Auto Care is designed for the most experienced of clients. This level is for systems administrators who need our assistance as little as possible. All patches and upgrades are handled automatically by the system, with any server customisation handled by the client.

Any support, with the exception of hardware failures, that Webarama is required to carry out is billable at our standard rate of $99 per hour, or part thereof.

It is expected that clients at this level need little help in the maintenance and day-to-day running of a server. The server should remain secure, with one or more full time systems administrators available in emergencies.

Any monitoring and/or non-standard customisation are the client's responsibility. This level should only be selected by experienced systems administrators who need no free support in the daily running of their server.

Technical support for servers with Auto Care is through our helpdesk system only.

Basic Care is our entry level management solution. This level is for the majority of clients who want a dedicated server solution.

All servers at this level are added to our standard server monitoring system, with service restarts performed during business hours. Firewall customisation and maintenance is also included.

Priority support is given to our dedicated server clients, with Advanced Technical Support provided at no extra cost, up to 2 hours per month.

Any support beyond that limit will be charged at our standard rate of $99 per hour, or part thereof.

Technical support for servers with Basic Care is through our helpdesk system only.

Total Care is our highest management level. This level is for clients with the minimum of experience in managing a server or whose business needs dictate a hands-off approach to server management.

This level includes all the services as defined for Basic Care above, with the addition of our 24/7 service monitoring and restarts.

In addition to the customised firewall, Webarama will also harden your operating system and implement advanced security policies to ensure server integrity.

We also provide unrestricted Advanced Technical Support.

However, no root/administrator access to your server will be provided, and all changes to the server by the client must be done through the control panel.
