Over the past year, I purchased several VPS instances through two of the more "noticably undesirable" providers, specifically Chicago VPS and GreenValueHost.
I decided to set them up with Uptime Hosting to see over several months what the availability would be.
For comparison, I also included stats from my paid DreamHost Web Hosting account through which I host several personal and client Web sites. I figure that this is a good example of what commercial Web hosting can provide.
Note #1: All of my VPS instances are currently being used ONLY for personal use. I do not have any client services running on any of these. Only DreamHost hosts my client sites.
Note #2: All GVH VPS instances were created through a reseller account that I purchased at an absurdly low price. I distributed them across the country to try to account for latency.
Note #3: The smallest monitoring interval at Uptime Robot's free service is 5 minutes, so it's the best I can do given that limitation. I acknowledge that a 5 minute interval does not give a complete uptime picture, but over time, I feel that it does give me a decent overview of general service availability given the nature of the VPS instances, and given that the Uptime Robot is free.
Here is Uptime Robot's Summary page showing the current and past 24 hour status:
The first entry is really for comparison. It is my Web Hosting at DreamHost that I use for most personal and client Web sites. It has been up for about 13 days:
The second entry is a VPS hosted with ChicagoVPS, up for 90 days:
The third entry is a VPS in Atlanta hosted with GVH, up for 10 days:
The fourth entry is a VPS in Los Angeles hosted with GVH, up for 43 days:
The fifth entry is a VPS in New York hosted with GVH, up for 43 days:
IN keeping with the New Year's theme, let the fireworks begin!
