Recently there was news about downtime of many hosts and probably many servers were affected as well. Even I had a website on a host who recently faced a downtime on the server because of the crashed hard disk and network failure. This led to my site being down for more than two days. It not only made me furious about the hosting because , I was not informed about the hard disk crash or even downtime by the hosts so , I tried to find out a managed services
guys who can manage my servers , so that in case of any downtime , I would be able to switch hosts and probably I can get my website back online.
This is not only the case , certain web hosts also need to focus on the pci compliance , issues which were recently issued by Visa and MasterCard so that the information of the credit card holder is not compromised and is not released to anyone unauthorized. So , in order to get more out of the Payment Card Industry Compliance solutions we should be well aware of the hosting solutions that company provide.
