The time during which your website is operating or can be operated can be said as uptime. If your business depends highly on the web, a downtime can prove harmful to your business.

basically uptime and downtime are the terms related to hosting.

Uptime, a kind of term in web hosting in which you site will be available online without any bugs.

Downtime, where your website is not available due to some error in the server.

Uptime is a very crucial factor while looking for a Hosting provider. Uptime means the time until your website is Live and running, so that different people can access it. Downtime means the time when people are unable to browse your website. You should always look for a Hosting provider who has a good Network and offers a good uptime on the Hosting plans. Your Business will get hampered if you are hosted with a wrong hosting provider whose server and services always keep on failing and that results in downtime of your website.

Hi,

Uptime and Downtime :

Uptime and Downtime is one of the key issues that many website owners face. In simple words uptime is that time period during which your website is fully functional and accessible to everyone, and usable by you, the webmaster. Your goal, as the website owner should be to keep your website always in the uptime period as much and as long as possible.

Downtime :

Downtime, on the other hand refers to the period during which your site becomes inaccessible and unavailable. These figures are generally denoted in percentages.

Hi,thanks for clarifying that information.I understand that every site needs to have downtime for maintenance.The above information is very useful.

It's simple. Uptime = when the site is up, in other words when people can see it if they want. Downtime = when there is some kind of issue and people are unable to view your website.

So the higher the uptime, or lower the downtime, the better.
