[Fahad_1]

hello,

Who do u think provides the most reliable dedicated service with 100% uptime?

I heard good things about rackspace and hostgator.

Need some reviews.

Thanks

I think that there no best dedicated. I think 100% uptime is imposible. Because it depends on Data Center as far as I know.

it dippends on allot of factors, is the datacenter secure with AC ? and there can never be 100%uptime it also depends on the server speifications and on the Network uptime. try staminus i heard they are good at DDoS Protection also dedihostplus mabe you should give them a try and make your review here at FWS :)

Happy holidays All

People, Get this into your head first...

Do you see Google down, even for a minute? Well, I had experienced a 3 hour downtime by google in 2003!

And what about the big daddy about all thing? Microsoft? Do you thing they have downtimes?

It is possible to have 100% uptime.

Now you may argue that these sites/companies have many data-centers. Yes, they do have. But the point is that... You can access their site at any given point of time!

Microsoft restarts their servers every 7 days. And once a month they restart them all at the same time.

This causes a 20 second downtime of their entire website each month

Google – was down for 3-5 mins 3 months ago.

100% uptime is not possible, if you have over 5 servers to hold up one single site located on different internet connections and power supplies connected to each other in the DC then 99.9999% is, but not 100%. If you only have 1 server... 100% uptime is not possible at all.

yeah hes right, because even if your site is down, even for a milli second once throughout 10 years of uptime, then it is no longer 100% uptime, this is on the same level as unlimited bandwidth

But thats because they use Windows.

Got nothing to do with the os, its the fact the computer itself needs to be restarted to keep the stablility up. Take umm an car. leaving it on 24/7 (with its lights) does what? Kills the battery, not if you shut off the car for 1 minute then restart it the battery will be saved longer, as it is being recharged in a sence, the same thing as rebooting an computer.

You cannot leave an machine online 100% of the time, there are to many factors that effect it. Heck even the goverment machines are not on 100% of the time, theres always something down on one of them. Even if the sight would still be 100% vewable

100% Uptime, You just need to sell a leg and part of an arm. XD

[LSComputers]

Well even rackspace doesnt have 100% uptime. I actualled used them once, and had 99.8% still good, but still not 100% and that was there managed products, so it wasnt my end that was at fault. just the known cause that ever machine has an reboot that it needs to do, to be stable.

[heymrdj]

100% I know is impossible. Something always goes wrong, its the standard of the world :P. I have never seen a single site run 100%.

Well actually it does, microsoft operating systems suck at always being on, they need to be restarted every now and then.
Not true for linux.

Yeh, but a computer is hooked up to electricity. The stress of turning the computer off and on, on the components is said to be greater than the stress of always keeping them on.


So, unless there is some kind of a problem, there is no reason why a server needs to be taken down, for no reason whatsoever.

[influct]

dedis have to be restarted ever so often. end of.
scm, even your precious linux screws up occasionally (to be fair, it is much less than windows, you have got a point on that one)

It takes a sensible webmaster to realise that getting the best possible uptime requires maybe 5 min a month of downtime, most uptime monitors won't even notice this.

I am curious about the people saying windows needs to be restarted all time


have you actually used a windows server for an extended period of time? We have several windows machines and the only need for a reboot is on certain security updates. These are machines used in a production environment and are every bit as stable as a linux environment (which we also run).
