Uptime & Reliability
Little information available about uptime
This company does not have a clearly stated uptime for their servers. A quick search for information does not bring up any reviews or uptime, either. However, they do not seem to have any negative reviews on their own site or any the few social media sites to which they link, however, with no clearly stated uptime it is slightly concerning what their server uptime is actually like.
