Service Level Agreement (SLA):

Effective Date:
This Service Level Agreement was last updated on March 1st, 2022.

VPS / Cloud VPS / Dedicated Server Hosting SLA

100% Network Uptime
RSHosting guarantees network availability for our public Internet network to be 100%. In the event that our network does not experience 100% network uptime in a given month, RSHosting will refund 5% of the customer’s monthly service fees for those servers affected, for each 30 minutes of network downtime experienced up to 100% of the monthly service fees for those servers affected.

1 Hour Hardware Replacement Guarantee
RSHosting guarantees to replace any failed server hardware components provided by RSHosting at no cost to the client within one hour of problem identification. In the event that it takes RSHosting longer than one hour to replace any failed hardware component after problem identification, RSHosting will refund the customer 5% of the monthly service fees for each 60 minutes of downtime up to 100% of client’s monthly service fees for the affected server.

99.9% Managed VPS and Cloud VPS Uptime SLA
RSHosting’s goal is to maintain 99.9% uptime on all of our VPS and Cloud VPS hardware nodes. 99.9% VPS Uptime guarantee is counted on per month basis here at RShosting.com. In the event that a VPS or Hybrid hardware node does not experience 99.9% uptime in a given month, you are eligible for a prorated credit equal to twice the amount of time that the VPS or Cloud VPS node was down for.

Service Level Guarantee uptime is monitored on a rolling monthly basis.

The maximum credit you can claim will not exceed the monthly bill for the server.

Any scheduled downtime of the VPS/Cloud VPS node for hardware or software maintenance will not apply towards this downtime calculation. The SLA does not apply to any software or services running inside Client’s virtual machine server, nor to the Client’s virtual machine server directly. It is only for downtime caused by issues with the hardware node itself. The SLA does not apply in any situation which the downtime was caused or could have been prevented by the Client. For example, if a VPS hardware node is down because of a filesystem check (fsck) causing a client’s VPS to be offline, the SLA would apply. If a client shuts down their own VPS or mis-configures it to be offline, the SLA would not apply. If the hardware node is online and functioning properly then the SLA will not apply in any case.

Terms
All SLA claims must be filed by opening a helpdesk ticket through our client portal within 7 days of the incident. The helpdesk ticket must include all relevant information including server name, IP address, full description of the incident and any logs (if applicable). All SLA credits will be issued as service credits against future invoices.
Network downtime is measured from the time the network is 100% unreachable until connectivity has been restored. Any scheduled downtime or network maintenance will not apply towards this downtime calculation. The 100% Network Uptime guarantee does not apply to any software or services running on a client’s server, nor to any hardware within a client’s server.

The 1 Hour Hardware Replacement Guarantee does not apply to replacing a failed disk drive that is in RAID so long as the other RAID disk(s) are functioning properly. The guarantee also does not apply to any time required to rebuild a RAID disk array or the time required to restore or reload any software or data to the affected server.
Clients currently in arrears for services do not qualify for SLA claims. Clients participating in malicious or aggressive activities thereby causing attacks or counterattacks, do not qualify for SLA claims and shall be in violation of the AUP.

Payment Policies, Fees, Refunds and Terms of Agreement
Full payment is required before any hosting service is rendered, which includes renewals. All payment-due notices will be sent by electronic mail. No bills or invoices will be sent by postal mail or fax. Prepayment is due each anniversary (monthly, quarterly or annually) following the date the account was established. Billing will continue until you cancel your hosting account. As a policy, we do not offer credits or refunds for hosting time already expended. RSHosting reserves the right to terminate data for suspended accounts, without any further notice; that have overdue invoices.

If cancellation is done by RSHosting due to restrictions violation, there will be no refund. RSHosting.com will only allow for the discount if cancellation is not the fault of the client, as determined by RSHosting.com. Additional features can be added at any time. Monthly feature prices are not prorated. RSHosting.com reserves the right to change prices at any time.

RSHosting.com offers 30 days money back guarantee. Only first-time accounts are eligible for a refund. The 30 day money back guarantee is available only for shared, reseller and VPS web hosting packages; where you as a customer you will be given a refund of the amount paid for hosting minus the respective “setup fee” for Shared/Reseller and VPS Hosting.

There will be no refund or any money back guarantee for domain registrations, domain transfers, cPanel or Plesk licenses, WHMCS licenses (which were purchased or included as FREE along with Shared Hosting, Reseller Hosting, VPS or Dedicated server), Dedicated server packages or SSL certificates.

