While this month's spotlight was split eight ways, it shone brighter on DataPipe and Aplus.net, which recorded the best average connection time. Both use FreeBSD for their main websites. Having previously topped Netcraft's reliability surveys, DataPipe was recently named one of New Jersey's fastest growing companies.
This chart, taken from Netcraft's website, shows small variations between the top web hosting corporate sites.
Linux is used by four of November's most reliable hosting companies, including Montreal-based iWeb, which has been providing Internet hosting for 12 years and most recently agreed to host a major ice hockey team, the Canadiens. Also using Linux was WestHost, which was bought by the UK2 Group in November. Linux is also used by Hurricane Electric and Tiscali, which have both already been featured as the most reliable hosting companies earlier this year.
Shared, dedicated and virtual hosting provider Server Intellect and Canada Web Hosting use Windows Server 2003 to power their main sites, however, they also offer managed hosting on both Windows and Linux.
Netcraft's ranking system is based on the number of failed requests. With performance measurements are made at 15-minute intervals from separate points on the globe, Netcraft measures the response times and averages the results each day. The percentage of failed requests is more important to customers than shortest periods of outage, according to Netcraft, because it gives a pointer to the reliability of their routing.
