I am looking at finding a new reseller account, and have been looking at webperf.net for uptime and speed comparisons. Is this a good measure of evaluating a potenial supplier ? or are the figures mis-leading ?

Thanks.

I don't know about their accuracy, but for one thing, they report on only a fraction of the available hosts out there. You'll get more useful info just reading and searching the forums here.

Unfortunatly their speed comparisons tend to be off. This is a combination of things, one major one being that some of webperf.net's servers for measuring speed are sometimes on 10-base connections (which means the max speed they can check is 1300KB/s) and some hosts will limit the bandwidth per connection (which is way some hosts only show as having 5KB/s and other sillyness).

Their uptime count is usually pretty accurate though.
