Scope & Coverage

This Service Level Agreement ("SLA") applies to all CloudNexus services provided under a paid subscription plan, including VPS Hosting, Managed Kubernetes, Global CDN, Object Storage, and Managed Databases. Free tier and beta services are excluded from this SLA.

CloudNexus monitors service availability continuously. Uptime is calculated on a monthly basis per service category. If CloudNexus fails to meet the committed SLA, eligible customers may receive service credits applied to their next billing cycle.

Important Note

This SLA supplements the CloudNexus Terms of Service. In the event of any conflict, the Terms of Service shall govern. Service credits are the sole and exclusive remedy for SLA breaches.

Key Definitions

Service Outage
A period during which a service is unavailable or non-functional for all users in a specific region, as verified by CloudNexus monitoring systems.
Scheduled Maintenance
Planned maintenance work announced at least 72 hours in advance. Does not count against uptime unless it exceeds the communicated window by more than 30 minutes.
Customer-Managed
Services where the customer is responsible for OS, middleware, and application configuration. CloudNexus is only responsible for underlying hardware and virtualization layers.
Managed Service
Services fully operated by CloudNexus, including database management, patching, backups, and failover orchestration.

Service Credit Remedies

If CloudNexus fails to meet the uptime commitment, eligible customers may request service credits based on the table below. Credits are applied as a percentage of the monthly charges for the affected service.

  • Outages caused by customer error, misconfiguration, or actions by authorized third parties.

  • Beta services, preview features, or services explicitly marked as "no SLA".
