Virtual Server Service Terms
Draft responsibilities for virtual infrastructure customers.
Operating system administration
The quote must specify whether a VPS is self-managed or includes managed support. Customers remain responsible for credentials, updates, software licensing, firewall rules, and lawful activity except for any duties expressly assigned to the provider.
Resources and connectivity
Virtual CPU, RAM, storage, snapshots, bandwidth, public addressing, network filtering and virtualization capabilities must be stated in the final plan. No specific hypervisor or isolation guarantee is made by this draft.
Security and backups
Customers should maintain independent backups and not assume that a provider snapshot is available or adequate. Restoration windows and access procedures require a written service description.
Migration and termination
Data portability, license transfer, IP reassignment, termination and deletion should be addressed before approving an order.
