Yes, they're important
- I started a long time ago with a host that guaranteed 95% uptime, but then I realized that that was really low. So I switched to a provider that offered 99.9% upteime. Of course, now there are sites that offer 5-nines or 99.999% uptime, but I don't make enough money from my sites to need that.
