Availability, clearly explained

Hosting uptime and service availability

Uptime describes whether a service can be reached over a period of time. A percentage is useful only when you also understand how it is measured, what it covers, and what remedy applies if the target is missed.

What to check in an uptime commitment

  • Scope: does the commitment apply to the network, server, or your complete website?
  • Measurement: how are downtime and partial outages counted, and over what period?
  • Exclusions: scheduled maintenance, customer changes, software, and upstream providers may be treated differently.
  • Remedy: check whether a missed target qualifies for service credit, how to request it, and the deadline.

HostRomeo's published commitment

HostRomeo currently advertises a 99.9% uptime guarantee. The Terms of Service describe a 99.9% network uptime SLA and say credits may be available under the applicable billing guidelines, subject to stated exclusions. Read the current terms for the precise scope and claim process; this overview does not replace the service agreement.

Before purchase: verify the current uptime terms for the exact service. A network availability commitment may not guarantee that every application, plugin, database, email system, or third-party integration is continuously available.

Monitor your own website

Use an external uptime monitor from a network outside your hosting account. Monitor important pages and transactions, retain incident timestamps, and test from more than one location where possible. For outages, record the affected domain, time range, error message, and any recent DNS or application changes before contacting support.

Questions about the SLA?

Ask support which uptime terms apply to your chosen hosting service and how to report an incident.
