Nov 13, 2008 : Netcraft: green.ch Most Reliable Host

📅 November 13, 2008 - Web analytics firm Netcraft (netcraft.com) announced on Thursday it has listed green.ch (green.ch ) as the most reliable hosting company site for October 2008.

Last month, Netcraft listed web hosting providers Rackspace and ZeroLag Communications as the most reliable sites for September.

Also announced Thursday, Netcraft released a dataset listing the hosting locations of the one million busiest websites on the web, as well as the web hosts that back these popular websites.

According to Netcraft, green.ch is the only site that responded to every request made by the firm's performance collectors throughout October. The Swiss Internet service provider has more than 70,000 customers making it one of the largest ISPs for small and medium sized businesses in its country.

Originally called agri.ch, the company emerged from a management buyout of the SME and private customer division of Cable & Wireless. The ISP provides broadband Internet access, while providing web hosting, email, SharePoint and VoIP telephony solutions out of its Switzerland data center.

Green.ch uses Microsoft IIS 6.0 to serve its main site via an F5 BIG-IP device, which it uses for over 90 percent of its customers' websites. The company hosts more sites on F5 BIG-IP than any other web host in Switzerland.

Linux is used by five of October's top ten hosting companies, while two use FreeBSD and Go Daddy uses Windows Server 2003.

New York Internet (nyi.net), which uses FreeBSD, was the second most reliable hosting site, followed by Rackspace (rackspace.com ) which uses Linux, ReliableServers.com (reliableservers.com -> vultr.com) whose platform is unknown, and Linux-run he.com (he.net ) as the fifth most reliable hosting site.

The full list can be viewed on Netcraft's website here.

Netcraft measures and posts the response times of 50 leading hosting providers' sites. The performance measurements are made at 15 minute intervals from separate points around the Internet, while averages are calculated over the following 24 hour period.
