US web shoppers spent USD100 Billion last year. Credit Cards get almost all of the business. Visa is the big brother, how big is it? Well, it handles $3 trillion in purchases worldwide each year, has 1.6 billion cardholders (imagine, a quarter of world population) and 24 million locations willing to take a swipe. So, please don’t mess with it.
Marketshare percentage
Visa – 50%
MasterCard – 30%
AmEx – 15%
Discover – 4.5%
Others – 0.5%

Do you suffer any “downtime” of your web server lately? As website increasingly becoming more and more important to every businesses (esp true for e-commerce website involve in monetary transaction!), can you afford even a 1 minute downtime? Honestly, we can, since we don’t serve millions of users nor taking in thousands of dollars per second like those running online gambling. For most of the legit small business, you don’t need 100% uptime! Because 99.9999% is good enough 
But those serving millions of users eg the BiG 3 – GYM, (Google, Yahoo & MSN), they really cannot afford even a single second downtime.
Check out the interesting stat of the Uptime for the 20 most popular websites in US
PS: Why GYM? GYM > WORKOUT > MUSCLE > POWER > ABUSE > BULLY > DESTROYED. Anything better to describe the 3 gorilla currently dominating the web now? write to us!
