Bandwidth Measurement and Overage Fees
As of January 5, 2009 all bandwidth listings for Webmaster, Professional and Enterprise dedicated servers consist of the sum of incoming and outgoing bandwidth allowance. Incoming and outgoing bandwidth allowances are calculated on a 50/50 split of incoming to outgoing bandwidth based on the total bandwidth, therefore the incoming and outgoing bandwidth allowances are each half of the total listed bandwidth. Any bandwidth usage exceeding either the incoming or outgoing bandwidth total will be billed at the rate of $1.00 per GB over.

Dedicated Server Support
Basic support and maintenance of dedicated servers is provided at the discretion of Super Genii, Inc. In the case of erroneous instances or support issues extending beyond what we determine to be within the realm of reasonable assistance, support is priced as follows:

  • $99/hour

Scheduled Maintenance and Downtime
Super Genii will use its commercially reasonably efforts to provide services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Subscriber acknowledges that from time to time the services may be inaccessible or inoperable for various reasons, including periodic maintenance procedures or upgrades ("Scheduled Downtime"); or service malfunctions, and causes beyond Super Genii's control or which are not reasonably foreseeable by Super Genii, including the interruption or failure of telecommunications or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, or network congestion or other failures. Super Genii will provide at least 48 hours advance notice to the subscriber for Scheduled Downtimes, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any other disruption, inaccessibility and/or inoperability of its web servers. Super Genii has no responsibility for downtime resulting from a user's actions. Also, the 100% network uptime guarantee does not apply for shared accounts.
