It’s time to check into how reliable our 8 WordPress Hosting providers have been this week.
Our location is worldwide, which means a mixture of North America, Europe & Asia Pacific. I’m looking forward to seeing how this balanced approach affects the results?
Uptime Test – Week 4 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
- Location of Test: 10 Locations across North America, Europe & Asia Pacific
- 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
