Their uptime needs to be 100%
March 28, 2008 10:10 am BusinessOne of the things that you will invariably find when you read Web hosting top ten reviews, is a discussion about how reliable their service is — sometimes they will refer to this as uptime: the percentage of the time when their service will be available. Don’t be fooled into believing that 99% uptime is good — it isn’t. You should aim to do business with a company that has nearly 100% uptime. If a web hosting company has 1% downtime daily, that amounts to around 12 minutes — in the course of a week, that adds up to 84 minutes — almost an hour and a half every week, when your customers will not be able to access your site! Every web hosting company should aim at 100% uptime — and the better companies come pretty close.
