When looking for web hosting providers, users often ask question about how reliable a particular web host is? There is absolutely nothing strange in such a question. For many, the ability to have a website up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week may be crucial element for running a successful business. But even companies like Google or Yahoo! have issues with their servers and connection.
So to that end I can assure you readers, no web hosting provider can truly promise a 100% uptime 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 356 days a year. However some web host come pretty darn close to offer such an outstanding service. Take for example Bluehost- I have been monitoring Uptime Statistics of Bluehost for almost two years. In the year 2008 blue host uptime statistics where at 99.579%.
On of the reasons I have started to monitor Bluehost uptime was that I myself host few websites with this web hosting provider. I also wanted to test a service that allows me to monitor web hosts and my own websites- ServiceUptime.
So today I would like to announce that I will try to implement uptime monitoring for every web hosting provider featured on this website by the end of 2009. While it may enhance this website, the uptime statistics however should not be the deciding factor before purchasing web hosting plan.
