San Diego, California - (The Hosting News) - December 21, 2006 - Web host and online presence solutions provider, Aplus.Net, has garnered the ''#1 Shared Hosting Web Speed'' award, from Internet performance web hosting research firm, RealMetrics, LLC, for November 2006. The award distinguishes Aplus.Net as the top web hosting provider in terms of web speed. Aplus.Net also received the RealMetrics award for shared hosting uptime in October 2006, and, as of December 12, was also ranked at first place on the RealMetrics list for both Shared hosting and Dedicated hosting. (Daily rankings fluctuate day-to-day, due to constant measurement). RealMetrics results are based on actual accounts set up with hosting providers, with web speeds tested every 30 minutes from five different locations across the United States. Uptime is tested by frequent loading of the account's http address every 30 seconds, as opposed to the more common and less precise method of "pinging." Support response time is also monitored by submitting a weekly support ticket.Gabriel Murphy, CEO of Aplus.Net offered, ''Aplus.Net is very pleased to receive this recognition from RealMetrics. We work hard to make sure our customers have the very best in uptime and support, and we're happy to see our commitment to excellence validated by an esteemed and independent third party.''Rick Ralston, Chief Executive at RealMetrics added, ''The performance we see from Aplus.Net is solid, month-in and month-out. After winning our October Shared Hosting 100% Uptime award, Aplus.Net turned around and landed our #1 Web Speed award for shared hosting for the second consecutive month.''According to the RealMetrics website, more than 110,000 tests per day are performed on real Shared Hosting accounts.
