Web Hosting Strategies

Analysis and review of the web hosting and managed services industry by Doug Kaye.

The Cost of Downtime. It's in a Special Advertising Supplement in the January/February issue of Baseline Magazine, and the numbers may be somewhat self-serving, coming from the Association of Contingency Planners, but it reminds me that everyone should have an idea of their cost of downtime. Here are their numbers per hour:

  • Financial services/brokerage: $6.4 million
  • Credit card processing: $2.6 million
  • Pay-per-view TV: $150,000
  • Airline reservations: $89,000
  • Package shipping: $28,000
