99.9% Uptime
≈ 43.8 minutes/month
This level of availability is common for commercial hosting services.
99.99% Uptime
≈ 4.38 minutes/month
Often referred to as 'four nines,' this is expected for high-availability systems.
99.999% Uptime

Uptime refers to the time a service is available and operational. It's typically measured as a percentage of total time.
Downtime is the period when a service is unavailable or not functioning as intended. This could be due to maintenance, failures, or other issues.
For most business services, 99.9% uptime is considered good. Mission-critical systems often aim for 99.999% ("five nines") or better.
Uptime is crucial for business continuity, user satisfaction, and maintaining service level agreements (SLAs). Even small amounts of downtime can have significant impacts on operations and revenue.
