The most reliable hosting company website this month belongs to EveryCity, with no failed requests and a speedy average connection time of just 69ms. EveryCity, which has maintained 100% uptime over the past two years, offers its own cloud hosting solutions, as well as managed third-party cloud hosting services, including AWS and Azure.
Two other hosting company sites also successfully responded to each of Netcraft's requests this month, and were therefore ranked according to their average connection times. Second place was earned by XILO Communications, which was, on average, only a millisecond slower than first-place EveryCity. XILO Communications has maintained a 99.99% uptime over 5 years. Third place goes to ServerStack with an average connection time of 86ms and 99.98% uptime over 5 years.
Hyve Managed Hosting continues its top-ten streak, making February 2018 the 13th consecutive month its website has appeared in the top ten most reliable hosting company sites table. Hyve has maintained a consistent 100% uptime since Netcraft began monitoring its site in July 2016.
Linux is the most popular operating system this month, being used by six of the top ten most reliable hosting company sites. FreeBSD makes three appearances. SmartOS — a specifically cloud-oriented platform based on OpenSolaris and Linux KVM virtualisation — is the OS of choice for EveryCity, which had the most reliable website this month.
Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of around thirty leading hosting providers' sites. The performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from separate points around the internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.
From a customer's point of view, the percentage of failed requests is more pertinent than outages on hosting companies' own sites, as this gives a pointer to reliability of routing, and this is why we choose to rank our table by fewest failed requests, rather than shortest periods of outage. In the event the number of failed requests are equal then sites are ranked by average connection times.
Information on the measurement process and current measurements is available.
