As a hosting customer it should not be your responsibility to check you hosts servers for reliability, after all it is what you are paying your host for. Any host who’s not completely upfront and transparent about their uptime monitoring and notifications you should stay a mile away from!

I used to use cheap hosting and they would take the server down for maintenance without letting me know. Your best bet is to find a virtual private server (VPS) company that understands outages are a serious matter. P.

Virtually "uptime" means online server availability - responds to pings, ssh connectivity and so on. But if there just a webserver or email server is down or temporarily unavailable - it is not downtime, though many users name it so. Therefore such online checking systems are not always unbiased. For instance, they may check only pings to the server, while the webserver may become completely inaccessible time to time. This means, that the websites won't be displayed and the account owner will lose his or her visitors and money and consider it as downtime, though it is not actually so. Thus, if a person is only interested in getting hosting services from some hosting provider and goes on the web to check the host's uptime, he or she may be seriously mislead. The same thing may be about Hostgator, as far as their customers sometimes do leave not very positive reviews. If you are interested in blog hosting, you may give it a try using special package from SiteValley.com "Blog Hosting". It comes with a free domain, unlimited disk and bandwidth quotas and has Wordpress preinstalled. It also supports up to 10 addon domains, so you may get 11 different blogs hosted under one account.

However, you can search for some online trackers, which gather and publish uptime statistics on the web. Here you are a link to one of them: http://uptime.besthostratings.com/webhosts-uptime.php (I looked for Namecheap there for you, but they seem to not track this host :() If you are much interested in Namecheap hosting, you can browse through their community (http://community.namecheap.com). If you don't find uptime reports there, you will perhaps be able to check out some of their users' feedbacks. Good luck with picking your host :) Hey Lely,
