Keep in mind, we only sent pings every five minutes to each website. Therefore, if we found an outage and it really only lasted 20 seconds, we will still show a 5 minute outage. For this reason, the actual uptime percentage is lower than what we really experienced. Starting in December, we changed the ping times to 1 minute and we are testing using a controlled 10K page as well for better equality.

Please Reference: About HostNine Speed Tests
This reference has important information on how our HostNine tests are performed. We do not just send a tiny ping, these reports are from full page loads of this site’s main page. All uptime reports are based on 5 minute ping times, therefore, we acknowledge that reported uptime percentages are lower than actual uptime experienced.
