Everything you've said still depends on me being alive.
The sites ARE on dedicated servers.
They are backed up. That's not the problem.
The clients all have access to their servers.
It's someone running the setup, exisiting sites and support that I need
to find plans for.

Either reading what you are suggesting wrong or one of is out of whack
:D

One solution is to mirror your sites at a dedicated host, or make
arrangements
for a particular back-up host to store zipped files of the existing
sites as
part of a disaster recovery plan.
In this way you can make the switch in providers in the amount of time
it takes
the new DNS settings to propagate. (24 to 72 hours)
Another solution is to mirror your sites in a kind of load balancing
arrangement, that will automatically assume the load should one provider
fail,
have an outage, or close up shop. This would probably be the most
expensive
solution, but it would guarantee no-fault fail-over with no business
interruption to the clients.
This would only require one additional A record in DNS with priority set
to
first hit the primary host, and if that fails, then automatically hit
the
secondary.
The developer would have to create the code to make sure both hosts are
updated
as often as necessary to prevent loss of data should a failure occur.
