A high availability website is not all about expensive redundant hardware with top of the line load balancers and an enterprise class SAN. There are several cheap or free steps you can take to ensure uptime; in fact if you’re not taking these steps you are wasting your money on your redundant hardware. See my article on Think Vitamin for my top five things that bring sites down, and what you can do about them.

The uptime of a site like Huddle.net is of vitally important, so I was pleased to see that recent performance hit 99.99%  - four nines. See my recent post on the Huddle blog for more details.
