How important is Uptime?

By William MacMahon


You may have spent thousands of dollars making all possible effort to make your website look really good. You hired the best graphic artists and website designers just to have that best look for your websites. Writers and bloggers were paid in very huge amount just to give you the best content about your products and services.

You've made countless consultations from the finest consultants for a guarantee of having a very classy and appealing website. You know what the benefits of having a well-designed website are and you have done everything just to reach its full potential.

Uptime is very important to every company's website as this ensures accessibility and availability to consumers. If you have a high percentage of uptime, you are ensured that your products and services can be viewed and by potential clients at all given time.

A potential transaction can be lost for every second your website is down. With consumers surfing the web at any time of the day, you would never know how many potential clients can be lost during a specific time your website is experiencing downtime.

For websites catering international clients, your website should be up and running twenty four hours of each day. Unlike an office wherein working hours are restricted to office hours, a website does not have a limit when it comes to availability. It is important that client can reach you and get in touch with you through your website at any given time they desire.

Traffic is very important when you want to measure the effect of your website. The more traffic you have, the more you have reached your goal of getting through your market. If it is always apparent that your website is down, there is no traffic, thereby, no point anymore of having a website in the first place.

Part of having a good quality is being up whenever the search engine tries to explore it. So, when the search engine tries to access your site and it is down, the search engine will take note of it and will give you a low rating; the same will apply if it always up, then the website will be rewarded and will be given a high rating. Search engine ratings are very important because this will be the basis as to whether where you will be located when the results will appear for the users.

A good hosting team can make your website reach its full potential by providing an uninterrupted hosting in the highest possible percentage. Their goal must be to ensure your website's availability and accessibility all the time.
