.ws SLA Compliance

TLD SLA Compliance Metrics

Spec 10

DNS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	100%	100%	66ms	275ms	216
7d	99.17%	99.17%	61ms	218ms	1200
30d	99.75%	99.75%	64ms	543ms	4056

WHOIS

Period	Availability	RTT Compliance	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	35.00%	32.50%	143ms	10002ms	40
7d	31.67%	29.17%	94ms	10005ms	240
30d	39.21%	37.95%	116ms	4810ms	556

DNSSEC Validation Metrics

Registry Agreement Spec 6

DNSSEC is required by the Registry Agreement (Specification 6) but is not part of the Spec 10 SLA. We monitor DNSSEC validation independently.

Period	Validation Rate	RTT p50	RTT p95	Checks
24h	97.73%	69ms	665ms	44
7d	97.92%	133ms	433ms	240
30d	99.26%	88ms	311ms	816

Unlike Spec 10 services, DNSSEC has no formal availability SLA. Thresholds shown are operational guidelines.

Per ICANN Spec 10, we test all delegated nameserver IPs independently.
