Uptime

server monitor Uptime is one of our biggest priorities. This in mind, we recently undertook the challenge of purchasing a dedicated server. Our new server, which is used to host GracefulHosting clients ONLY, is monitored 24/7 by educated staff who know the ins and outs of hosting. Further more, our server is powered by multiple sources including a backup generator topped off with enough fuel to run for up to two weeks in the event of an emergency. Access to the server is provided by multiple ISPs so if one fails, there are several to fall back on. Chances are, your site will never be down due to server issues and we are glad to stand behind that statement by offering you our 99.9% uptime guarantee. Thats right! If our server is down for more than .1% of the time in any given month, we'll credit that month of service back to your account. Just another way GracefulHosting stands behind the services we offer.
