Hi -
Yesterday one of my sites was down for 8 to 9 hours due to an issue on the hosting side. That is an unacceptable level of downtime for me, but it is the first significant (maybe only) incident of that nature in a year. I just wondered from other people's experience what a reasonable level of expectation is from your hosting company - do they all experience some downtime, or is 8 to 9 hours in one day once a year totally off the scale?
Also, does anyone know the likely impact on rankings? Would one outage like that impact traffic? I feel I've taken a bit of a hit today, possibly as google has lost a bit of confidence in that site.
Thanks for any advice, comments.
Mark
