Oct 24, 2008 : Rackspace, ZeroLag Most Reliable: Poll

📅 October 24, 2008 - Hosting companies Rackspace (rackspace.com ) and ZeroLag Communications (zerolag.com ) have been found to have the most reliable home pages in the industry for the month of September, having been the only two sites that responded to each request made by Netcraft's performance survey throughout the month.

This announcement marks Rackspace's first place showing this year, however, the managed hosting firm known for its "fanatical support" has landed on the top ten for three months in a row between April and June, according to Netcraft data.

This is also ZeroLag's first time topping Netcraft's list this year although it was in the top 10 in June and July. ZeroLag offers virtual hosting, dedicated servers and colocation, and also provides T1 and T3 internet connections, web development and security consulting.

Rackspace and ZeroLag stole the top spot from last month's most reliable hosting company site Hurricane Electric (he.net ), which has fallen to seventh place this month.

Rackspace and ZeroLag home pages both run Linux along with two other companies on the top ten. green.ch (green.ch ) uses F5 BIG IP and pair Networks (pair.com ) uses FreeBSD.

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 customeres than shortest periods of outage, according to Netcraft, because it gives a pointer to the reliability of their routing.
