How Much Downtime Are You Actually Getting?
Why Uptime Isn’t Just a Number
Uptime isn’t just a bragging right—it’s the difference between a functioning business and a digital ghost town. While 99.9% uptime might sound impressive, that tiny sliver of downtime adds up to over 8 hours a year—an entire workday where your website could be offline, losing traffic, customers, and credibility. The higher your uptime, the less your users even think about it—which is exactly how it should be. Every minute your site’s down, visitors vanish, conversions die quietly, and your brand looks like it’s powered by guesswork. Knowing your uptime isn’t just about tech—it’s about trust.
Proof? You’re Already Looking At It.
Since launching in July 2020, Hostgard.net has maintained 100% uptime. Not a single incident. Not a single minute down. That’s over four years of uninterrupted service—and yes, we’re bragging. The very page you’re reading right now is hosted on the same infrastructure we offer to clients. While other providers love to promise reliability, we deliver it—and we’ve got the receipts.
Go ahead. Ask your current host if they can match that.
| Uptime Percentage | Downtime Per Year | Downtime Per Month | Downtime Per Week |
|---|---|---|---|
| 99% | ~3.65 days | ~7.2 hours | ~1.68 hours |
| 99.9% | ~8.76 hours | ~43.8 minutes | ~10.1 minutes |
| 99.99% | ~52.6 minutes | ~4.32 minutes | ~1.01 minutes |
| 99.999% | ~5.26 minutes | ~25.9 seconds | ~6.05 seconds |
Even 99.9% uptime means almost 9 hours of downtime every year. Are you okay with that? Because your visitors probably aren’t.

At Hostgard, uptime isn’t a feature—it’s the foundation. When your website goes down, you lose more than traffic. You lose trust. That’s why we built our hosting platform with uptime as the first priority, not an afterthought.
Here’s what keeps your site standing:
Load-Balanced Architecture
Your traffic doesn’t depend on a single point of failure. Our systems intelligently distribute load, keeping your site smooth and stable even during traffic spikes.DDoS Protection at the Edge
Automated security layers block malicious traffic before it reaches your site. You’re protected 24/7 against common threats—because stress shouldn’t come standard.Proactive Monitoring
We don’t wait for issues. We track server health, performance, and availability every minute of every day. If something’s off, we know before you do.Auto-Healing Infrastructure
Our systems can recover automatically from hardware-level issues without taking your site offline. Think of it as self-repairing uptime armor.Human Support That Actually Helps
Real experts. No scripts. No bots. Just responsive, skilled humans who care about keeping your site online—and fast.
Your uptime matters. That’s why Hostgard doesn’t just meet industry standards—we aim to embarrass them.
Uptime refers to the amount of time your website is accessible and functioning properly. It’s measured as a percentage of total time—so 99.9% uptime means your site is online 99.9% of the time. The other 0.1%? That’s when things are going very, very wrong.
Anything below 99.9% is risky territory. Most quality hosts aim for 99.9% or higher. At Hostgard, we aim higher—our infrastructure is built for 99.99% and beyond. Because 8 hours of downtime a year is still 8 hours too many.
Downtime = lost traffic, lost sales, lost trust. Whether you run an e-commerce store or a personal portfolio, being offline makes your visitors wonder if your site is abandoned—or worse, broken.
Yes. You can use tools like UptimeRobot, Better Uptime, or Pingdom to monitor your site’s availability. Or, you know… just host with us and not worry about it.
Our infrastructure uses load-balancing, automated failover, constant monitoring, and hardened security layers. Also, we treat uptime like sacred ground. We don’t gamble with your website’s availability.
Bonus: Monitor Your Uptime Like a Pro
Want to keep an eye on your website’s uptime—even if you’re already hosting with us? Good. You should. Uptime monitoring gives you peace of mind and early warnings if anything goes wrong (not that it will, but hey, we love a good backup plan).
That’s why we recommend UptimeRobot—a powerful, free tool that checks your site every few minutes and notifies you the moment something’s off. It’s fast, reliable, and doesn’t bury you in settings you’ll never use.
Pro Tip: We use it ourselves. That zero-downtime record? Yeah, it’s been tracked since day one.
