Thank you for the links. Have used that forums search and came up with more information.
I do find your comment about "99%" uptime a little strange.
My Employer is a VERY large Transportation Company that relies almost totally on a mainframe that is integrated into virtually every facet of Operations. They do system upgrades every Sunday which takes from around 30" to 1 hour. So right there we have over 7 hours a year in planned downtime. Would just guess that there is another 40 or 50 hours a year of unscheduled downtime at the system level and about 40 to 50 hours of localized downtime, some of which occurs at critical locations.
Would consider this to be fairly good performance, during the early 90's at most locations you could expect two or three hours a day of downtime.
Perhaps the bar is being set too high.
Don't know which way I'm going to go. Have Equivity, Fever Host, and Host Gator on my short list also.
Have also looked at dedicated hosting from EZPublishing but do not think I have either the ability or time to manage it. Their control panel system scares me off a little. Like WHM and am trying to keep it.
Yes, I've carried on too much but got a lot on my mind.
Any opinions would be helpfull. |

These days the downtime you talk about in your post is considered to be quite a lot. But if you don't mind 7 hours per month, then that's fine - it all depends on what you're hosting. Can you imagine if Google was down for 8 hours every month? |

Google down for 8 hours a month? That is hard for me to put in context as I don't use that particular search.
Pretty sure I'm going to go with Datacities based on price. Should be better than what I have now.
Thanks for paying attention and if anyone wishes I'll keep this going as the process continues. |
