Maintenance window for hosting companies? - GoFuckYourself.com

Mutt · 07-09-2010, 11:58 PM

i'm really mystified by this - my sites are down since about 10-11pm - not a surprise since the hosting company did send out a notification. but why would any hosting company choose to do maintenance between 10-11PM Eastern time to 4AM - which is prime time for sales. the maintenance window should be after 4 AM in the East until mid morning - not many sales come in during that time frame.

5 hours downtime is unacceptable for any reason regardless of time. change hosts.

Mutt · 07-10-2010, 12:27 AM

approaching 5 hours now.

Mutt · 07-10-2010, 03:05 AM

7 hours plus

Madness foo.

What host?

alias · 07-10-2010, 04:05 AM

That window favors their employee's hours. Might be a good thing since you don't really want burned out guys fucking up if it is "too late".

Find a better host, this one sucks badly.
No host should make a site go down longer then a few minutes unless there was an earthquake. I would move today.

Mutt · 07-10-2010, 04:56 AM

9 hours and counting.

well i planned to work on that server overnight but i have other sites on other hosts so i have used the downtime to work on them.

Thread is useless if you don't post the host.

time to move to a new host... I'd tell you to go with Host Head... but that is just me...

Agent 488 · 07-10-2010, 06:15 PM

go with webair.

NaughtyRob · 07-10-2010, 06:16 PM

Typically they are done from like 1 am until 3 am something like that.

sandman! · 07-10-2010, 08:16 PM

there is no maintenance that should take more then 2 hours.

and when i say 2 hours i mean some major shit being upgraded / replaced.

which host is this ?

There's a difference between 'maintenance' and 'downtime'...

Our server is usually down for half hour maximum when maintenaince is going on & usually they ask when is appropriate.

I suggest you look elsewhere
