Frequently Asked Questions
Website uptime refers to the period when your website is accessible and operational, while downtime is the opposite, indicating a period when your website is inaccessible or not functioning as intended.
Uptime is crucial as it directly impacts user experience and business performance. Websites with high uptime provide consistent access to visitors, resulting in better engagement, customer satisfaction, and potential revenue generation.
Downtime can result from various factors including server issues, maintenance, coding errors, traffic spikes, cyberattacks, and hosting provider problems. Regular monitoring and addressing these factors are essential to minimize downtime.
You can use website monitoring services or tools that periodically check your website's availability. These tools notify you immediately if your site experiences downtime, allowing you to take prompt action.
While 100% uptime is the ideal, it's practically impossible due to maintenance and unforeseen issues. A widely accepted standard is the "five nines" (99.999%) uptime, allowing for less than 5 minutes of downtime per year. However, acceptable percentages vary based on your website's purpose and industry.
