[wp-hackers] WordPress centric hosting

[John Watson]

I wouldn't say uptime guarantees are meaningless.  I'd much rather go
with a host with 99.999% guaranteed uptime than 99%.  I will grant you
that 99% uptime guarantees are a bit misleading, if you don't do the
math.  99% uptime equates to 1% allowed downtime.  That's up to 7
hours of down time in a 30 day month.  99.9% = 43 minutes.
