Report for 2018
- HostColor.com got 4.4 HRank and became #138 in 2018.
- Uptime chart reveals a very long period: full 2 months (October 23 – December 24) of very bad downtime. Average range at that period was ~69%-76%-86%. This resulted in the overall rank, of course.
- Response time chart looks interesting as well. There were no such periods as with uptime, however, the range was broad – 300-700ms and there was one very slow case of 3,227ms.
- Sites chart reveals more or less stable picture with regard to a number of Shared IPs and domains until the end of December. Then 1 Shared IP was lost and about 100 websites were gone as well. Perhaps, it was the result of 2 months of downtime we mentioned earlier.
