Overland Park, Kansas - (Website Hosting Directory) - July 9, 2008 - Web host and Internet solutions provider, Aplus.Net, has been honored with the number one spot on the Netcraft list, for the month of June, 2008.

This ranking marks the company’s placement as the most reliable hosting company web site, following its second place ranking last month.

Netcraft measures and makes available the response times of fifty leading hosting providers’ sites. The performance measurements are made at fifteen minute intervals from separate points around the internet, and averages are calculated over the immediately preceding 24 hour period.

From a customer’s point of view, the percentage of failed requests is more pertinent than outages on hosting companies’ own sites, as this gives a pointer to reliability of routing, and this is why we choose to rank our table by fewest failed requests, rather than shortest periods of outage.
In March, Aplus.Net awarded for the third time since March 2007, in the number 1 spot on the TopHosts list. Additionally, the company has experienced a continuous presence in the Top 5 ranks of the TopHosts Top 25 Web Hosts for more than four years.
