During a critical Black Friday sale, a small eCommerce store experienced server downtime, losing thousands of Rands in potential revenue. After switching to a hosting provider with a 99.9% uptime guarantee, they haven’t faced a similar issue—and their sales numbers reflect the change.
Uptime guarantee is a hosting feature that ensures your website remains accessible to users as much as possible. Here’s why it’s vital:
- User Experience: Visitors expect your website to be available 24/7. Frequent downtime frustrates users and often leads them to competitors.
- SEO Impact: Search engines like Google penalize websites with poor uptime records, lowering their search rankings.
- Business Continuity: For online stores or service providers, downtime directly translates to lost revenue and missed opportunities.
- Reliability and Trust: Customers associate a reliable website with a reliable business. A site that’s often unavailable can tarnish your reputation.
When choosing a hosting provider, ensure they back their uptime guarantee with robust monitoring systems and compensation policies in case of downtime.
Don’t leave your website’s availability to chance.
