5. Proactive Monitoring

The GearHost Cloud Platform is monitored 24/7/365 by comprehensive automated systems. In the event of any issue affecting the health and operation of the GearHost infrastructure, core systems, or tools, our dedicated operations team is notified and will respond immediately to diagnose and correct any issues. This 24x7 monitoring covers the entire GearHost platform, benefiting all GearHost users.

In the event of a platform issue, a notice will be posted on our platform status site at www.gearhoststatus.com to promptly communicate the impact and status of any such issue. If there's an ongoing platform issue, you do not need to submit a support ticket. Instead, monitor the status page which will always be kept up-to-date with the latest progress and information.
