Who has the best uptime?

edited July 2012 in General

I know this might sound like a broad question, but I am looking for a host that is highly, highly reputable and is known to deliver awesome uptime. I am going to be hosting a forum, (That's it). And the forum cannot have downtime at all, it will be pretty active. I understand a couple minutes for a reboot or something, but I am looking for a host that goes balls to the walls. I am right now looking at hostigation and the reviews are incredible. Can anyone else chime in?

Budget = MAX 5$/month for now. I am looking for easy expandability/upgrade ability once my business grows.

    5$ wont justify if you want 100% uptime. Get a vps.net cloud for about 10$. I know it is above your budget bud cloud would be the best option for you in your case.

  • TazTaz Member

    Just to add, a vps node complete reboot can take upto 30-45 minutes depending on how many vps hosted.

  • A lot of providers offer pages to check the uptime of their nodes. Have you looked at them or the offers section?

    @Brandon no regular provider can gurantee 100% uptime unless they have multiple location failover ( cloud setup). 100% is completely impossible.

    Ninja, Thanks for the info. I know I wont receive 100% uptime, but I just need a higher end host out here on LEB. I've been reading reviews lately and I found Hostigation, but I don't know if there is better?

    I do only need a 256/512 if that helps ^^

  • TazTaz Member

    If you cut down 100% uptime requirements, you got hostigation, buyvm and some other provider.

  • qjqqjq Member

    buy 2 vps and setup failover or 100% uptime is impossible

    It doesn't ;) Heck even AWS went down after a lightning storm.

    @NinaHawk really you're suggesting vps.net? I would warn anyone even thinking of going with them!

  • @NinjaHawk said: Get a vps.net cloud for about 10$.

    Search for VPS.net at WHT - They have more downtime than nearly any other provider...

  • NexusNexus Member

    @NinjaHawk, buyvm is all sold it out unfortunately. What "Other provider" do you speak of? I am leaning towards hostigation at the moment.

  • TazTaz Member

    @nexus go for hostigation then. They got 7 days money-back terms.

    @William well I guess I was lucky than.

  • fanfan Veteran

    @NinjaHawk said: Get a vps.net cloud for about 10$.

    Do they really offer that price? PM me if that price is still available, thanks.

  • TazTaz Member

    @fan they used to not sure about now though.

  • yomeroyomero Member

    The "cloud"

    LOL
    Bah...

  • There's a list here - http://chi.blite.ca/pungcm/

    Doesn't break it down into cost/plan, but might give you an idea on which host to look at.

    RocketVPS (139 days+) , Prometeus (90 days+) - 100 % uptime
    ChiagoVps (99.99%), ramhost (99.9%), hostigation (99.96%)
    buyvm (99.93%)

    PS: all servers are monitored for atleast 4-5 months
    Rocketvps is the only one which will be more than $5 without discount. I pay 4.99 for a 256/512 openvz VPS

  • jcalebjcaleb Member

    Agree for rocket... it's worth your money...

  • @NinjaHawk said: @serverbear how does some one get listed there?

    The list is based on offers made here and at LEB. I initially had you listed from this offer but after a few days your test IP went offline.....

  • @NinjaHawk said: @Brandon no regular provider can gurantee 100% uptime unless they have multiple location failover ( cloud setup). 100% is completely impossible.

    Yes of course but never said that???

  • TazTaz Member

    @sleddog fixed the test ip (Actually took that vps offline ).

  • @NinjaHawk said: @sleddog fixed the test ip (Actually took that vps offline ).

    I added the .60 IP you mentioned in your sales thread. Hope that's OK...

  • TazTaz Member

    Cheers and Thanks :D
