Our Commitment: We understand the necessity of high availability to our customers. This Service Level Agreement defines the levels of availability and support you are guaranteed to receive with SolaDrive’s services.

1. 100% Network Uptime Guarantee

100% Network Uptime — Guaranteed

For both our VPS and dedicated servers, we offer a 100% uptime guarantee for the network you are connected to. This means that if for some reason your server suffers packet loss or loss of connectivity, we will compensate you for the level of downtime based on the table below.

Monthly Network Uptime Service Credit
100% Guaranteed
99.9% – 99.5% 5% credit
99.5% – 99.0% 10% credit
99.0% – 98.0% 15% credit
98.0% – 95.0% 25% credit
Less than 95.0% 100% credit

2. 99.9% Server Uptime Guarantee

99.9% Server Uptime — Guaranteed

We are confident in the level of uptime and service we provide, which is why we offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee for all VPS services. Should your uptime for the month fall below that threshold, we will provide you with a pro-rated credit to your account.

Monthly Server Uptime Service Credit
100% – 99.9% Guaranteed
99.9% – 99.5% 5% credit
99.5% – 99.0% 10% credit
99.0% – 98.0% 15% credit
98.0% – 95.0% 25% credit
Less than 95.0% 100% credit

Note: This guarantee applies only to unscheduled outages. Occasional planned server/network maintenance may be necessary. In all but the most urgent cases, we will send an email notifying customers of scheduled maintenance in advance.

For dedicated servers, this guarantee applies only to the network, as we cannot directly control the uptime of customer-managed server configurations.

3. 2-Hour Hardware Replacement Guarantee

2 Hours or Less — Guaranteed

We provide a strict 2-hour or less hardware replacement SLA from the time we identify that an issue is due to defective hardware. If it takes longer than our guaranteed 2 hours, we will provide a credit to your account as specified below.

Hardware Replacement Time Service Credit
2 Hours or Less Guaranteed
2 – 3 Hours 5% credit
3 – 4 Hours 10% credit
4 – 6 Hours 15% credit
6 – 12 Hours 25% credit
12 – 24 Hours 50% credit
More than 24 Hours 100% credit

Note: This guarantee does not include the time required to perform additional software-related maintenance, including rebuilding web accounts from backups, cloning hard drives, reloading the operating system, reloading and configuring applications, or rebuilding RAID arrays.

4. 1-Hour Support Response Guarantee

1 Hour Response Time — Guaranteed

We know the importance of getting quick and helpful support every time you contact us. That is why we guarantee that we will respond to your support ticket within one hour from the time you submit it.

You will either receive an update on the issue or, in most cases, a resolution well within the same hour. In practice, we generally respond to tickets within 10-15 minutes. You can be assured that your ticket won’t go more than one hour without a response.

Compensation: In the event that your ticket does not receive a response within the guaranteed one-hour timeframe, you will be compensated $1.00 per ticket that did not meet this guarantee.

5. How to Claim SLA Credits

To be eligible for an SLA credit, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Your account must be in good standing with no overdue invoices.
  • You must submit a support ticket through our helpdesk at https://www.soladrive.com/support/ requesting the SLA credit.
  • All SLA credit requests must be submitted within 5 business days of the reported downtime or incident.
  • Your request must include the ticket number associated with the service interruption (if applicable).

SLA credits will be applied to your account and used toward future invoices. Credits are calculated based on your monthly service fee for the affected service. The maximum credit for any single incident shall not exceed 100% of your monthly service fee.

6. SLA Exclusions

SolaDrive is not responsible for downtime related to the following, and as such, will not issue credits for:

  • DDoS/DoS Attacks: Denial of service or distributed denial of service attacks targeting your server or IP address. Note: If you have purchased DDoS protection services from SolaDrive, or if DDoS protection is included with your service plan, the SLA will apply during attacks that fall within your protection coverage limits.
  • Scheduled Maintenance: Planned downtime or maintenance that has been communicated in advance.
  • Account Issues: Interruption of service due to unpaid invoices, abuse notifications, or violations of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy.
  • Customer-Controlled Downtime: Downtime caused by customer actions, configurations, or installed software.
  • Third-Party Services: Issues with third-party software, applications, or services (such as MySQL, Apache, PHP, cPanel, etc.) that are not directly managed by SolaDrive.
  • ISP or Connectivity Issues: Problems with your local internet service provider or connection that are outside of our network.
  • Force Majeure: Events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, government actions, or widespread internet or power outages.

This SLA is subject to change at the sole discretion of SolaDrive. Any changes made to this SLA will be published on our website and customers will be notified via email at least thirty (30) days before the changes take effect.
