Also, I'm mostly concerned about hardware failures. Network uptime are extremely strong almost everywhere because datacenters got that shit on lock. As far as software, I also understand that a good admin can get that shit onlock too. The hardware failures are the fucking pain in the ass. Hosts brag that "we guarantee 1 hour hardware replacements, isnt that awesome". No FUCK YOU, that's fucking horrible, that means my site will be down for up to 1 hour!
Keep in mind *MOST* of these "hosts" around here do not own the facility, do not own the hardware, and are either coloing 1-2 racks in someone else's facility or are reselling servers from someone else. Of course they can't meet those type of requirements.

Lots of fake it until you make it going on around here
