 Step 3. Uptime And Speed

 
  
 

 

How to check Uptime and Speed:

If a hosting company claims 100% uptime they are lying. All servers need to be rebooted every now and then for security and software updates. If they never reboot that means their server is insecure and they will eventually be hacked.

When a company guarantees an uptime, that doesn't make it true. A host has as many uptimes as they have servers. It all depends on what server they put us on, and how well they manage it from the time we're put on it.

We use Alertra (www.alertra.com) a well known, independent, commercial company that monitor web site and server.

Alertra checked performance of these web hosting companies every 5 minutes for 30 days.

We mark company 'unrated' if it has each downtime more than 1 hour and has speed more than 4 seconds/check.

Example of the report:
