Short answer
99.99% uptime means your website is online 99.99% of the time: at most about 4 minutes and 23 seconds of downtime a month, or about 53 minutes a year. Hostnali guarantees 99.99% uptime on its hosting.
Uptime in minutes
| Uptime | Downtime per month | Downtime per year |
|---|---|---|
| 99% | about 7 hours 18 minutes | about 3 days 15 hours |
| 99.9% | about 44 minutes | about 8 hours 46 minutes |
| 99.99% | about 4 minutes 23 seconds | about 53 minutes |
The difference between 99.9% and 99.99% looks small, but it’s ten times less downtime.
What keeps a website up
- Reliable data centres with backup power and several network connections.
- Servers with redundant storage, so one failed drive doesn’t take sites offline.
- Monitoring around the clock, so problems are fixed before most visitors notice.
What uptime doesn’t cover
Planned maintenance announced in advance, and problems caused inside a website (for example a broken plugin) usually don’t count as downtime. Daily backups help with the second.
