Newcastle Uptime was 100%

Starting this month (February 2011) I will be posting network uptime stats for each of our three datacentres so that our clients (and potential clients) have an idea how well we perform.  I will also include notes explaining any planned outage as we do also include those when counting downtime.  It's worth mentioning at this point that we have kept stats of our network for quite some time and have consistently beaten our own 99.9% up time promise:

Colocation allows you to have a server of your own specification housed in our racks. This works out much cheaper than renting a dedicated server but does come with some pitfalls, a good example being hardware failure. Most datacentres will not keep spares for you so you must supply spares and also pay for engineer time.
