Uptime, which is basically another word for reliability or availability, is simultaneously critically important and one of the least worrisome components for most people’s quest for a new hosting plan.
Uptime guarantees are essentially a promise that your hosting provider will make sure the infrastructure supporting your website or application is working properly and making your content available online for a prescribed amount of time. This is especially important for business websites and online stores, as time directly equates to revenue and positive customer relationships.
Uptime guarantees are included with hosting contracts, technically without an extra charge. Hosting providers use uptime guarantees as a marketable feature to attract new customers. However, plans with better uptime guarantees tend to cost slightly more than those at the industry average of 99.9% or lower.
