Mar, 2009 : New York Internet Most Reliable Web Host

📅 March 2, 2009 - Web analytics firm Netcraft (netcraft.com) announced on Monday that it found New York Internet (nyi.net) to be the most reliable hosting company site during February.

The web host had failed to respond to only one of the requests made by Netcraft's team throughout the month.

This marks the third consecutive month for New York Internet as Netcraft's most reliable web hosting company.

The company previously shared the top position with Aplus.net and ZeroLag Communications in January, and with WestHost in December.

Rounding out the top five are UK2, Server Intellect, WebFusion and Pair Networks, all of which failed to respond to two requests in February.

Founded in 1996, New York Internet is located in the Wall Street area and owns and maintains its own data centers.

The company offers a range of services including dedicated servers, colocation and virtual web hosting.

New York Internet's main website is served by Apache running on FreeBSD, which is used by two other companies in February's most reliable hosting company sites.

Meanwhile, three of February's most reliable hosting company sites is using Linux while one web hosting site is using Windows Server 2003.

Netcraft measures and posts on its website the response times of the 50 leading hosting providers' sites each month.

The performance measurements are calculated at 15 minute intervals from separate points around the Internet, and averaged over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.
