Hi there everyone,

I am looking to get onto some new servers and have concerns about uptimes (and particularly downtimes).
I have learnt that not all in the industry can be honest, and honour uptime guarantees, or tell the truth when I ask about them.
Does anyone know of a website that monitors hosts (not just hosts paying to be part of the service, maybe a free service)?
e.g. I dont just want to view lunarpages, yahoos uptime etc - I would love to see an uptime record of some smaller, less known companies.
Please let me know if anyone knows of any sitesthat provide this service to the general public.

Thanks :)

You could go to siteuptime.com and personally monitor a company's services (free version too).

Hi there Bryc3,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time on my hands so don't have time to do the monitoring myself.
I do however know that these types of sites exist, I have come accross a few in my time however cannot remember the URL's and extensive googling couldn't reveal much.
Ive found something along the lines of what I need at hosttracker.com, but I am still trying to figure out how to use it :p

AH! I've found it - netcraft.com. THREAT END - MODERATOR PLEASE CLOSE.

webhostingstuff.com

It displays uptime of each host you search for...

But that is fake since they let you adjust their uptime...

Yeah, I use siteuptime.com. It isn't the best because you can only check in 30/60 minute intervals, which can sometimes miss downtime.
