Webnames.ca Hosting Service Level Agreement (SLA)

1. NETWORK UPTIME Service Uptime: Webnames.ca target uptime for the Service is 99.9% of the time in every calendar month, not including scheduled maintenance windows. Webnames.ca, multi-redundant network architecture is designed to permit operation without service degradation or Customer interruption in the case of maintenance or equipment failure.

2. Site Migration: Webnames.ca will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any Customer Website or email account downtime during the Easy Migration process. In some cases, file re-naming and folder structure modifications will be made to make the Customer Website and email accounts compatible with Webnames.ca’s systems and services. In the event of unforeseen incompatibility problems, Webnames.ca will either correct the problem or will cancel the website and email account migration, reverse the DNS back to the Customer’s existing service provider and issue a refund of any pre-paid fees for Hosting Services.

3. Maintenance Services: Webnames.ca will provide maintenance as long as this agreement is in effect without charge. Maintenance windows are scheduled at times which least impact our Customers based on minimal overall activity on the Webnames.ca web hosting systems which may vary from month to month.

4. Notwithstanding the preceding, Webnames.ca reserves the right, in its reasonable discretion, to perform any emergency work outside of any Maintenance Windows in order to keep the Webnames.ca System functioning in accordance with appropriate Service Levels. If advance notice has been provided, periods of time the Service is unavailable during Emergency maintenance windows will not be included in calculating the service levels actually achieved. Software and hardware failures resulting from a third party intrusion (i.e. denial of service attacks) are excluded from the uptime target. Private label DNS (domain name servers) require 3 DNS entries, the third of which is Webnames.ca generic DNS.

5. COLDFUSION – ASP: Please note ColdFusion (.cfm), ASP (.asp) services are hosted on a closed source platform, and are not part of the 99.9% uptime target.

6. ACCESS DATABASES: Access is not designed for, nor recommended for use on busy websites. We recommend using MySQL or MS-SQL for increased performance and reliability.

Webnames.ca Hosting is a Web Hosting Service owned and maintained by Webnames.ca Inc. For additional information regarding Webnames.ca’s terms of service, please contact hosting@webnames.ca.
