| Nov 27, 2019 at 16:17 | comment | added | closetnoc | @Josef This did not mean that something could not happen to take down a site, however, my customers were as covered as possible. So in that respect, you are absolutely right! No-one can really guarantee 100% up-time. I always felt my strength was the fact that I handled global corporate sites and could do this for my customers. Cheers!! | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 16:16 | comment | added | Josef | @closetnoc and I work for an agency where we have two completely independent, mirrored data centres physically separated and had to switch to the backup once already. So I'd conclude that you have been lucky! | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 16:13 | comment | added | closetnoc | @Josef The idea is to remove all "single points of failure" which is quite possible in a single NOC (facility). I had three network providers to the NOC, one to MAEEAST (where backbones converge), one to MAEWEST, and satellite. Battery backup for 4 hours, generators, and every point of my internal network was fully redundant. All sites sat on several servers. Plus I had hot-spares, spares-on-the-shelf, and spares-in-the-air. I monitored all sites internally and externally as well as the systems themselves with automation. I also had DDoS, anti-virus, and intrusion protection. | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 16:04 | comment | added | Josef | @closetnoc it takes a short time to switch traffic to a second independent data centre, so I'd say 100% is impossible, except by luck! | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 15:30 | comment | added | closetnoc | @Dubu Cheers!! I am retired from hosting now, I understand SLAs, redundancy, and on and on. I was a host where all sites resided on several servers with redundancy, redundancy in the network, power, fail-over, and so on. It was not necessarily expensive. But then again, I owned the whole thing and was a consultant for all the major telecoms so I knew what to do. My point is that 99.999% in reality is either 100% or less. It is not that 99.999% does not calculate out to a number, but an impossible number to attain unless it is 100%. Many hosts made this claim but could not adhere to it. | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 12:07 | comment | added | Dubu | @closetnoc It is mathematically impossible to have 99.999% up-time. Mathematically it means that you have a downtime of not more than 5.2596 minutes per year (averaged over leap years). Which would be prohibitively expensive for normal hosting, because everything would have to run rock-solid and on redundant systems. But it is not unheard of for high availability SLAs. Which, OTOH, would mean you pay your customer a lot of money if you miss that goal. | |

| Nov 27, 2019 at 7:31 | comment | added | dan♦ | GoDaddy does a few things fairly well, with WordPress being one of them. They've put a lot of resources into their WordPress offerings because it's used quite often by their customer base, which is comprised of individuals and small businesses. For enterprise level hosting, I'd suggest looking elsewhere, but for domain registration and WordPress, they're a solid choice, as is many others that focus on small to medium sized businesses. | |
| Nov 27, 2019 at 5:34 | comment | added | closetnoc | @Groo I was a web host for a long time and I had to laugh at the 99.999% up-time line that hosts like to use. Web hosts know this is a B.S. number. It is mathematically impossible to have 99.999% up-time. It is either 100% or somewhere around 97%. You are giving good advice. Cheers!! | |

| Nov 25, 2019 at 19:57 | comment | added | vgru | For a personal site, there is probably no need to pay a premium to get that 99.999% uptime. Just pick a php/linux hosting provider, get a domain, and install the WordPress using whatever "admin panel" you get from the provider. I've had ridiculously low deals with Hostinger, although people dislike that it doesn't provide the standard cPanel (which is not that big of a deal IMHO). But since it's Black Friday, you will likely get discounts everywhere. Just look for the fine print on these deals - the recurring renewal price is sometimes much bigger than the one you initially paid. | |
