Yeah, that happens. I'm very happy with our web hosting provider, Winhost, but no provider is perfect. We get the advertised 99.9% uptime, but that could still mean 43 minutes of downtime every month.
DetailsIf a web service provider advertises 99.9% uptime, you can expect the service to be down for approximately 43.2 minutes per month. This calculation is based on the following:
There are 30 days in an average month.
0.1% downtime means 0.1% of the time the service will be down.
To calculate the downtime in minutes, you can multiply the total minutes in a month (30 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes) by 0.1%:
(30 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes) * 0.1% = 43.2 minutes
So, with 99.9% uptime, you can expect the service to be unavailable for around 43.2 minutes each month.
In the future if there is ever an extended outage check my YouTube Community Feed for any details. I used to post on Facebook and Twitter but those services have become crap now so I just rely on my YouTube channel.
Oh and I have three different web monitoring services that I use so by the time you realize there's a problem I guarantee you I've already gotten at least two alerts LOL. But thank you very much for the concern. I do appreciate it.
