Server Maintenance Policy
Guidelines on Cloudhosting.lu’s server maintenance and uptime practices.
1. Purpose
This is Cloudhosting.lu’s (“Cloudhosting.lu”, “we”, or “our”) Server Maintenance Policy. This policy discusses how we maintain our technology to improve and administer the Services, and how you may be impacted by those actions. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in our Terms of Service.
2. Availability
We offer a 99.9% uptime commitment and use reasonable efforts to provide Services 24/7. However, servers require routine maintenance and upgrades (“Scheduled Downtime”). Services may be temporarily unavailable due to Scheduled Downtime or causes beyond our control. We will provide advance notice for Scheduled Downtimes whenever possible.
