DreamHost Uptime
Uptime is one of the biggest factors for choosing web hosting service. When I was thinking of subscribing DreamHost service, I tried to check DreamHost uptime but could not find much detailed information on it. Since I was impressed with other reviews available on the Internet for DreamHost, I subscribed to this service.
DreamHost now offers 100% uptime Guarantee. Well, nobody can provide 100% uptime but since DreamHost doesn’t count scheduled maintenance down time for counting uptime, they give 100% uptime guarantee.
