How Much Downtime Is Acceptable
Feb 24, 2007It is probably acceptable for a site on shared hosting to have some downtime. However, how much is acceptable?
According to Pingdom one of my sites had a total downtime of 14 hrs for Feb. One time it was reportedly down for 4 hrs.
I had set it up to ping every 15 mts. Are these results trustworthy? And if it is should I move my host? Or at least tell them to move my site to another server?
The reason I ask is because I was wondering if this was the norm for shared hosting.
Need An Acceptable Adult Host
Oct 2, 2009My wife has grown tired of my concerns about the content on her site so she wants to move off of my MediaTemple Grid Service. She has also expressed concern over the speed (or lack there of) in my MediaTemple account. I myself plan to move over to A Small Orange either when I am finished with the year I paid for on MediaTemple or if the lack of speed becomes unbearable. But I digress.
She found a free web host with no ads (yeah, I know what you are thinking but hear me out) and she asked me to move her site. In all my 11 years of doing website stuff, I have never had a host that behaved nearly as bad as this one. This web host kept kicking me off of FTP so I had to upload each plugin manually instead of uploading the whole package.
Shaun Inman's Mint is also acting up on her webhost. My theory is that it does not play well with multiple database connections and that all Mint is doing is just showing that half of the attempted MySQL connections are being dropped by this host due to internal settings.
Now, my question to you is if you know of any good webhosts that allow adult content to be hosted? I remember only one but it closed down (Unrestricted.net) I do not know whether or not the parent company (BurstNet) allows adult content anymore. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Mar 15, 2008I periodically experience DDoS Attacks. I wanted to get some input on what you consider an acceptable amount of time before they stop?
I am hosted with The Planet which has some kind of DoS protection, and I've got APF / BFD installed which also prevents some. Usually it'll last 10/20 minutes and be ok again. Is this within the "acceptable" time frame, or would a Hardware Firewall do much better?
The Planet has: Check Point VPN-1 UTM Edge OR Cisco ASA 5510 SP / 5520 / 5550
Basically I don't want to get a Hardware Firewall if it's not going to do any better. But I don't not want to get one if I could be providing better services to my website users.
Ping Results For My VPS - Acceptable
Oct 23, 2007We run our company website on a VPS.
Now we do notice, that quite frequently, the connection times out or the server responds slowly. A friend of mine said the VPS could be the issue of this.
I ran a ping test today for several hours, sending one ping with 16 bytes with a timeout set to 3 seconds.
From 18000 pings sent (5 hours), 120 failed. Which comes to one failure in 150 pings, or one failure every 2.5 minutes.
Is this still an acceptable failure rate or do I have reason to contact our VPS provider? According to our own usage statictics, we are not using much of the server's capacities.
Layered Tech Not Acting On DoS Abuse Report - What's An Acceptable Response Time
Jun 3, 2008So we have a single Layered Tech box hitting our server with around 90 MBit/s for almost 12 hours straight now, resulting in over 400 GB excess traffic so far. An abuse report was sent about 4 hours ago (Ticket-ID: XZP-97559-339) with evidence included, but so far there was 0 reaction besides the auto-reply.
A phone call to the number listed on their website resulted only in a message that there is no one available at extension XYZ. I didn't try repeat calls since playing international phone tag is not quite my idea of fun.
I realise that it was/still is early in the morning at their location, but nonetheless, I'd expect a company their size to respond a lot faster to reports such as this.

Whats Up With BLUE VIRTUAL
Oct 3, 2009I have been with Blue Virtual (bluevirtual.com) for many years, since the Communitech days. However, the service these past few weeks has gone downhill big time.
The BV forums are dead, the webhosting is up and down like a yoyo, mail is intermittent.
Not just me but fellow users are experiencing the same.
Support tickets are going unanswered (accounts & tech. support).

Apr 25, 2009We are in the process building a new colocation facility and I wanted to take some input from everyone here. We have most of the infrastructure planning and layout done but were still early on in the construction phase so now is the last chance to get some input. I have two main questions I wanted to ask.
1)When your looking for a colocation facility what things are most important to you?
2)Have you ever wished that datacenters offered something outside the normal things that most providers do.

View 14 Replies View RelatedWhats The Point Of Multiple DNS Servers
Apr 9, 2007I have never understand this? Honestly, what is the point if they all point to one web server? I mean if the web server fails it doesnt do any good if you have 10 DNS servers. The only time it makes sense to me to run multiple DNS servers is if your DNS server is a piece of junk, and always goes down, which honestly doesnt happen that much.

100% Uptime Possible
Mar 28, 2009I am shopping around for a new dedicated server and am running into sites that offer 100% Uptime guarantees.
Is 100% uptime possible? Wouldn't that mean that they never reboot their server, or never perform specific maintenance/updates on the server?
I guess when I see 100% uptime, I would expect perfection. I thought I'd ask here if this is possible because I'd hate to invest dollars on something false.
