Question about quality of host

[Alert]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I couldn't decide.

 

Anyway, I would like to know, (specifically from people with a plan) how good the uptime is for the free plan. I want to use the mysql database for another site to access, so I was wondering if it had really good uptime for that?

 

I know I have heard that it does have good uptime in the past. Thanks a bunch.

There is the server's uptime statistics. As of writing, HN is at 98.686% uptime.

Thanks!

No problem. As far as I know, since HN got a new server, this place has barely been down. If it does go down, there'll be a very good reason for it.

I am not sure if you can host a MySql Database here and access it from another site. It's possible. If you are going to do that, cant the server the site that is going to access the database is on host it's own database?

Just to let you know, you have to host a site on HH if you are going to use the Ads plan - either that or put or ads on all your sites' pages.

Heliohost has never crashed for me yet, it is quite fast, and yes, the setup is great. So the quality is great, so you don't need to worry.

The only time i have had any issues was when djbob switched servers and the ip's changed, but i think that most of it was caused by my old web provider.

And then again, all the downtime was because of server changing... and server changing means better servers right?

Also, if you want to use a mysql database for another site, consider sites like freemysql.net (MySQL 4) or db4free.net (MySQL 5).
