Service Level Agreement (SLA) Guide
We are committed to providing all our customers with the highest level of technical support and recovery service in the industry today. Our technicians are experts in their field, not only keeping client services operational, but also providing friendly and quality technical advice whenever necessary.
Fast2host Support Team can be contacted between the hours of 09.00 – 17.00. Emergency 24x7 support is also provided via the phone or support ticket system 24x7 for 'mission critical' operations. Engineers are made available at a cost of £60.00 per hour who can configure or install software on your behalf, which is not part of our standard level of support.
The entire Fast2host network is monitored 24 hours a day. We also operate SMS Alarm Response Services, so support engineers can proactively monitor services and the current status of network resources. If a problem is detected or anticipated our engineers can respond and inform you immediately.
