On this MidPhase server, we will be posting full unedited stats on server uptime, downtime, and response times.

Regarding Uptime, we have our pinging 3rd party company hitting this site once every 5 minutes. Therefore, if the server is down for only 5 seconds and the ping servers we use happens to send a ping at that time, it will count for 5 minutes of downtime.

Therefore, it is important to note that, although we may show stats lower than 99% uptime, they may have been up for that long. We could change this to 1 minute but we feel the bandwidth used from this type of testing would be extreme.

Also note that our testing company is sending pings from all over the world, not just from where we are located. Therefore, average ping response times will include very long distance ping requests. We’ll accurately report these speeds by splitting up US pings to non-US pings and then finally, a total overall combined score.
