99.9% Uptime Guarantee

CapsLOCK · 03-23-2009, 09:48 AM

If the company (apthost.com) promises 99.9% Uptime Guarantee - do you trust that?
Do you know companies that guarantee better uptime?

Companies that offer better up time cost more. There are 99.99% and there is also 99.999% these all require enterprise failover servers usually in a cluster and not in a shared hosting environment.

I incline to trust 99.99% uptime, any reputable company guarantee that. I have seen hostgator, webintellects and bluehost guarantee this uptime.
That's o'k.

It's not about trust, it's about getting guarantees if host's SLA is violated.

I would check over at WHT for some clients opinions of apthost.

This is really commopn practice. and apthost.com in particular is a very stable and trustworthy host, so I think you may trust their guarantees.

That's normal when the company provides 99.9% uptime guarantee. no one may guarantee more.
Or that is scam.
Say glowhost.com offers this uptime and that's fair.

I also agree that 99.9% uptime guarantee is very decent and honest. Some companies try to claim 99.999% uptime which is unreasonable and in my experience, signs of shadiness, lol

99.9 is doable. Most companies offer some type of guarantee around that. It's typically simply a percentage of your monthly bill that you will receive as credit broken down by how much downtime happens. As just a pure example:

99.0-.99.8 = 10% credit
98.0-99 = 20%
etc.

That depends on the datacenter. If they own it I suppose that is possible - no doubts

You will find most company offer such uptime guaranties but only a few manage to fulfill them if the SLA is violated. So choosing a decent host that offers a guarantee is advsiable rather than choosting any kiddy host who offers the same guarantee.

The 99.9% is very commong among companies. Whether it is true you can get to know by getting information on the companies to know how reliable are they. I can say a2hosting.com might be considerwed as one of the most reliable.