SSL certificates issued free of charge because it was part of your package can be used only on RSHosting servers. The SSL cert will be revoked if the hosting account is canceled unless the customer begins paying for the certificate at our advertised prices.

SSL Certificates & Free domains can only be received after successful payment and after our 30 day money back guarantee period has ended. Requesting for FREE SSL or Domain name, before money back guarantee will void money back guarantee.

By signing to our services, you agree to our “Terms of Service”. Accounts violating our “Terms of Service” by incidences such as spamming or running illegal or suspicious activity, will not be eligible for any kind of refunds.

Uptime Guarantee:
If your shared / reseller server has a physical downtime that is not within the 99.9% uptime you may receive one month of credit on your account. Approval of the credit is at the discretion of RSHosting.com dependent upon justification provided. Third party monitoring service reports may not be used for justification due to a variety of factors including the monitor’s network capacity/transit availability. The uptime of the server is defined as the reported uptime from the operating system and the Apache Web Server which may differ from the uptime reported by other individual services. To request a credit, please contact [email protected] with justification. All requests must be made in writing via email. Uptime guarantees only apply to shared / reseller solutions. Dedicated servers are covered by a network guarantee in which the credit is prorated for the amount of time the server is down which is not related to our uptime guarantee. The total credit applicable would never be more than one month’s hosting charges paid by the customer at any time and for whatever reason.

Account Cancellation

If you wish to cancel your account, you need to login to your RSHosting billing portal and cancel your service before your renewal date.

Assuming that not paying due invoice will cancel your service, will result in renewal of your active service and there will not be any kind of refund offered for any such renewal processed.

To cancel your account, you need to submit a cancellation request by logging to your client portal. Please find example screenshot of one such cancellation request attempt below : 

Cancellation requests submitted via live chat, phone call or via support ticket will not be considered and your account will continue to charge if no cancellation request is submitted from client portal. Notification of cancellation must be received at least 15 business days prior to your billing cycle date, with the billing cycle date being the day of the month you sign up, in order to avoid charges in full for the next cycle. 

If Client has a balance due at the time of cancellation, this balance must be paid in full. Cancellation does not absolve Client of any outstanding financial obligations.

MySQL Database Disk Usage
We at RShosting offer unlimited MYSQL or MsSQL databases along with our shared and reseller web hosting plans. However we limit the TOTAL disk usage for ALL mysql or mssql databases per account to 1 GB. This is to avoid one particular account from filling up our disk space (where databases are hosted) and using up the disk space. You can have as many database under your account, unless the total disk space used by all databases do not exceed 1GB limit.

Traffic Policy
RSHosting.com allows for very generous traffic, and most sites never exceed 500MB per month, unless they offer shareware, sound, video, image and multimedia archives, are mirror sites or any site whose primary purpose is file distribution. RSHosting.com customers are discouraged from storing any files that cause excessive traffic on RSHosting.com servers. Please contact RSHosting.com Technical Support team for more information. Again, 99% of the sites do not fall into this category and never reach our traffic limits.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason not prohibited by law. Also we reserve the right to terminate service to any customer for any reason not prohibited by law.

Any deliberate attempt to cause damage to RSHosting.com or any other Internet servers will result in immediate account deactivation without prior notice. No refund is given in this case.

All account plans come with a predetermined amount of traffic allowance. We monitor all accounts and bill £1.50 for each gig of traffic exceeded. You will NOT be charged for transfer that you use beyond our generous data transfer limits without prior notification. You can monitor your transfer at anytime in your Control Panel.

Commission amounts earned for less than £/$100 (for example, 1 sale for £/$50) will remain pending until the full £/$100 minimum balance has been earned. All sales still pending due to the minimum payment threshold must remain active and in good standing according to our TOS requirements in order to be eligible for payment. Sales that are found not to be valid according to our TOS requirements at the time of the additional sale and earnings will be marked as invalid and not payable. Therefore there will be the requirement that 2 sales, or £/$100 in minimum earnings be valid according to our sale requirements listed in our TOS in order for payment to be sent.
There is a £/$100 minimum threshold for Commission Fees. If You do not meet the minimum threshold of £/$100 within 180 days after the end of the month in which a Qualified Purchase was properly completed, commission payments will be forfeited and Your commission balance will revert to $0.

If RSHosting.com does not receive the necessary tax or payment information within 120 days of a Commission Fee being earned, RSHosting.com will consider that Commission Fee to be forfeited by the Affiliate, and no payment will be issued. Each Affiliate is required to submit a W8/W9 tax form before RSHosting.com will issue any Commission Fees.You are responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the commissions you earn under this Agreement.
