(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Managed hosting and application management solutions NaviSite (www.navisite.com) had the most reliable hosting company site for the month of February according to a monthly survey from Internet research and security firm Netcraft.
According to its announcement this week, NaviSite, which uses Apache on CentOS to run its own website, responded to all of Netcraft’s requests in February. This month, NaviSite announced it would be selling its Lawson/Kronos Managed Application Service business in an effort to re-focus on its enterprise-class cloud solutions for large organisations with complex environments.
DataPipe was the second most reliable hosting company site in February, responding to all but one of Netcraft’s requests. using Apache on FreeBSD to run their own website, DataPipe provides custom managed hosting solutions for businesses with complex Internet facing infrastructures with over 1,000 customers in seven data centers across the US, Europe and China.
Including NaviSite, six of the top 10 sites in February were identified as running Linux. Of the remaining identifiable hosts, two ran FreeBSD and one ran Windows Server 2008.
Netcraft measures the response times of forty top hosting providers’ sites at 15 minute intervals from separate points around the Internet. Netcraft’s ranking system is based on the number of failed requests, with results averaged over each day. According to Netcraft, the percentage of failed requests is more important to customers than shortest periods of outage, because it gives a pointer to the reliability of their routing.
