Scope of Support
for Magento Hosting
1. Server Support
- The server will come pre-configured with our Magento stack. All pre-installed components, including but not limited to Apache/Nginx, PHP, MySQL/MariaDB, Redis will be configured and maintained by ServerGuy. No customizations will be done to the default server stack.Â
- In case of any issue or error, our support team will inspect the logs in order to debug and resolve the issue if it’s found server or configuration related issues. However, if issue found related to the code or plugin, this has to be taken care of by the development end. We will share all possible input and logs required from the server end.Â
- SLA of issue resolution would depend on the nature of issue and opted plan
- Installation of optional services (based on the opted plan) like Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ will be installed on-demand, setup and configuration of these services in the Magento will have to be done at the development end.
- Our server stack supports GIT and service can be enabled on-demand. Configuration of GIT with application CI/CD or existing workflow has to be done at the development end along with other operations like pull, push, merge, etc.
- Dev/Stage/UAT/Pre-Prod will be set up (based on plan) by ServerGuy first time only, post-setup data synchronization from Prod to Dev/Stage/UAT/Pre-Prod and vice-versa will have to be taken care of by development end only.

Note – Security is a shared responsibility. Just ensuring 100% security from the server side CANNOT guarantee a foolproof website. Almost 75% of security breaches have been found to be due to code side vulnerabilities.
4. Monitoring
- ServerGuy monitors the main/prod Magento store’s uptime through HTTP keyword-based check from an external monitoring platform. This is tested every one (1) minute. If the server/website is down, the team proactively starts investigating.Â
- Utilization of key server resources (i.e. CPU, RAM, Storage, and Network) proactively monitored by our NOC team and notified on registered email ID in case of any continuous resource bottleneck or require attention.
- The client can view the resource utilization of their server through the provided panel.

- The client must alert ServerGuy in advance if there are plans to disable, block, or remove any services or applications that may result in a false-positive alert notification. Such information must also be provided by the client to re-add monitoring whenever this is required again
Exclusions
