Re: [nyphp-talk] OT: Recommendations for web hosting services with extremely good uptimes?

Using Softlayer for my customers and for myself almost a year now. They have 99.9% uptime SLA. There are 1~10 minutes of scheduled maintenance down times in every 3-4 months. Most of them takes less than 5 minutes. Network is amazing, staff is professional and prices are cheap. You can get a pretty

Hi Nelly, Have you looked into PEAR's Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer? I haven't used it myself, but perhaps you can have more control over cell types if you generate a native excel file rather than a csv file. http://pear.php.net/package/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer -- Dell On Nov 14, 2006, at 12:32

I just reread your question. Yes, in an Excel cell you can put a single quote in front of something and it is then treated as text, but I don't know if that works in a CSV file. Sorry for any confusion. -martin. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Beh

You have to make sure the zip code data is imported to Excel as text. By default Excel will treat is as a number and will therefore drop any leading zeroes. Hope this helps ... -martin. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nelly Yusupova Sent

Hi, I host my own server and since CL&P is still running the same grid as Edison himself put it in, power is on and off quite a bit. I bought to UPS to compensate for that. If you don't want to bother with self-hosting, look at places in Western Europe (e. g. Germany). Power is far more reliabl

I was always happy with Pair Networks uptime. I think maybe there was a couple minutes of downtime that I noticed once in the 5 years I've had a shared hosting account with them. Here's their statement: "Our network is monitored and maintained 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our server

It can have great prices, fast machines with tons of disk space, wonderful customer service and be totally Linux friendly, but if they are down 40 minutes or so at random times it isn't acceptable to an online catalog web site. While a promise of an uptime of 99% sounds near perfect, 1% downtim
