Most Reliable Hosting Company Sites in December 2013, according to Netcraft.
We can then observe that, Qube Managed Services (managed hosting services out of data centers in London, New York and Zurich), had the most reliable hosting company site in December 2013, making December Qube's fourth consecutive month in the top ten after attaining first place in September.
Connectikpeople.co also observes that, Qube and Hosting 4 Less, which placed second, both saw only a single failed request over the month with Hosting 4 Less losing out on the top spot due to a slightly longer average connection time (0.04s vs. 0.12s).
Regarding the Swishmail, it made an appearance at ninth in the table, taking its total number of appearances in the top ten in 2013 to nine. According To Netcraft, this means that both iWeb and Swishmail jointly hold the record for the most frequent appearances
in the top ten in 2013.
If unfamiliar, Connectikpeople.co recalls that, Swishmail provides corporate email services on a FreeBSD platform, while iWeb provides dedicated servers, managed hosting and colocation services on a Linux platform.
WebAir is billed as, the sign off the year, by making its first appearance in the table for 2013, placing sixth. This company offers hosting services out of data centers in Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Montreal and a 'flagship' facility in New York (NY1).
Five of the top ten most reliable hosting company sites were running Linux, while four ran FreeBSD. Server Intellect ran the single Windows Server-based site to complete the list: Windows Server makes a reappearance after not placing in the top ten in November.
