They can request a certificate of insurance at any time and if the customer cannot produce proof within 10 days it would presumably be considered a violation of contract.
Better not load the wrong URL on your fully managed server, it may catch on fire and destroy the data center.  |
hmmm maybe they want to be insulate themselves from any potential lawsuits because of what you are doing on the servers? They figure if you have a big liability policy then the people sueing might just sue you then and not include them?
No idea, but I don't think it is from potential physical damage from a server catching fire.
