It all depends on what is your definition for the best hosting:
- Best uptime?
- Best customer support?
- Best price?

Normally the three criterias don't come together; it all depends on which is more important for you.

Thanks.

Hi john,
What do you mean by evidence? I don't see any evidence at:
http://www.giztech.com.my/server.php

Please enlighten me.

Thanks.

Hi John,
Yes, I'm a hosting provider.

Frankly speaking, the uptime you mentioned doesn't tell you much about the server reliability. That's why we need Alertra, Websitepulse & Hyperspin.

Thanks.

Hi john,
The server status page shows which service ports are online. We do have that in our customer portal. However, it should be hosted on an offsite server, which I hope for your case http://www.giztech.com.my/server.php is not monitoring the server, giztech.com.my.

As for the paid monitoring companies, they give visitors confidence. The reason is because Alertra & Websitepulse (I'm not too sure about Hyperspin) have a policy that the uptime log cannot be edited, regardless the problem is with their own monitoring server or the client's server. As such, the visitors as well as web hosting providers trust these companies a lot.

Furthermore, they generate user friendly uptime reports:- a quick glance tells you the uptime percentage of a server port monitored.

Thanks and I don't work for Alertra/Websitepulse, hehe...

Hi John,
Is it? I studied in Taylor's as I did my CAL in Pre-Engineering there. 0201PE2 student. Graduated on June 2003. What about you?

Thanks

ps: Let's not get off topic

Yup, it's up to the web hosting provider to choose which to use. I was just introducing a more preferred method by the WHT and SGWHT community (Sad to say MYWHT isn't active)

Nope, how I wish I was born as a genius to skip school so that I can finish my CAL at 15 (if my calculation is correct) I'm just an ordinary student who went through all the academic years without skipping. Thanks for your interest on me, by the way


ps: I believe the mods have their eyes on every single thread, better stop before we get warned.
