Blogging is for me an important endeavor. I spend time to make my blog current and updated all the time. Nothing could be more frustrating when the blog site is down. I become helpless, being dependent on my web hosting provider. These kind of experience led me to try one hosting to another. In general downtimes of the server are inevitable. Every web hosting have it’s downtime even if they have boasted 99% server uptime.

New comers are easily caught on some marketing hype of unlimited space or unlimited bandwidth. I have heard some hosting are cutting you off when your bandwidth consumption is nearly 2000 GB/month. Downtime problems are also more pronounced on some cheap web hosting that I have tried. There are no customer support to call and help or explain things out. Aside from the monthly fee cost, customer support is one of the important things that I now look on when it comes to web hosting. In my opinion, the easiest and most convenient way to have support is through live chat.

Having a 24/7 running blog is one essential factor in the success of any monetized endeavor. I remember advertisers canceled payment of ads due to some lengthy downtime in the web hosting service. I could not live with that kind of service. That’s one of the reason Why Reliable Web Hosting is important for me. I have a blog investment to protect. Thus, web hosting uptime is an essential factor in my blog.
