What is uptime?
Uptime is nothing but the measure of the duration for which the server is online and operational.
Many a times when you try to log on to a website you get an error message called the ‘page cannot be found’ which means that the web page cannot be found. What this means is that the web server which was hosting the website has gone offline and is down.
This is not a good situation for a website to be in because you are loosing potential customers and visitors. So it is important to choose a reliable web hosting service that has a good server uptime report.
Many companies vouch by their 99.9% uptime which means that their servers are up and running 99.9% of the time. The uptime is usually measured on a monthly basis.
