We’re off to Europe to find out which host has the best uptime?

Uptime Test – Week 10 Method

  • Compare 8 WordPress Hosts
  • Use 8 Live Sites, each with a Different Host but with Identical Content (you can check them out here)
  • Use Pingdom Uptime Test

Pingdom Logo

  • Location of Test: 10 Locations across Europe
  • Frequency of Testing: Every Minute across the Last 7 Days
  • Total Number of Tests = 1 x60 x24 x7 x8 = 80,640 (xMinutes xHours xDays xSites)
  • Uptime testing is confirming that the website is actually accessible to visitors
  • An example of why an outage (or downtime) can occur is scheduled maintenance of the server the website is hosted on

Uptime Test – Week 10 Summary Table

Our hosts performed better this week, with 4 hosts (compared to 2 hosts last week) achieving the ultimate goal of 100% Uptime:

  1. A2 Hosting
  2. SiteGround
  3. InMotion Hosting
  4. Web Hosting Hub

A2 Hosting has taken out the victory thanks to not only achieving a perfect uptime, but also recording the fastest average response time. Will this performance help A2 Hosting move up the overall uptime rankings?

The biggest movers from last week were GoDaddy from 3rd to 6th, HostGator from 4th to 7th and Bluehost from 8th to 5th.
