Host Down!?

[Nomar]

How often is your host down? On average on a monthly basis?

Mine probably around 1 time, but just for around 10 - 20 minutes. What do you think of this?

I got introduced with linode.com lately and so far they are the best hosting I ever had, seriously (not affiliated with them or anything, just being honest)

I have two hosting accounts
1) wiredtree.com. This is my main and I have been really happy with the service and support! They just fix what ever idea and problem I have
2) vservercenter.com. This is real cloud hosting that I'm testing and while it is good and cheap I'm not that impressed with support. You need a bit more experience with solving basic issues, restarting services etc.

Both hosting solutions give me access to WHM and allow me to add multiple cPanel instances. I like that a lot Further at vservercenter I can buy additional IP addresses (not that costly) and in different ranges (good for building sites that link to each other)

I have been using bluehost and hostgater - good options for sure... but I had to leave bluehost due to resource problems with one of my high traffic sites... was a pretty stressful period!

How often are they down... well almost never... recently however my main site was down 1 hour due to a network issue but this is not normal. I use pingdom for monitoring (free and with 5 minute pings).
