Network Uptime is the total time in a calendar month that Ahosting network is available through the Internet, provided that Client has established connectivity. Ahosting takes responsibility for Network availability within their network, however, we cannot be held liable for upstream problems, outside of our network. Our guarantee is that our Network will be available to clients free of Network Outages, that render 100% packet loss, 99% of each calendar month.

Network Outages or Unscheduled Downtime is any unplanned or unscheduled interruption in Service availability during which Client is unable to access the services as described in the section titled "Network Uptime" above. A Network Outage is defined as a period in which 100% packet loss to our network is experienced, which is determined to have been caused by a problem in Ahosting's Network as confirmed by Ahosting. Downtime or outages are measured as the total length of time of the unplanned interruption in service availability in a calendar month.

Scheduled Downtime is any Ahosting scheduled interruption of Services, for the purpose of network upgrades, or replacement of any equipment in order to provide for you better service. Scheduled downtime occurs during notified downtime periods, with as much advance warning as possible via e-mail with a minimum of 12-24 hours notice.

Payment

Subsequent payments are due on the anniversary date of the month for that month's service, unless customer requests all monthly payments to be consolidated to one specific billing date. Any additional services relative to a primary hosting account, will be prorated to the primary hosting account's monthly recurring billing date, along the following guidelines of prorating methodology: (total monthly fees/ 30) * number of days to monthly recurring billing cycle. Any setup fees will be charged full setup fee pricing, and are applied at time of initial request of such services.

Bandwidth Overage (Dedicated Server)

Your server comes with a set bandwidth depending on package. This represents the amount of bandwidth that you are allowed to use for each calendar month. If you exceed this allotment for any reason in any calendar month, even if you have cancelled service with Ahosting during the month, you will be charged overage bandwidth at a rate of $.30 per gigabyte. Bandwidth billing is done in arrears, and you will receive your bill for overage bandwidth during the first week of the following month that the overage occurred. It is your responsibility to monitor your bandwidth usage and to pay for all overages. If you are a reseller, it is your responsibility to monitor the bandwidth usage of your client(s) as you are solely responsible for any and all overages incurred by them.

Hardware Replacement

Hardware replacement will occur within 1 - 8 hours of the reported problem, Ahosting will refund 5% of the monthly fee per additional 8 hours of down time (up to 100% of customer's monthly fee).
