UNDERSTANDING SERVER UPTIME AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU

When choosing a Philippine web hosting service provider, two of the most common considerations is a disk space and bandwidth allowance of each plan. This basically determines what you are getting in exchange for your subscription. However, the server uptime is often overlooked, which can possibly raise a number of concerns in the future. So what is exactly a server uptime, and how is it important? Read on and find out.

Server uptime is the time a Philippine web hosting service can host their clients. For most companies, most of their web hosting packages come with 100% uptime. This means you can expect your website to be up and running, 100% of the time, powered by your Philippine web hosting provider.

So why is it important? Well, for one, it reflects server reliability. You can just imagine having a server downtime in a middle of the work hours. This means your site/s are down and you will not be able to receive and send emails. This will not only result to delays, but possibly loss of business opportunities.

However, there are a number of downtime that you need to be aware of. Firstly, there is the scheduled server downtime, or planned downtime. In such cases, clients are notified ahead of time as to when the downtime will occur and when you can expect it the service to resume. This is usually due to server maintenance and upgrades. The unplanned downtime refers to unanticipated downtime which may be due to a number of reasons such as overloaded servers, and hardware defects.

Minimal downtime occur at least 1-2 times in a year to give way to server maintenance and upgrades. Otherwise, you can expect reliable and efficient service every single time.
