Secure hosting specialist, DITSCAP certified Secure Dog Hosting became the first hosting company to have its site run a complete calander month without a single request from any of our five performance monitoring machines failing. This speaks strongly for its routing providers, and the generally benign conditions on the Internet over the last month as well as for the stability and responsiveness of its own infrastructure.

Sites running on BSD operating systems occupied the first four places: Secure Dog Hosting runs OpenBSD, Pair Networks, INetU, and IPowerweb all use FreeBSD. The top placed European company site was Energis, who provide the connectivity for Netcraft's own web sites. None of the performance measurement points is on Energis' network.

Netcraft measure and makes available the response times of fifty three leading hosting providers' sites The performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from four separate points around the internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.
