How to read this
Hetzner reports “Operational”, Akamai Linode reports “Operational”. Publishing more incidents does not mean being less reliable: it often means a more detailed status page. Compare total downtime instead.

How is the 90-day uptime figure calculated?
From the incidents each provider itself publishes on its official status page: the shorter the cumulative downtime over 90 days, the higher the uptime shown. We don't run any active tests ourselves.
What does this comparison actually mean?
It puts two providers from the same category side by side over the same 90 days, to answer one question: which one accumulated less published downtime.
