Server Uptime 99.9?

[Fritz]

Hello Evryone.

Some WebHostingCompany claim the 99.9 uptime. How it is possible?
What did you think? What is your webhosting uptime?

Cheers!

I think 99.9% uptime is very possible. Free hosted blog sites like blogger almost always never has a downtime, even if they did it does not last more than an hour.

My company maintains 99.9% uptime for all our customers. That's 4 minutes of downtime each month. It's maintained by redundant line backups, power backup, security, etc.

Well 70% of the hosting companies have ~ 99% uptime. My host uptime is ~ 98%. Why as they upgraded the server RAM, processor etc. Most of the servers are located at good DC (data centers).

For eg. I buy a server from theplanet.com and some other people too. Now their DC are at Texas and they have a good DC so most of the people who have purchased server from them or hosting business will have a good uptime unless they did somethign wrong themselves.

Yeah 99% isn't much of a stretch... Down for a minute a day would still be 99%

99.9% isn't difficult to achieve because hardware and software is much more reliable nowadays. Of course maintenance is never included in this figure and so your site may be down much more overall.

Well I think a good hosting company should have more than 95% uptime well there might be ups and down here and there due to various reasons but still if its minutes long down times then im ok [ if its not happen too often ] more you pay better you get.

uptime is the time which your hosting or your server online.

Or you can think easily is online time of hosting

Would seem to me that number always meant that while we guarantee it (and will give you credit if it goes under that), it doesn't mean that it won't. After all, in the world of the internet every site (including the big huge sites) experience downtime from time to time due to hardware failures etc, DNS problems, etc.

Good points here, but as this is really the industry standard - is it really an effective part of the sales message?

For some reason it reminds me of when cars first came out with factory installed AM/FM radios - it was a selling point then, but now it is expected and, therefor, not mentioned in the sales pitch.

Just a thought, but yes 99.9% uptime is possible.
