Our Hosting Services

  1. Maximum Hard Disk Space. Customer will be provided with the amount of disk space stated in either their dedicated quote or corresponding plan from https://omega8.cc/pricing. Disk space and usage are monitored by Omega8.cc, when possible quotas are soft and responsible overages should not impair Customer’s ability to access said disk space. Customers are responsible for purchasing additional disk space beyond that detailed in their “Plan” or to remove files in order to bring their usage with their Plans’s limit.
  2. Storage, Backups and Internet Link. Omega8.cc shall store Customer’s Web Sites on Omega8.cc servers. The parties expressly recognize that Internet servers and links are susceptible to crashes and down time. Omega8.cc warrants that it shall maintain a consistent link with the Internet, but Omega8.cc cannot and does not warrant that it shall maintain a continuous and uninterrupted link. However, Omega8.cc does pass through the following Service Level Agreement from it’s Managed Hosting Providers (ServerCentral and Extraordinary Managed Services Limited) and that is 100% Power Uptime and 100% Network Uptime. Omega8.cc does monitor all services at minimum of 1-minute intervals. If we incur an outage to the Omega8.cc network (excluding scheduled maintenance and emergency maintenance), Omega8.cc will credit the affected customer 1/30th of the recurring base monthly fee paid by the customer for the affected network services for every 30 minutes of downtime (up to, but not exceeding 100% of one monthly payment, and the credit will be applied toward future payments). Network uptime comprises the functioning of all network infrastructure including cabling, switches and routers. Services or software running on a customer’s server are not included in the definition of the Omega8.cc network. Network downtime exists if a customer’s server is unable to transmit and receive data and a ticket is opened for the incident in the Omega8.cc ticket tracking system. Network downtime is measured from the time the ticket is opened regarding downtime to the time the problem is resolved.
  3. Bandwidth. Omega8.cc agrees that it shall maintain a Dual Gigabit connection to each server, however, Omega8.cc does not warrant any response rate or download time beyond it’s control, as this is depending on Customer’s and End Users ISP connections.

However, Omega8.cc shall provide prior notice where it is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, and shall restore service as soon as is reasonably practicable. Customer shall not be entitled to any setoff, discount, refund or other credit, in case of any service outage which is beyond Omega8.cc control or which is reasonable in duration. Omega8.cc will replace any failed hardware component at no cost to the customer. The replacement process will begin when the cause of the problem has been determined. Hardware replacement is guaranteed to take no more than 2 hours. In the event that it does take Omega8.cc more than 2 hours to replace faulty hardware, Omega8.cc will credit the affected customer 1/30 of the recurring base monthly fee paid by the customer for the faulty hardware per additional 30 minutes of downtime (up to, but not exceeding 100% of one monthly payment, and the credit will be applied toward future payments). Hardware is defined as the processor(s), RAM, hard disk(s), motherboard, NIC card and other related components.
  5. Security. The parties expressly recognize that it is impossible to maintain flawless security, but Omega8.cc shall take reasonable steps to prevent security breaches in server interactions with Customer and security breaches in Omega8.cc server interaction with resources or users outside of any firewall that may be built into Omega8.cc server.

Full system logging and accounting is done with each command and keystroke recorded to external log files. These log files are audited and maintained for 7 days and then destroyed. However, Customer is solely responsible for preventing password protected pages within its Web Site from being automatically indexed and linked to search engine Robots or Spiders, or accessed by outside parties. Customer is solely responsible for any damage caused by such unauthorized access, and Customer indemnifies and holds Omega8.cc harmless for any compromise of Customer’s security that resulted from their own actions.
