November 24th, 2003 – Modwest today announced the availability of a service status page, http://status.modwest.com, which is updated automatically every five minutes with daily, weekly, and monthly uptime data for a variety of Modwest’s services. Visitors can view performance information for websites, email, databases, and file transfer connections.

The new site is hosted in a different facility than Modwest’s core hosting infrastructure to ensure maximum report availability.

Modwest co-founder and VP John Masterson remarked: “Our service reliability has been historically excellent, and we’ve been eager to publish the specific metrics. In an industry littered with unsubstantiated claims of 99.9% uptime, we believe our customers will appreciate having access to Modwest’s actual service reliability data.”

Modwest’s advanced web hosting system is load-balanced across numerous servers, enhancing service reliability and significantly reducing management time for Modwest technicians.
