More and more users would get familiarized with how their blogs and sites work under the hood which would make them re-evaluate whether they should switch hosts or not. Especially if they have been growing tired or sick of their hosts intermittent up-times. It’s the only reason why they don’t like the service.

Angelo Racoma has written an interesting piece at the Blog Herald asking if you can be sued for tracking your blog’s uptime. Earlier this month, BlogFlux launched its uptime tracker, which was intended for bloggers to monitor their blog hosts’ uptime. Apparently, hosting company ISPHost.org felt that this was tantamount to an invasion of, or an attack on, their servers. They sent BlogFlux a cease and desist letter. [...] [...] J.

How in the world is a customer supposed to verify they are getting exactly what they paid for? Take the hosting company's word for it? I don't think so. However, the other side of the story could have been that isphost.org might have seen this automated tracking as a DOS attack. Of course, their response to the tracking company indicates that was NOT the case. Lesson learned: if you were thinking about isphost.org as a possible hosting provider, forget it and keep on shopping. Several hosting companies boast about high percentage uptime.

For me, the same goes for blog hosts. They are a service provided and I feel it is my right to check that the service they are providing is the one that they sold to me. I'm pretty sure I've missed something here because I can't, for the life of me, work out what isphost.org were complaining about?
