Qube had the most reliable hosting company site in November with just a single failed request. This is the fifth time Qube has made it to first place in 2014, and the fourteenth time it has featured in the top 10 since September 2013. Qube offers a Managed Operating System Service, where its engineers cover day-to-day tasks such as continuous monitoring, tuning and patching.

XILO had the second most reliable hosting company website, with three failed requests. This is the second month in a row that XILO has taken the title of the second most reliable hosting company website. XILO offers a Premium Hosting service with automatic fail-over in the event of a server failure and 1:1 volume mirroring between cloud nodes to ensure redundancy.

Datapipe had the third most reliable hosting company website with five failed requests. Datapipe uses a high performance network over multiple Tier-1 backbone providers to ensure reliability and scalability.

Linux was again the most popular operating system of choice, being used by 8 out of the top 10 hosting company websites. FreeBSD and Windows Server 2003 both had single entrants, Pair Networks and INetU respectively.

Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of around forty 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.
