Is it the hosting company's fault ?

[georgechristodoulou]

I have a website that deals in vintage movie posters, nothing too huge or demanding. For some strange reason, every single day, the site either glitches or pure and simple goes down for various amounts of time.
Is it the hosting company's fault, is it the server we are hosted on, or just my bad luck.
Anybody has any recommendations?
Please help.
Thanks,

Find a web host you can count on.

Have you contacted their tech support? I think that you have to know realy reason.

Yeah, I think you'd be better to apply to the support of your host and figure out everything before starting to find the other hosting.

Guess you need to know why its failing and be able to prove it too. Most isps will not accept there is a problem unless you have proof including traceroutes of any network issues.

Capturing screen shots of any errors and doing traceroutes locally or from one of the numerous websites that provide such facilities is a good starting point, then you can use this to prove to your hosting company there is an issue.

Most isps I have come accross do not monitor each and every site and in some cases only ping servers so they may not be aware of the problem.

As the other posts suggest better to give them a chance to resolve the issues as they may not be fully aware of any problem.

You may want to go through some free proxy and take a look at your site, if it loads up than it could be ISP related.

You can also try to view your site on different browser, IE/FF/Opera

Maybe you can post the link and we can check it out for you if we are able to view it

Which host are you useing? If you type into google [HOSTNAME] Review you should be able to find some reviews of what other people think about the host and then if they think it's bad ytou can presume its your hosts fault.
