Occasional downtime is unavoidable on the long term for any host though. 100% uptime is impossible even in theory. Hard drives fail from time to time, DDOS attacks happen and all a host can do is react and minimize their effect. Then there are scripts that run out of control and bring the whole server to a crawl. Anyone of these things and many others can and will happen to any host.
The important thing is how the company deals with such problems, how fast and efficient they respond to such urgent calls. The only way to find out about these things before you sign up for the service is from reviews freely posted by their customers on the web.
