I just noticed this...

"About the time being monitored..If a host has 1 server being monitored, after 1 hour the total time monitored would be 1 hour. If a host has 10 servers being monitored, after one hour the total time monitored would be 10 hours. ETC"

I guess this is how candidhosting got their numbers up so quickly, but the problem here is that you show the ABSOLUTE figures as well as the percentages. 10 servers that are monitored for 100 hours with downtime of an hour for all of them is 1% downtime... but there is nothing on your page saying you are monitoring 10 servers off that host. Therefore 1% downtime could be 10 servers down for an hour, or 100 servers down for 6 minutes. Larger hosts will show proportionally larger downtime amounts which disregards the actual period of time that they're off the air.
