Uptime Calculation
We calculate the yearly uptime by dividing the number of hours our domains are up and running per year by 8,760 (the overall number of hours in a year) and multiplying the resulting value by 100 to get the percentage.
In the first quarter of 2026 we had: 44,640 uptime minutes in January; 40,320 minutes in February; and 44,640 minutes in March, amounting to the overall 129,600 minutes in Q1. Since there have been no incidents in Q1, the uptime percentage calculation looks like this:
129,600 mins / 129,600 mins * 100 = 100%
In the second quarter of 2026 we had: 43,200 uptime minutes in April; 44,640 minutes in May; and 43,200 minutes in June, amounting to the overall 131,040 minutes in Q2. Since there have been no incidents in Q2, the uptime percentage calculation looks like this:
131,040 mins / 131,040 mins * 100 = 100%
