Recent posts at famous Max Limpag’s blog http://max.limpag.com/2006/11/09/media-temple-delivers-uptime-promise/ and http://max.limpag.com/2006/08/15/compare-web-hosting-providers/ show interesting trend – using mon.itor.us to check ISP to select the best one. Here is a fragment from his post: “Many hosting providers have claims of “99.9% uptime guarantee.” I don’t know if they actually meet this performance level but there is an easy and automated way to check for the performance of sites hosted in their servers. For the monitoring, use mon.itor.us, a free distributed website monitoring service.”

So before signing a contract with an ISP to rent a server you can watch its performance over some time and see if the ISP’s claimed uptime and performance is real and you will make better choice then.
