Aruba offers hosting, cloud and digital signature services, fiber optic internet, long-term digital preservation and much more with data centers across Europe in the UK, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy and France. The top 9 hosting company sites each responded to all requests from Netcraft and were separated by average connection time.
rackspace finished second, retained second place on the podium for the third straight month, and finished in the top two for the fifth straight month. The company offers a variety of cloud hosting solutions from 19 data centers on five different continents in America, Europe, Asia and Australia. On the third place Big step provides bare metal hosting solutions from data centers in the UK and Romania with additional facilities in North America and Europe for project delivery.
Nine of the top 10 hosting company websites used Linux in February, with the operating system continuing its dominance of the chart. Swishmail uses an unidentified operating system.
Netcraft measures and provides the response times of around twenty websites from leading hosting providers. Power measurements are taken at 15-minute intervals from various points on the Internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hours.
From a customer perspective, the percentage of failed requests is more meaningful than outages on hosting companies’ own websites, as it gives an indication of the reliability of the routing, and so we decided to rank our table by fewest failed requests rather than lowest downtime . If the number of failed requests is the same, the sites are ranked by average connection times.
Information on the measurement process and current measurements available.
