Hosting off peak hours question
We monitor hosts for uptime and webspeed and we going to split our uptime metric into a Uptime During Peak and Uptime During Offpeak to avoid penalizing hosts that have scheduled maintenance during offpeak hours. I'd appreciate some feedback on the hours of the day that each of you would consider "peak". For example, you could say that from 9:00a-6:00p CST is peak and every other hour is less critical. Or, you could say that hosts should only do maintenance from 1:00a-4:00a CST and everything else should be considered peak.
Opinions? Thanks, Rick Ralston

Re: Hosting off peak hours question
You only host local web-sites ?
If not, the clock's 24 hour.

Re: Hosting off peak hours question
Thanks for the reply. Makes sense.
We're looking for a way to differentiate between hosts that actually schedule maintenance downtime, and those that just have downtime. Any ideas on how we could do that other than having two separate metrics?

Re: Hosting off peak hours question
Hello,
as RedSkwirrell says above, it is very difficult, us as web hosts find it difficult to fit in scheduled downtimes when we have clients from all over the world. The ideal solution is to set something up that stops checking up time at scheduled downtimes for each web host, however i understand that this is difficult. Tricky one that is. Scott.

Re: Hosting off peak hours question
Thanks for the feedback! The International angle is important to us also, so your point is well taken. That seems to be the biggest barrier to implementing the two different metrics.
We originally were thinking of using two separate graphs, one for peak and one for off-peak. But deciding what is off-peak is the challenge. Our latest thinking is to give the user the option to pick their off-peak times from a drop down menu and compare hosts accordingly. How does that sound? Rick

Re: Hosting off peak hours question
peak hours is very questionable, but i would say its the time when both the Europeans and Americans are using the web.
american peak 7 PM EST - 11 PM EST Euro Peak 7 PM GMT - 11 PM GMT If your hosting is used by both 2 PM EST - 11 PM ES
