2Does your service make my DirectAdmin server bulletproof?
No, it does not, and no DirectAdmin Server Management service ever will. When our team performs security hardening and applies updates, we are delivering the best possible protection in place against hackers and malicious entities, but 100% protection is impossible to guarantee. However, if an attack does occur, you know you have a team of experienced professionals working as hard as possible to provide a timely and effective resolution.
3Can you guarantee the uptime of my servers?
No DirectAdmin server management service can guarantee 100% uptime. Issues like power outages, attacks and other unexpected events make this impossible. However, our sophisticated monitoring, backups, and firewall tools greatly decreases the chance of unexpected downtime.
4How quickly are support tickets responded?
We offer different levels of server priority based on the DirectAdmin server management package you choose. However, our team has an incredible response time, averaging 75% less than indicated by our DirectAdmin server management packages.
