Nobody says something about afew hours. Fail-over or redundancy is not
to be expected in these suroundings, and down-time is normal.
But we are going into the second week now AFAIR.

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.
Best
