I have free account at serviceuptime.com, where I have setup they to monitor my website – rsmkd.com uptime. The uptme for Janurary 2010 is 100%! This is great, by far it is the best uptime among all other hosting companies I have an account with.
Here is the screenshot, for the previous month:
You can see the report live here. Hostgator overall uptime for 2009 have been 99.977% which is excelleint in my opinion. This is well above the 99.9% mark host gator guarantees. The overall uptime measured so far is 99.972%, with average response time of 0,364 seconds, which is also excellent. My account with serviceuptime.com is setup to monitor my site every thirty minutes. In January 1696 checks have been made and none of the failed! I am very happy for my websites hosted with Host Gator. In about two months I will make 2 years with HostGator, and my experience with them have been and it is still great! They are really one of the best web hosting providers out there.
