NETCRAFT CONTINUES TO RANK HOSTWAY THE MOST RELIABLE HOSTING
COMPANY SITE
For the third month this year, Hostway receives award recognizing
its high uptime and fast connection time.
Chicago, IL-Wednesday, October 12, 2005-Hostway
Corporation, a leading provider of Web hosting and managed services,
has been chosen by Netcraft as the most reliable hosting company site
for the third month this year. This respected Web hosting industry
authority selected www.Hostway.com as the most reliable Web site for
hosting providers based on the lowest number of failed requests and
speed of connection time.
"Our customers' number one priority is having their
Web sites up and running. At Hostway, we're no different. Netcraft's
acknowledgement of our reliability reiterates our drive to provide
our customers 99.99% uptime," said John Lee, vice president of
marketing for Hostway.
The award is based on the lowest number of failed requests and speed
of connection time. The purpose of using these two measurements is
to give the clearest indication of network capacity and congestions,
with the least impact from the performance of the companies' own web
servers. Netcraft believes customers place more importance on the
percentage of failed requests than outages on a hosting companies'
site, as this gives an indication to the routing reliability.
Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of fifty
leading hosting providers' sites. The performance measurements are
made at fifteen-minute intervals from eight separate points around
the Internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding
24-hour period.
Hostway has been consistently recognized as a
leading Web hosting provider by online hosting resources. TopHosts
has ranked Hostway as the number one hosting provider from 2000-2005.
Web Host Directory has also rated Hostway the number one ecommerce
Hosting Provider for the last three years.
