Except that not all blogs are personal blogs...ex: <a class="user" href="http://www.pocketsynch.com">http://www.pocketsynch.com</a> A lot of sites that give great up to date info on all types of subjects are in blog format.Hell half the news sites out there are actually blogs, only difference is they're not running wordpress...

Not to be rude, but either you overlooked it (or like me you highly doubt it):"We use 23 different servers located around the world to make sure you are accessible everywhere"I agree, We use a pay-for service for our servers and sometimes a connection between one of the check servers and ours goes down but not the actual server or connection to our server so we get false down time.

It's mostly pointless to track this, unless you are thinking of switching hosts. At least with my host, they said that they would refund me for downtime beyond that allowed by 99.999%. So, I was reimbursed for 1 hour of downtime time or $0.70. Yippee!

It isn't about getting credit, in an online market place being down is not acceptable. Being down costs money, not just in lost sales but in a PPC market, like Google Adwords and similar you are paying for traffic you arn't getting.Who's to blame, your host provider or your server? If it's you server it's time for new IT department and if it's the host time to move the server.

Well, perhaps the 0.001 is network-down time, it wouldn't be hard to have multiple machines in an HA-cluster : that way you could reboot/power-off one machine, and still have the website accessible, then when the other machine is back-up, do the same with the other machines. It'd make sense particularly on shared-hosting servers, where taking one machine offline could take down many sites
