    Fair enough, most of the time shit won't happen so you get 99.99%, but 99.9% is all you can really hold them to. I worked at a site with an actual 99.99% contractual obligation and we had to do the whole geo-redundant HA rigamarole to make sure we met it. I wouldn't expect or want a LET host to do anything like that except as a specialty product, because of the expenses involved that would of course be passed on to me.

    That said, I do think there is an opening for some LET host to offer basic HA web/wordpress hosting for $7/month (which would sell like hot cakes) or even $20/month. There have been a few discussions about this, with eager buyers but no interested sellers.

    ...we did have an issue on an atlanta node today which is mainly used for $1/month services...

    Is this your way of saying YGWYPF ? hehe

    That abbreviation is almost as long as just writing out "you get what you pay for".

    Almost <> is. So it served its purpose correctly.

  • At LET no downtime is acceptable.
