We’ve published the uptime reports for all the web hosting companies we currently recommend, and we encourage you to check out the posts below for more information on the particular host you are interested in joining.

• Bluehost Uptime – November, 2011
• HostGator Uptime – November, 2011
• InMotion Uptime – November, 2011
• Web Hosting Hub Uptime – November, 2011

The only thing we were disappointed by in November was the performance of our account at InMotion. The site was down on five separate occasions for a total downtime of about an hour and a half. While they still had 99.8% uptime, it was upsetting to see the site go down 5 times in the course of the month.

And to make matters worse, the trend was continuing in December. As we were writing the post about InMotion Hosting’s uptime for November, the site went down again for about 20 minutes.

For the time being, we do not recommend joining InMotion as we want to get to the bottom of what has caused these repeated outages. It could be we are just on a bad server, it could be that someone else on the server is using more than their share of resources, or it could be any number of other things.

The bottom line is that you want a web host that is reliable and there when you need it. HostGator and Bluehost continue to be our two top favorites.
