the problem is the host should have very good monitoring.
because sometimes individual domains may be up in a ping test, but actually be bogged down by perl processes or MySQL or php errors and you can't tell it---but your pages aren't loading fast enough for your surfers---and you wonder why your sales are off---lots of time your hardware ain't performing as it should.
for the webmaster who is always working on a broadband connection sometimes it is impossible to gauge your server's actual performance---do a test with dialup speeds---this is where you can make or break many signups---even dialup surfers won't wait, they will only join a fast website, and they are the majority of surfers in the world.
i would like to find a reliable FAST host who has the sophistication to actually monitor individual server performance in real time.
it seems like this would be a no-brainer, and a really strong selling tool for new clients.
if i was running a webhost i would put system-wide real time diagnostics on every box and have a kid monitoring it 24/7.
the WTF do i know.
