My hosting provider gives me 99% uptime and as said that 1% sometimes happened to my sites and goes offline, is there anyway to prevent this, like whenever my hosting goes down any alternate way to automatically changes to another server and makes the site available 100% to my visitors?

They are 100% uptime but they have to say 99.9 % to remain on safe side..
You wont loose any visitor during that 0.01% downtime :D

My hosting says 98% and in my first week with them my site was down 5 out of those 7... but they have been up since :) That was back in november...

99% is fine.. you won't lose anything in that 1% unless it drags out for some reason!

There is no such thing as 100% uptime. At least not in my experience. I have used a lot of hosts and I have never found 100% uptime =\

They normally say 99% or 99.99% because the rest is for maintenance like server restart etc.

99.999% is all just but hoax. The reliable serveres are in the range of 99.7 to 99.85 which means you have just 30 mins of downtim in reality of a year. which should be OK.
Get one such Host but to find one is real hard though :D

You can take another hosting package and add more name servers in your domain control panel. It works, especially if your website earns enough.

Monitor services doesn't work quite well. My apache was down for a few hours and the monitor said: uptime: 100%.

//This happend a while back, don't think I am a bad hoster :p.

Your hosting seems fine. They say 99.9 to be safe but I havent had any downtime in the last year or so:)

Yes, there is no such thing as 100% uptime. I can always h4x0r your site and bring it down. :D:D:D:D

Theoretically you could run a monitor on another machine that detects when your site goes down and then automatically changes DNS records to point to a new site.

But DNS changes take time to propagate through the Internet (up to four hours), so you'd still have some downtime. Ultimately, it isn't really worth it.

If you find your site being down more often than you're comfortable with, changing hosts is your best solution.

Nobody will provide you with the hosting with 100% uptime. Even if any company writes on its site that it providres 100% uptome (though I haven't seen such site yet), they won't be able to provide u with such stability.

The DNS load balancing might get you 100% uptime but only really large companies use it and its gonna cost a lot. Being properly implemented, it will direct visitors to different servers, so, for example, if server1 is down there are server2 and server3. More servers = closer to 100% (all 3 servers will be down only if attacked for example).

I think AKAMAI do that for large sites but it costs a lot.
