I'm just happy I use more than one host so if one does go down my business doesn't grind to a halt.

That's a good idea I actually have suggested this, think of the other as a back up then roll the dns over if needed. You can do this with a cron job and wget in a php script. I wish I can say there is never any downtime but even with redundancy, back up power, raid, whatever there is always at least some risk. Facebook, Microsoft, youtube, FBI, all have suffered downtime.
