments for hosting services provided by DaveeDeCoder (DDC).

This SLA applies only to active, paid hosting accounts in good standing.

2. Service Availability Commitment

DDC aims to provide 99% monthly uptime availability for hosting services.

Uptime is calculated monthly and excludes excluded events listed in Section 5.

This is a target objective and not a guaranteed service commitment.

3. Definition of Uptime

“Uptime” means the hosting server is operational and accessible via HTTP/HTTPS requests.

“Downtime” means complete inaccessibility of hosted services due to server-side issues under our control.

4. Monitoring

Server availability is monitored internally using automated tools.

Downtime must be reported to support within 48 hours of occurrence to qualify for review.

5. Excluded Downtime (Not Counted)

The following events are excluded from uptime calculations:

Scheduled maintenance (with notice where possible)

Emergency security patches

Third-party infrastructure issues

Cloud provider outages

DNS propagation delays

Client-side misconfigurations

Application-level bugs

Excessive resource usage by client

Force majeure events (natural disasters, war, government actions)

Suspension due to Acceptable Use Policy violation

6. Maintenance Windows

Scheduled maintenance may occur periodically to:

Apply security updates

Upgrade server software

Improve performance

Where possible, advance notice will be provided.

7. Support Response Times

Support is provided according to the hosting package.

Standard Hosting Support

Initial response time: within 24–48 hours

Business days only

Priority Support (if applicable)

Initial response time: within 12–24 hours

Response time refers to first acknowledgment, not full resolution.

8. Service Credits

If uptime falls below 99% in a given month due solely to server-side issues under our direct control, customers may request service credit.

Service credits are:

Applied to future hosting invoices only

Not refundable as cash

Limited to a maximum of one month of hosting fees

Credit requests must be submitted within 7 days after the affected month.

9. No Guarantee of Continuous Service

While we strive for reliable service, DDC does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free hosting.

All services are provided on a commercially reasonable effort basis.

10. Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for:

Maintaining secure passwords

Keeping applications updated

Backing up website data

Monitoring website functionality

Ensuring scripts are properly configured

Failure to maintain security may void SLA considerations.

11. Backups

Unless explicitly included in your hosting plan:

Customers are responsible for maintaining independent backups.

DDC is not liable for data loss.

Backup restoration, if available, may incur additional fees.

12. Suspension & Termination

This SLA does not apply to accounts suspended due to:

Non-payment

AUP violations

Security abuse

Legal investigations

13. Modifications

DDC reserves the right to modify this SLA at any time.

Continued use of hosting services constitutes acceptance of any updates.
