Choosing a Web Hosting Provider - Server Reliability

SUMMARY: Ensure your web hosting provider runs reliable servers.

Before choosing a web hosting provider, you may wish to see how reliable it is. There is no use in spending money on a web hosting provider if it is constantly going offline, as a downed website can result in lost business!

To help determine a web hosting provider's uptime, consider visiting the NetCraft website at http://www.netcraft.com. Every month, they tabulate performance for all of the top web hosting providers. Look for the link "Hosting Providers Network Performance" off of the main page.
