We all have something else to do. We cannot spend all our time going to our blog and checking your blog uptime status.
Ain’t that the web host’s job?
It’s so easy for us to rely on the web hosts’ uptime capability. Unfortunately for us, web hosts aren’t really 99.99% up. It’s so hard to find an excellent web host nowadays. The next thing we know, a friend or reader informing you of the downtime. Reality speaking, your friend ain’t somebody who’s going to check your site from time to time. He just ain’t paid to. That is our responsibility that we have to do ourselves.
Here’s What I do
I won’t want to push away new readers because of a downtime. Here’s what I do.
- I check my site every morning when I wake up.
- I also check it through the course of the day and approving comments.
- One last check was done at night to make sure it’s up while I sleep.
Lucky for us there is a better solution.
