SmileyCat Website 2009 Uptime Report

I just got my 2009 yearly uptime report for this website. It was offline for a total of 6 minutes and 3 seconds, which is better than 99.99% uptime! Thanks Verve Hosting — this is why I've been with you since 2001 without a thought of swapping to another provider.

If you're not monitoring your site's uptime, I use Host Tracker, which monitors up to two URLs for free.

6 minutes? What did you do with all that free time? I agree Verve is great!

Nice, I'm actually thinking about using them myself, and you just sealed it for me.

I have heard good things about them. I remember when uploading at 100 bytes per second was flying! Louis C K will surely have a joke about this.

I haven't heard of Verve, but will have to look into this. Better than 99.99% is really good. How many others use them?

Thanks
Tony

Thanks for this I have come from an agency where clients had to spend a minimum of £50 a month on hosting and the servers were constantly going down, we charge much less depending on the site and traffic but am always concerned about monitoring down time will definaltely give these a go!

Thanks a fantastic report! 99.9% or above is definitely something you can't beat. Haven't heard of Verve before now, but will definitely look into it!

@Tony — not sure who else uses Verve, but I've never had any problems. And if I do have a question, Christine always gets right back to me.

I have never heard of Verve before, I bookmarked it and may be making a swtich over. That is a really good testimonial! Do you know how they are with running multiple IPs?
