FastComet Summary Analysis by HRank

The provider is still popular, however, it got only 4.7 HRank rating with us and the 110th position in 2018, 5.7 HRank with 117th position in 2019.

FastComet’s uptime wasn’t stable, or perfect either. The lowest case was registered on 24 Mar 2019, 97.237%.

The average response time of the domains on their shared IPs was around 1,100ms, which is not exactly fast (if compared to other providers). Some of the shared IPs (hosts) were non-responsive for more than a day.

Total number of domains (˜40,000 ) is not changed for the 2019 year.

FastComet is not on our recommendation list.
