Uptime and Downtime are the main factors for any websites success. If the website is a mission critical one or an e-commerce site then uptime and downtime should considered to be most important when looking for a web hosting service provider. It is important that the web hosting provider offers maximum uptime of their servers. This means that, your website is up and running/functional for almost any point of time to be accessible by visitors.
More uptime means more visitors, and more visitors means more conversion rate.
An uptime guarantee of 99.5 – 99.99% can be taken to be realistic and can be considered to be very good in most cases.
