There isn’t much detail on the uptime you will receive, the type of technology used or where the data centre is located, so you will have to go off online reviews for this service, which again isn’t the biggest source of information to use. Generally we look at the rest of the service levels that they offer, and get an impression from that – with creativeON they leave a good impression for reliability but as we said, there isn’t a lot we can go on here.
