    Maintenance window for hosting companies?

    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.
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

    5 hours downtime is unacceptable for any reason regardless of time. change hosts.
    History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

              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.

                  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.

                      I don't care who it is, ditch them. They clearly do not value your business.

                              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
