I think that's an unrealistic assumption. You appear to be making an impossible case, then standing back in satisfaction as you prove it!When there is a standard to some degree. My former employer stated uptime in terms of a year in the contract. We also had a dedicated hosting customer who specified 100% uptime over a year and had a clause where they paid their customers for any downtime. It was quite costly for them. I agree a year is near impossible, but that is the point. People need to realize that their websites will be down sometimes.
There is no standard for measuring "percentage uptime", but most seem to cite their monthly uptime.
I'd suggest the most meaningful way to specify uptime would be "mean time between failure," or MTBF. The methodologies involved are rigorous and well-researched in the electronics industry.
