1. Uptime Guarantee

Sigilhosting guarantees 99.99% uptime per calendar month for VPS instances, dedicated servers, bare metal servers, GPU servers, managed Kubernetes worker nodes, and load balancers (approximately 4.3 minutes of unplanned downtime per month). Managed DNS is covered at 99.9%.

2. How We Measure Uptime

Calculated as: (total minutes in month - downtime minutes) / total minutes in month × 100. Downtime starts when our monitoring detects the issue. We err on the side of the customer.

3. Covered Services

Network (99.99%): Public IP, private networking, floating IPs, load balancers.

DNS (99.9%): Anycast nameserver query resolution.
