Activate the free monitoring service on thise domains and check the report to see if they have any downtime in a 14 or 30 day period. It may be revealing.
Some services I've used are:
Hyperspin.com
siteuptime.com
websitepulse.com
There are others out there, just search for "site uptime" or "website monitoring".
Hope this helps,
