Nobody says something about afew hours. Fail-over or redundancy is not to be expected in these suroundings, and down-time is normal.

I don't think that it would be disastrous, only more complicated to make changes. The advantage of "home-maintained" servers are that we can do changes quickly, easily, and without a lot of red-tape. That is great, I agree. But there are also advantages on the other side, it is not all black/white.
