What isn't covered

We like to be clear on what our SLA does and doesn’t cover so here are are of the things our SLA does not cover. Unless explicitly agreed any downtime relating to customer responsible software such as Content Management Systems, Plugins, Hacked Websites and customer maintained Operating Systems or Planned Downtime are not covered by our SLA. We take nightly backups of all virtual machines in our infrastructure for a minimum of 7 days. This is for our own Disaster Recovery use. Customers should regularly back their websites up. If you require the use of our backups this can be arranged but there is a charge for this service.

Credit Requests

In the unlikely event you do need to make a credit request, IP6net customers should contact the helpdesk to formally request an SLA credit.
