site uptime vs. economic situation – how’s your hosting?
I’d never have thought that the recent recession would have an effect on computer uptime, but one blog claims that is the case and they have good stats to verify that.
I have in the past used monitoring services when this blog had outages in December, but sometimes they reported false outages. So for my blogs which I visited daily, it was quite unnecessary. For sites that don’t require much maintenance, though, having a monitoring service could be useful especially if you’re doing Internet Marketing, and have dozens of sites.
