My site goes down very frequently. The answer is always the same: routine server maintenance. Paleeease.<br /><br />I've got to find a host that knows what hot swapping means. The thing is, you can never tell what it's going to be like until you go through the hassle of moving your site. I hear good things about GoDaddy - but they're new and hot right now, which makes me worry that they won't be able to scale like the big boys.<br /><br />There has to be a way to get good metrics on downtime from hosts. Anyone that could offer this service would make a killing. Hmmmmm. You'd have to know a bunch of sites from a particular host and ping them at a reasonable frequency and capture the stats.... Ugh. No wonder no one does this!<br /><br />Update: I just found these guys:<br /><a href="http://www.hosting-report.com/">http://www.hosting-report.com/</a><br /><br />But I must have a suspicious mind. How do I know they are truly independent?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6778518-111888523096964280?l=www.riddlelake.com%2Fblog%2Fblog.html'/></div>Lynnehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17446280680744570851noreply@blogger.com0
