Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Last Updated: September 18, 2026 | Effective Date: September 18, 2026

1. Service Commitment & 99.9% Uptime Guarantee

ARC HOST strives to provide a highly resilient and fault-tolerant infrastructure. We guarantee a minimum 99.9% monthly network and server availability across all active Discord Bot Hosting, Minecraft Game Servers, Lavalink Audio Nodes, and Cloud VPS services.

If our systems fail to meet this 99.9% threshold during any given calendar month, eligible clients are entitled to service credit in accordance with the credit matrix below.

2. SLA Credit Schedule Matrix

Service credits are calculated as a percentage of your monthly recurring service invoice and applied directly to your ARC HOST client account balance:

Monthly System Availability Service Credit Compensation
99.0% – 99.89% 10% of monthly invoice credited
98.0% – 98.99% 25% of monthly invoice credited
95.0% – 97.99% 50% of monthly invoice credited
Below 95.0% 100% of monthly invoice credited

3. Uptime Measurement Criteria

Availability is calculated on a 24-hour basis through our independent external monitoring probes (pinging gateway ports, HTTP API endpoints, and hypervisor daemon status). Downtime is defined as total loss of incoming and outgoing packet communication to the client's container or virtual machine that is directly attributable to ARC HOST hardware, host node OS, or core datacenter network switching.

4. Exclusions from SLA Credits

The following events are not considered unscheduled downtime and are excluded from SLA claims:

5. Hardware Replacement Guarantee

In the rare event of a physical server component failure (such as CPU degradation, NVMe drive read/write anomalies, or power supply failure), ARC HOST commits to migrating containers to a standby standby node within 15 minutes of diagnosis.

6. Claiming SLA Credits

To request a service credit, please open a support ticket within 7 calendar days of the incident through our Discord Support Center or by emailing archostingxyz@gmail.com with your Server UUID, approximate downtime start/end times, and relevant logs.
