Today, hosting services are provided by hundreds of companies. Out of a huge number of offers, it's important to find the organization whose price and quality will completely match your preferences.
When choosing a hosting provider, it's especially recommended to pay attention to the uptime of the servers, which is considered one of the most important criteria. Uptime is the percentage of time the servers operate without problems. This metric shows how often the provider has technical issues and how they are resolved. Ideally, we would want 100%, but in practice, this cannot be guaranteed. Today, a value from 99% is accepted. When viewing statistics, make sure you received information from the server that will be provided to you.
