unless you happen to be Visa... or any of the credit card companies. I assure you a single percentage downtime on their systems will lose them multi-millions.

how many of you who offer 99% uptime magically monitor for any little downtime and send out checks to your clients? I'm sure you too wait for them to report a problem.

My free web host has about 200 now, and its been around for about 2 months, with about 2 weeks downtime.

Hello
We are considering offering 100% uptime guarantee for sites on special load balanced server clusters.
The file swould be on one server, databases on other servers with mutliple web and FTP servers doing the delivery.
It will be expensive to provide and will cost a lot of money , but it is possible to get close to 100%, look at Yahoo.
Anyway on the hosting clients, it depends who you count.
We actively host 8841 web sites and have another 2000 or so parked domains.
This has taken just over 2 years and we add 3 to 5 (net of cancellations) per day.

Close to 100% is not 100%.0

Close to 100% is not 100%.
i.e. we could have down time but customers would recieve substantial compensation.
Just like all those "my MLM site has been down for 5 minutes and I have lost $20,000 in sales" customers want.
of course thats exactly the sort of customer who wont be prepared to pay for such a service but we may end up offering it.

ANYONE can offer 100% uptime. Server uptime, network uptime, whatever uptime. YOU can offer GUARANTEED 100% uptime -- simply spell out what the remedy is if you fail to meet that guarantee.
If someone is paying you $24.95 for shared hosting, and you're down an hour during the month, that's a whopping 4 cent refund.I thank my Lord for all His wonderful blessings.0

It would depend on what the terms of the contratc were but we are talking $100 per month price range and payouts in the $1000's if necessary properly underwritten by an insurer.
