Service Level Agreement
Web Maintenance | Last Updated: May 6, 2024
Definition of Service: One Firefly’s Web Maintenance 2.0 provides clients dependable and timely website upkeep through ongoing website maintenance activities designed to keep their website fresh, relevant and secure.
PRO HOSTING
1. Service Start Dates
One Firefly’s Web Maintenance 2.0 Pro Hosting is an ongoing service that commences after one of the following scenarios occurs:
A. Your new website is approved - the service will be considered live once the client’s website is “live” and DNS is pointed towards the One Firefly server. The Client will be notified within 24 hours of DNS propagation that the domain is resolving correctly and services have begun.
B. Your new website is in Review & Approval for greater than 30 days - If your Review & Approval period exceeds 30 days, One Firefly will begin charging for hosting as a storage fee to keep the website and its associated files on our Web Host Manager (WHM) in anticipation of the site being publicly accessible in the near future.
2. Billing
Billing for Web Maintenance 2.0 will be based on the status of the Client’s One Firefly Website Project.
- If the Client is purchasing a new One Firefly website and Web Maintenance 2.0 at the same time, One Firefly will collect for month 1 upon purchase and will bill for month 2, 30 days after the site has been “live” on the One Firefly server. If the Client wishes to purchase hosting at the point of going “live”, he/she must pay for month 1 prior to any DNS changes being made.
- If the Client has an existing One Firefly website hosted on another server, One Firefly will collect for month 1 upon purchase. One Firefly will then work with the Client’s existing hosting provider to get the website migrated and configured on our server within 30 days of purchase. The client will then be billed for month two 30 days after the site has been “live” on the One Firefly server.
3. Deliverables
The Client will receive the following as part of the Pro Hosting Plan:
- Single domain SSL Certificate
- 20G of server storage
- Highly available (two synced parent servers) setup providing maximum hardware & network reliability
- Weekly local and off-server backups (One Firefly will keep original backup of the site for the lifetime of the account and retain 8 weeks of consecutive backups)
- DDOS protection
- Managed Joomla CMS version & plugin updates
- Website firewall software
- Pingdom uptime monitoring
- Protection guarantee covering hack/malware cleanups
4. Communication
The One Firefly Web Department may provide periodic email communication regarding the Client’s service. This includes but is not limited to uptime reporting, server upgrades or enhancements, and any system interruptions.
5. Plugin & Extension Updates
The Client’s website uses powerful extensions to extend its features and functionality. These extensions also become outdated over time, and can pose high security risk. The Client’s website will receive systematic updates to core extensions to help keep their website protected. These updates are done at the discretion of One Firefly to ensure the safety and reliability of the website. Extension updates are limited to those utilized in the website build and must be compatible with the Joomla Update System. If the Client wishes to install plugins or extensions that are not compatible with the Joomla Update System, One Firefly reserves the right to disable the plugin should it cause vulnerability for the other sites on our server.
6. Nameservers
It is One Firefly’s belief that nameservers should always remain with the Client’s domain registrar to provide ultimate control and ease, should the Client decide to migrate their website elsewhere. For this reason, One Firefly strictly prohibits maintaining Client’s nameservers on our Pro Hosting server. If the Client’s nameservers are located somewhere other than their Domain Registrar and wishes to regain control, One Firefly can provide best effort support for up to 2 hours. This support will only be available if it prohibits the Client’s website from going “live” and any time outside of One Firefly’s best effort support must be billed hourly starting at $165/hour against a retainer that must be placed on account.
7. Cancellation/Migration
One Firefly’s Pro Hosting Plan is a monthly service that may be cancelled at any time with a minimum of a 30 day written notice. Upon notice of cancellation, the Client agrees to migrate their website off of One Firefly’s server within 60 days. During this time period, One Firefly agrees to provide the following information:
- Backend administrative access
- Database credentials
- FTP/Cpanel credentials
- 1 packaged Akeeba Backup File (if requested)
If payment is missed or website is not migrated from our server, One Firefly reserves the right to temporarily suspend the client’s website and/or send to a collection agency.
This agreement is subject to change without notification.

Disclaimer of Responsibility
Please note that while implementing DMARC, SPF, and DKIM significantly reduces the risk of your domain being used for spam or phishing, we cannot assume responsibility for instances where your domain may still be considered spam by some recipients or services. Email deliverability can be influenced by a wide range of factors beyond DMARC implementation, including sender reputation and recipient server policies. It is the domain owner's responsibility to maintain and monitor their email authentication practices to ensure the highest level of email integrity and deliverability.
