Most Reliable Hosting Companies
Take a look at the January 2007 results from Netcraft for the most reliable hosting companies. I subscribe to their newsletter which typically has some fascinating security-related tidbits and this month they highlighted the top 10 hosting companies by stability and uptime. There is a short writeup with the top 10 information and you can gather more detailed information over other ranges of time.
I found this information to be quite interesting. And it’s one of the things I look at most closely when shopping for web hosting. Of course, with 1and1 performing so well by these standards, I may not need to move anywhere at all.
Is your host on the list? :)

liquidweb.com is who we have been using for the past 6 months and they are by far superior to anyone else we have been with. We resell hosting and it makes our life much easier when the host has few issues. I figured liquidweb would be on the top 10, but I would guess they are near the top, farther down than 10. We have had no outages for the time we have been with them and they respond quickly and competently to any request we make.

Jim: Yep. Sometimes the most important evaluation of a host doesn’t come from a list, it comes from first-hand experience. :)
