I have a good experience with RapidVPS (Virtual Private Hosting), no downtime for almost 8 months (since I started hosting with them) now except for the regular maintenance. The support is exceptional, most of the replies were within 1 hour or less during business hours. This is the best hosting I tried so far in 7 years in the field of web development , so I decided to upgrade my hosting from rapidTwo to rapidThree which is more powerful package.
From the first day my site loading speed is okey but weekend traffic is killing my hosting when a large traffic is coming in, it suddenly freezes the server which causes a lost of visitor and revenue, I have to manually restart the apache in order to work. It happen for almost a week though the support is there but they can't detect the problem. What was strange is it never happen on my previous hosting plan.
So for the meantime, i think for the alternative solution. I found a FREE Software that notify you whenever the software detect a downtime so I can manually restart my apache. The software is called "URL Monitoring Tool" by Filesland.com . I also created a music (.wav) file, so it play sound whenever the server is not responding. You can download my .wav file here. You could also set the time to check the site automatically. Some Website monitoring software has a features that log downtime history, email notification and SMS notification but they are not FREE.
So far, my hosting is running smoothly because of the setting they implemented last time I called for the support.
