Six Hosts Top Reliability List
June 15, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Six Web hosting companies share the top spot as the most reliable hosting company site for May, according to data from research and analysis firm Netcraft (netcraft.com).
The six-way tie between InetU, Hostway, Ipower, New York Internet, Pair Networks and Tiscali, is a first for the reliability survey, as three and even four providers have shared the top position in the past. The showing reflects a strong month for hosting reliability as the winners each had 0.01 percent of their DNS responses fail, just a hair short of a perfect showing.
Hosting on FreeBSD seems to work well as four Web hosts out of the six utilized FreeBSD with the remaining two hosts on Linux. Overall, five Linux sites were found in the top 10 this month, four on FreeBSD and one on Windows.
Netcraft measures and reveals the response times of fifty leading hosting providers’ Web sites, with performance measurements made at 15 minute intervals from six separate points around the Internet. The averages are then calculated over the 24-hour period immediately preceding.
