By: DS Rachmat Home | Computers-and-Technology | Web


Availability and downtime is one of the most important questions that many site owners face. If you remember, the establishment of a critical website or an e-commerce site then availability and downtime are the things that you should be while looking for a webhost. You may have heard about the great time, but those who have not yet, this article will explain the exact meaning and the importance of availability and downtime of web hosting.

The definition of availability and downtime

What is Uptime?

Uptime, the only web hosting is the time your site is fully functional (visible and usable).

What is downtime?

Downtime, vice versa, based on the length of time, if a system is not available. These numbers are usually in percent.

For e-commerce websites availability and downtime is extremely relevant because downtime can be attributed to the revenue lost, and in this very competitive world, it could very well be your company's survival.

Once you've found your host, it is necessary that you are from your website availability and downtime, to ensure that you get what you pay, and also to see if they live up to its promise (so You can host if they aren 't).

Tips:

* If you can 100% (or 99.99%) availability is not easy, it's also not cheap * Focus on quality and not quantity. Not only for the hosts to give you a refund for stationary time looking for those who actually live up to their "availability" * Looking for suppliers with good hardware (as it is for redundancy) * SLA's and guaranteed availability " could only marketing trick * Availability of third parties are valuable resources * forums, although good sources of information, not necessarily "correct", especially when it comes to the host recommendations * To prevent stagnation times, find suppliers, the hosting on two separate machines and the server can automatically Mechanisms
