The exceptions are Datapipe, <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.datapipe.net&range=86400&collector=all> which is doing a fine job of promoting the reliability of Windows 2003, and German hosting company komplex.net which runs on Linux <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.komplex.net&range=86400&collector=all>. **************************************************************** And the December index had this story somewhere down the page: During November www.nyi.net <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.nyi.net&range=86400&collector=all> was the most reliable hosting company site monitored by us with just one failed request from our five measurement points during the month. New York Internet is the first company to be top of the table for two months, having previously been top in June. Sites running on BSD operating systems occupied six out of the first seven places: Secure Dog Hosting runs OpenBSD <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.secdog.com&range=86400>, while New York Internet <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.nyi.net&range=86400&collector=all>, INetU <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.inetu.net&range=86400&collector=all>, USWest <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.uswest.net&range=86400&collector=all>, IPowerweb <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.ipowerweb.com&range=86400&collector=all>, and Yahoo <http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=webhosting.yahoo.com&range=86400&collector=all> all use FreeBSD. ********************************************************************* Another, as of 1/11/2004 (been there a while, though) from: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2003/08/07/most_reliable_and_fastest_hosting_company_sites_during_july.html Following June, when the top five hosting company sites with fewest failed requests were all running FreeBSD, FreeBSD is again disproportionately represented at the top of the table with five of the top 10 and seven of the top 13 sites running that operating system, but in other respects the Top 10 again come from all segments of the industry from shared hosting through to high end colocation services. Four companies' sites - Cable and Wireless, Pair Networks, New York Internet and about.com were placed in the Top 10 during both June and July. ******************************************************************* HTH, Kevin Kinsey
