Not to mention that often that information simply isn't available. Perhaps some form of "longest outages for websites" post would be possible, though, with the right research. It's an interesting suggestion. @Phil: You're right, that was significant, though perhaps that can't really be called an "outage" per se. It definitely was an "incident" though! We actually wrote about the McColo spam issue here in this blog: http://royal.pingdom.com/2008/11/13/one-single-web-host-was-behind-75-of-all-email-spam/ @Roland: Thank you for the kind words. :)

You should compile something like an top list e.g. sorted by outtage time or impact. I like your blog. If your products are as well as your blog, they must be great.

It just goes to show how fragile our *internet* world is! I had no idea on a lot of these but I do remember wondering last summer what was making everything so slow.
