It seems they were speaking the truth when claiming that most of downtime will be fixed within 15 minutes. There were two instances of downtime, both due to bad gateway, but none lasted more than five minutes. Or it could be a bit more modest 99.9%? Nevertheless, the uptime test performed by UptimeRobot on HostMonster’s main website for more than a month presented us with pretty good results. Instead of dealing with a specific percentage value, HostMonster promises a “maximum guaranteed uptime”, so we can only assume they imply a 100% uptime guarantee. Subsequently, the website's speed was ranked with a firm C (78%), which may not be ideal, but it is certainly far from a poor performance. Additionally, it took 48 requests, which still looks good in comparison to the average of 89. The website took 4.9 seconds to fully load, which is twice as fast as the average result of 8.1.

As expected, for the triennial one you’ll pay a dollar less per month than with biennial one and two dollars less than with the annual one.
