How often does your host do maintenance?

Man it seems like my host is always doing maintenance and they always need to do something. It seems like once a week they need to update the network. The maintenance they do usually takes 3-5 hours. How often should a host do maintenance?

Thanks,
Mark

a host will do maintenance daily but it should never affect clients...the only time clients should notice something is if there is third party maintenace that is not always easy to avoid but if your with a good datacentre and good bandwidth provider normally they setup things correctly the first time and things are fine from there

the perfect host will setup a client and the client should be able to go with out ever needing to contact support accept for when they need domains or emails added thats what my host aims for anyway

I can count my total hours 'completely down time' since 1995 on my fingers with a few missing.

Um yeah we were never ever down until this bigger company bought the hosting company we were with in January 2003. Now it has been network maintenance 4 times in just 3 weeks this is just ridiculous.

Please list any suggestions for hosting companies, we have a year contract with our current host but fuck it.

Thanks,
Mark
