Uptime & Downtime

Well I think everyone needs a host that offers 100% uptime. No one really likes any kind of downtime for their servers/websites. I remember working on servers 10 years back, when downtime was a concern for hosting industry. With innovations like cloud technology and many other innovations, uptime guaranteed is usually 100%.

Many web hosts offer an 99.9% uptime averagely and this is equal to 8 hours and 45 minutes downtime per year which is quite high. This can be reduced only when web hosts start offering an uptime of 99.99%.
 
For the most part you are going to want 100% uptime. That being said, you want to make sure that your hosting provider is updating the servers to ensure you continue to have a stable and secure environment.
 
Adding to this is, any rare network downtimes that may occour from the network providers. I understand most reliable hosting companies will usually mention 99.9% uptime guarantee but happen to provide more than the guaranteed %.
