For websites catering international clients, your website should be up and running twenty four hours of each day. Unlike an office wherein working hours are restricted to office hours, a website does not have a limit when it comes to availability. It is important that client can reach you and get in touch with you through your website at any given time they desire.

This hosting company must be able to ensure highest uptime percentage to your website. Find a company that offers packages that ensure backup in times when an unavoidable situation happens and downtime is uncontrollable. It may be true that there are instances that cannot be controlled, however, being able to fix the problem of malfunctioning or an error occurrence in the shortest possible time must be guaranteed

Web hosting company must ensure that their servers' uptime is continuous with no or at least just a very little percentage of being down. They must do everything to guarantee that making their client's website accessibility and availability is their primary and optimal goal. Although every hosting company promises these in the beginning of every transaction, clients should be very vigilant in knowing that their web host will deliver what they promise to do.
