In November 2018, GoDaddy had the most reliable hosting company site, with zero failed requests and the fastest average connection time of 6ms. This is the second consecutive month and the fourth time in 2018 that GoDaddy has taken the top spot. GoDaddy provides a wide range of hosting and domain registration services, including its widely used website builder software, which provides customers with a simple way to create a web presence.
Also achieving zero failed requests this month were EveryCity, Hyve Managed Hosting and Webair, with the tie between them broken by their average connection times of 74ms, 76ms and 80ms respectively. EveryCity offers its own cloud hosting solutions, as well as managed third-party cloud hosting services, including AWS and Azure. Hyve offers fully managed colocation services in 35 worldwide locations and has appeared in the top ten for 20 of the past 24 months.
Linux is the most popular choice of operating system in the top 10 this month, used by seven of the ten sites. Among the remaining sites, FreeBSD appears twice and SmartOS once.
Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of around thirty leading hosting providers’ sites. The performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from separate points around the internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.
From a customer’s point of view, the percentage of failed requests is more pertinent than outages on hosting companies’ own sites, as this gives a pointer to reliability of routing, and this is why we choose to rank our table by fewest failed requests, rather than shortest periods of outage. In the event the number of failed requests are equal then sites are ranked by average connection times.
Information on the measurement process and current measurements is available.
