SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA)
Effective Date: January 30, 2026
Company: NodeMania
Website: https://www.nodemania.com
1. Purpose
This Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) defines the service availability standards and support response commitments provided by NodeMania for:
- Shared Web Hosting
- Business Hosting
- WordPress Hosting
- Cloud VPS
- Managed Cloud Servers
- Associated infrastructure services
This SLA applies only to active, paid accounts in good standing.
2. Uptime Commitment
NodeMania provides a 99.99% network uptime guarantee for hosting infrastructure, calculated on a monthly basis.
2.1 Definition of Uptime
“Uptime” refers to the availability of our core network infrastructure, including:
- Network connectivity
- Core routing equipment
- Power systems
- Data center infrastructure
Uptime does not include issues specific to customer applications or configurations.
3. Service Availability Calculation
Monthly uptime percentage is calculated as:
(Total Minutes in Month – Downtime Minutes) ÷ Total Minutes in Month × 100
Downtime is measured when the hosting infrastructure is unreachable from multiple external monitoring locations.
4. Service Credits
If uptime falls below 99.99%, eligible customers may request service credits.
| Monthly Uptime | Service Credit |
|---|---|
| 99.9% – 99.0% | 5% of monthly fee |
| 98.9% – 98.0% | 10% of monthly fee |
| Below 98.0% | 20% of monthly fee |
4.1 Conditions for Credits
- Credit must be requested within 7 days of the incident
- Account must be current with no overdue balance
- Credit applies only to the affected service
- Maximum credit cannot exceed the monthly service fee
Credits are applied to future invoices and are not refundable as cash.
5. Exclusions from SLA
This SLA does not apply to downtime caused by:
- Scheduled maintenance
- Emergency maintenance
- Customer misconfiguration
- Third-party software failures
- DDoS attacks exceeding mitigation capacity
- Force majeure events (natural disasters, war, government actions)
- Domain DNS propagation
- Customer application crashes
- VPS instance mismanagement
6. Scheduled Maintenance
Planned maintenance may occur periodically to maintain security and performance.
- We aim to provide advance notice when possible
- Maintenance windows may occur during low-traffic periods
Scheduled maintenance does not count as downtime.
7. Support Response Times
NodeMania provides 24/7 support coverage.
7.1 Initial Response Targets
| Priority Level | Example Issue | Response Target |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | Entire server down | Within 1 hour |
| High | Website inaccessible | Within 2 hours |
| Medium | Email issues | Within 6 hours |
| Low | General inquiries | Within 12 hours |
Response time refers to first reply acknowledgment, not resolution time.
8. VPS & Cloud Server Responsibility
For VPS and unmanaged cloud services:
- Infrastructure uptime is covered
- Operating system management is customer responsibility
- Application-level uptime is not covered
- Security hardening is customer responsibility
Managed server customers may have separate service terms.
9. Network Infrastructure
Our infrastructure includes:
- Load-balanced architecture
- Redundant power supplies
- RAID 10 SSD storage
- Enterprise-grade hardware
- DDoS mitigation systems
- Multi-server failover
Redundancy minimizes downtime risk but does not guarantee zero downtime.
10. Backup Disclaimer

- Customers remain responsible for maintaining independent backups
- NodeMania is not liable for data loss
- Backup restoration is not guaranteed unless under managed backup service
11. Credit Request Procedure

13. Modifications
NodeMania reserves the right to modify this SLA at any time. Continued use of services constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
