The developer for AthensGuy.com Web Hosting, Patrick MacDonald, worked for several large ISPs (BellSouth.net and Cox Communications) over many years. He understands the Internet and had seen first hand what technologies help reliability and which ones often hurt it. We are up over 99.9% of the time, that includes scheduled midnight maintenance. For more information about how we keep reliable web hosting services, see our article about our redundant data centers.
