What is website uptime? Website uptime is the time a web service is available to users at a given time. It is represented as a ratio of the time available divided by the total time. The balance calculates monthly and yearly increments. Monitoring website uptime helps minimize costly downtime by providing timely alerts. Yesmam.net Hosting and Maintenance takes pride in making sure we do our part in making sure we provide 99.9% uptime with our service. There are many reasons why website uptime is essential, and here are a few reasons:

1. Happy Clients

Website uptime is essential because it affects the availability and performance of the site. If your website has downtime, your loyal clients may stay through the erratic availability and slow performance, but your new clients will work with your competitors. Having planned maintenance will help maintain your website and your client’s happiness. 

2. Reputation

The performance of your website can hinder not only your site but also your brand’s reputation. If your website has any outages, it can affect the confidence of your clients. People will always talk, and you want to control what they say about your website and how it runs.

3. Availability and Ranking

You must remember your uptime and downtime are monitored by search engines such as Google. Google examines the content, availability, and page speed of your website. The uptime of your website will also affect your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and your rankings. 

4. Lost Revenue

Revenue keeps your business running. You must maintain the uptime of your website. If your website is down, it can and will affect your revenue. Your future clients and existing clients will re-think their business with you if they can not access your website. As a result of the unavailability of your website, you will lose revenue. Pay close attention to your site’s uptime statistics to maintain your revenue.
