It's not right for customers to pay lots of money monthly and not get what they paid for. I definitely think a partial reimbursement is not unreasonable for ALL their clients.

Everyone here including Natnet is losing money.... it's a question of how much is lost?
I guess my point was that the adult industry tends to have larger profit margins, so the cost of hosting is relatively small in comparison to income. And the host's own profit from you is a smaller percentage of that figure. So you can't really expect a host to be able to pay you 500% of your monthly fee as compensation for the $ you've lost for half a day's downtime. At some point the responsibility has to fall on the customer (eg with a hot spare at another host) because the host can only do so much, unless you want them to go broke...
