Web Hosting: Downtime Monitoring System

Filed Under (Bandwidth, Web hosting) by on 24-09-2009

Web hosting providers usually offer a 99% uptime guarantee for their servers. It’s like indirectly saying that you should expect a 1% chance of downtime. To appreciate the percentile measure of reliability, we will translate this in the equivalent number of hours per year. Basically, the 1% chance of downtime translates into 7.2 hours of downtime a year. You think you can handle it? Also keep in mind that this 1% only refers to the server downtime and not the entire system.

Companies that do online business are advised to move their operations in-house. A major drawback to this though would be felt on the financial side as the infrastructure can cost a lot.

Having a couple of monitoring reports available for the downtime of their web host would probably be the next best thing to have. There are advantages to having a third party monitor your downtime. This will guarantee that your investment is money well-spent and that your business will be running smoothly. Also, by having their links placed on the site, it assures the customers of quality service.
