Many companies offer it, very few actually meet it when it comes to crunch time. Quite often you will find that "network outages" and so forth are not part of getting a refund in the small print. Many offer the guarentee, but probably issue very few to almost no refunds actually following it out.

The downtime of 1 hour or 2 hour in a month will make
99.9 % uptime
Those company offering like that gives 99.9 % uptime
As you said not all the company's offering that......
Only few good hosting company only offering that......
But it's a practically possible one and lot of them absorbing that from their host.

The real truth about the uptime %
99.999% Uptime
Less than a minute down a month
5 minutes down in 365 days
99.99% Uptime
4 minutes down in a 30 day month
53 minutes down in 365 days
99.95% Uptime
22 minutes down in a 30 day month
263 minutes down in 365 days (4 hours)
99.9% Uptime
43 minutes down in a 30 day month
526 minutes down in 365 days (9 hours)
99.5% Uptime
216 minutes down in a 30 day month
2628 minutes down in 365 days (44 hours)
99% Uptime
432 minutes down in a 30 day month
5256 minutes down in 365 days (88 hours or 3.7 days)
So an uptime guarantee of 99.5% translates to a whopping 2600 minutes of downtime a year.
99.9% uptime sounds good but it converts to 500 minutes of downtime a year.
Moreover i collect this information from other forum........
I placed it here to the knowkedge of everyone here.

A problem at the colocation center, somewhere upstream from them, a power failure, schedueled maintenance, "acts of God" and the like generally also don't count as downtime.
So basically it's things like a hard disk failure, an OS crash, unschedueled maintenance, things the host is directly responsible for.
If you want true 9x% uptime and have it guaranteed in your contract with the host then you have to be prepared to pay for that as well.
If the host offers an independant link to a site that tracks uptime then that's useful, otherwise it's just another marketing trick.
