Hehe - it's an expression, obviously he knows you can't have MORE than 100% uptime. He's stating that hosts that can't offer you complete reliablility shouldn't be used

"he" isn't stating anything, because I would suggest that the OP is simply a shill posting bot, as the same "informative articles" appear at more forums than you can shake a stick at!

And of course there is never an actual reply from said poster!

Well said.

I do not think they are informative at all. They are about common things only. And I do not think they will be useful for everyone.

I think the article is kind of BS. Why the hell would you shop for an ECommerce Host when any reasonable host out there can host your ECommerce site? Get real, my host can host an ECommerce site no biggie...Host Gator can host an ECommerce site no biggie...Even the free web hosts out there can host your ECommerce site.

If this were maybe a multimedia site, then I would set the parameters higher.

Most people who shop for ecommerce hosts don't realize it. They land up paying a premium for a hosting provider that "specializes" in their niche, unaware that basically any hosting provider can suit their needs just fine.

That's exactly what an "ecommerce hosting " article should reveal, instead of platitudes.

I believe they are sort of things everyone knows. I believe also that such kind articles were posted there some time ago.

This special niche premium price people pay is kind of ridiculous. I see mostly new web designers who want to get their portfolio online get lured into this scam a lot. Any host can put their portfolio on the web but they tend to get lured into paying a premium for "Specialized Portfolio" hosting.

What is premium design is about? Can you please elaborate a bit? This is my first time I here about such.

I believe people pay for the "premium" tag only, not for the really better service.
