FastHosts Uptime review

FastHosts offers 99.99% Uptime guarantee SLA for their VPS and Dedicated servers. From March 2006 to October 2012 they have recorded 99.99% uptime for their corporate website according to WebHostingStuff website. Although it’s impressive to see that figure the fact is that it is one thing to record higher uptime for your own corporate website and it’s quite a different thing to record the same up time for your clients websites too. It is because the clients websites may have some scripts which require more resources than currently allocated and might result in some downtime. Also, it’s easy to maintain good up time record for one server than it is to record good uptime for multiple servers. That’s why you can’t take the uptime record of their corporate website as a sample to the uptime records of remaining servers on which the customers websites are hosted. That is why you need to have first hand experience with a web host to experience the real uptime of you website. From some negative reviews we see on the web for Fasthosts it looks like their customer servers suffer some downtime which might be higher than their 99.99% uptime guarantee. That is why you need to host with FastHosts web hosting company yourself to find out whether they can provide 99.99% uptime to your websites. If you are not satisfied with the uptime then you can cancel the account and get your money back should FastHosts offer a money back guarantee or they honor their 99.99% uptime guarantee SLA.
