Website Uptime means accessibility of the website to the user without interruption. For instance, a hosting provider offers 99.9% means it awaits to be accessible & available 99.9% of the time.

When the website is unavailable or not accessible is referred to as website downtime. For instance, if a website has a downtime(unavailability) of 1% means that the website will be inaccessible or unavailable for 1% time.

Uptime may result in a great user experience and the potential to acquire traffic, revenue, and credibility.

Generally, Web hosting service providers guarantee uptime from 99% to 99.99%.

Low downtime ensures the website is always accessible to users for a more incredible experience.

Website owners need to keep track of their website uptime and try to minimize downtime(interruption), By maintaining it regularly, implementing redundant means, and backing up systems to ensure that the website or service is available as much as possible.

A web server's uptime is the amount of time it has been operating continuously. A percentage is used to represent uptime. It doesn't matter why or how long a server crashes; what matters is that it does occur, which reduces the server's uptime.

The amount of time a server is online and functioning is known as uptime. It is typically a server internal metric, meaning that the server reports it. The percentage of time that a server is accessible for its intended use within a given time period is known as availability.

The majority of cloud companies provide some kind of availability-related Service Level Agreement. Cloud SLAs for Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are set at 99.9%. This is regarded as a very reliable uptime in the market. An even higher standard of excellence is "four nines," or 99.99% uptime.

Why is uptime so crucial?

A web hosting company's service uptime is a good indication of how well it maintains its systems.

If a hosting firm has a high uptime %, which shows that their servers are still running, then any website you host with them should continue to be accessible online.
