Nice job!!


Now, you just have to catch up to Conxion and its 2464 days :).

Wow, pretty impressive. Definitely something to be proud of...

Congrats.

Vito

24 MONTHS?! WOWOWOW!!!

My host has been up for 3 days :S

Greetings:

Did the article state if a 3rd party audited the results?

Or is the company stating they had 100% up time for 24 months without any 3rd party verification?

Thank you.

Well, it's easier to keep a router up than a server and that is what they are talking about.

This is a feat that is almost unheard of in our industry

Umm, not at all. :rolleyes:

A router, or a Server? Which are they talking about?

No-one can keep a shared server up for 24 months - believe me.

It was just a press release. I didn't see any third party authentification there.

Keyword here is network uptime. Still, they seem to do a tremendous job. :)

That's nice, but did a 3rd party firm audit the results?

===

OOPS... posts coming too fast, should have scrolled up more... sorry.


Thank you.

Yep, I was just about to mention that. That's why I said they were talking about their routers.

Hostnexus's dedicated server has been up 3 months - ever since we we brought it online and moved the site there but as I said, a shared server is a different matter.

wow :)

I am no host, so I wouldn't know if this is a tremendous thing or not .. . but congratz to RackMy for achieving this ... just one Q:
And since then, says RackMy, the company’s network has not experienced a single minute of interrupted Internet connection to customer serversDoes that have anything to do with the fact the server is up or not??

From the looks of it, its just network level only, although its possible and they may have a very well setup to avoid downtime its a bit hard to believe 100% uptime without even a blip... but it is possible if you put enough money into it.

Three Redundant Routers with feeds from every ISP into each router will do the trick.

did this just turn into an advertising thread?

Its difficult, which is why I thought it was worth mentioning, but it is not impossible (Conxion and Rackspace have been able to do it :)). Having talked extensively with Mike I know they have a pretty good setup and sitting in an Inflow datacenter certainly helps.

As far as 3rd party verification goes, I have no idea -- as someone pointed out it is just a press release, but I am sure Mike can answer anyone's questions.

Congrats RackMY

Yes, congradulations :) You get what you pay for :D

Thanks every one!

We get beat up around here at WHT all the time about our price, but it does take a lot to provide this level of uptime. We choose a high quality provider who has a completely redundant network and continue that redundancy down (we also have redundant routers/switches).

Yes, the release was our celebration of accomplishing 100% Network Uptime for 24 months. This does not include our servers but we do have several customers who have had 100% site uptime for a very long time (but that is another press release :)).

Thanks again to everyone for their support and nice comments!

Nice seeing something positive in this industry :D

Congrats, this is very nice, 24 MONTHS uptime... heh if i had a server having that displayed by the "top" command I would NEVER ever reboot it again... and look at it all day long :D

Hehe
I won't reveal who this person is...but I know of a case of a reseller (colocation) that has a 48" TV in his house and uses it to monitor the "top" 24/7..even when he's in bed!

I thought we agreed that you don't tell anyone! :angry:

:D :D :D

Ok, lets stay on topic here please. This is an achievement that deserves credits.
