We are monitoring the uptime of this site through a service called siteuptime.com. This monitoring commenced on 24 Feb 2009.
To get full statistics of this site's uptime, visit http://www.siteuptime.com/statistics.php?Id=29330&&UserId=11516 and you will be taken to a live report of the uptime. While not being a perfect judge of BlueHosts's uptime as whole, checking the uptime of this site (which is hosted on BlueHost) can give a good indication of BlueHost's overall uptime.
BlueHost offers an affordable hosting solution that does not sacrifice reliability or performance. Customers can rely on reliable uptime whenever hosting with BlueHost. In fact, their average uptime this year to date is 99.98%. This is better than many other shared hosting providers in the market. There were several months this year when BlueHost had an uptime of 100%.
All BlueHost customers receive a 99.9% uptime guarantee with their hosting plan. BlueHost has established a world-class infrastructure making it possible to guarantee such a high uptime percentage. Of course there is always the possibility that some factor beyond the control of the BlueHost Company will result in more downtime. Fortunately, this does not occur too often. Upgrades and maintenance downtime are acceptable and do not impact the uptime guarantee.
It is possible to receive a refund from BlueHost if a customer is not satisfied with their level of uptime. BlueHost offers several payment options upon signing up for services. There is no month to month option but rather prepayment choices of three, six, twelve and twenty-four months. Customers who make the decision to cancel their hosting plan after thirty days have passed, will receive a prorated refund based upon how many months of service are remaining. Many other hosting companies do not offer any amount of refund after thirty days.
When considering uptime, it is important to consider not only the uptime of the network but also that of the servers. BlueHost uses Linux based servers for their hosting products. Linux is often considered to be more stable and often able to offer a higher level of performance and uptime. Only the highest quality servers are found at BlueHost. Uptime is further enhanced due to server monitoring and other features of the excellent data center.
Server downtime can still occur even with all the precautions that are in place. Sometimes the server is overworked due to the number of people visiting websites on that server. Even with all the security measures in place there is also the possibility for breaches in security. On rare occasions a problem with the server itself arises. Most times BlueHost is still able to minimize server downtime with many problems being solved in less than fifteen minutes. In fact, BlueHost designs their own services and can pinpoint and repair most problems within minutes.

BlueHost
Uptime Summary
Every
business requires
reliable uptime
to make everything
get on track.
Customers of BlueHost
rely mainly of
BlueHost Uptime
since it doesn’t
fail to provide
credible web hosting
services. For
the record, Uptime
is defined as
a period of time
when something
(in this case
the period of
hosting received)
is working and
is accessible
for use.
Though
it may sound overstated
in spite of its
truthfulness,
the average BlueHost
Uptime up to the
present is 99.98
per cent. In fact,
there was a time
that the standard
BlueHost Uptime
was 100 per cent.
There
is no exception
when BlueHost
says that all
their customers
are provided with
99.9 per cent
uptime guarantee.
This is no surprise
since BlueHost
has successfully
launched one of
the finest infrastructures
in web hosting
history. The high
uptime percentage
of BlueHost however
is not an assurance
that there wouldn’t
be any occurrence
of BlueHost downtime,
but this rarely
happens. There
are upgrades and
maintenance downtime
but they don’t
have a great impact
in the overall
average BlueHost
Uptime that customers
receive.
The
good news for
those clients
who didn’t
get satisfied
with their average
BlueHost Uptime
is that: customers
can still receive
prorated refund
which mainly depends
on the remaining
services they
have. This opportunity
that customers
receive seems
to be an exclusive
offer of BlueHost.
To
assure the clients
of a great uptime
and to prevent
refund, BlueHost
employs Linux
servers which
are known for
uptime stability
and high level
of performance.
So, customers
need not worry
about encountering
downtime since
all BlueHost Servers
are known for
their high quality.
