What is SLA? SLA Stands for Service Level Agreement. In the event that the uptime is anything other than what is stated the host will credit the account holder. This credit depends on the terms of the specific host.

Where do this data come from? Besides performance most of the information comes directly from their website. Information that is not directly placed on their website I then followup with the sales chat or use the contact form to ask them for the remaining information I was not able to find.
How do you collect the performance data? Server response times are collected using BitCatcha which allows me to ping the hosts from Sydney. I’ve also listed the locations that each company uses for their data centres or servers. So if your target audience is in Australia then any of these hosts are good to go. Uptime is collected from various places when I first birth these charts. Overtime I ping known IPs that are hosted on the servers of these companies to see if they are “up”. After about a month I then update the uptimes with those results.
