June 21, 2007; 01:00 AM

Choosing high quality and reliable hosting provider is a tedious process.  Companies looking for good hosting solutions may use websites that provide ISP comparisons by prices and packages, listings of top hosting providers by popularity, different reviews; all of which are customer opinions to assist other customers in finding best hosting providers.   Mon.itor.Us makes the selection process easy by presenting objective ranking based on external monitoring results.

The report was produced based on around 30,000 websites monitored in May, that were grouped by service providers.  60 largest providers were selected for analysis of the aggregated uptime as well as the average performance of their hosted websites. Although individual site’s availability and speed depends on many factors like hardware, application architecture, OS etc., statistically the aggregated uptime objectively demonstrates ISP’s service quality and connectivity. 

The ISPs were ranked by their popularity, performance, and availability. The research published the list of top 20 ISPs in each category. According to Hovhanness Avoyan, the CEO and Founder of Mon.itor.Us, they will continue publishing such kinds of reports periodically: “Mon.itor.Us monitoring coverage is rapidly increasing and more detailed analytics will be available on continuous basis.  By providing free services Mon.itor.US is able to generate unique analytical content, which we again will make available to our community. Our model is based on online advertisement and we are very interested to generate quality and unique content.”
