Website availability

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council would like to make its website available all of the time! Unfortunately there are a number of reasons which sometimes mean that we are not able to achieve this. Our target, then, is to have our site available for use 99.2% of the time, which equates to less than 1 1/2 hours per month for updates and maintennce.

Website availability and performance

The availability and performance of this website is monitored by a private monitoring organisation which provides constant reports. The table below gives the percentage of time that this website has been available (also called uptime) for a particular month. The percentage is calculated by three monitoring agents on different network nodes throughout the United Kingdom. These provide objective, redundant reporting from all three perspectives. This monitoring happens every 15 minutes every day. Any failures are further verified by other monitors to avoid false alarms.
