It's fine if you're happy with it, but their web site doesn't share this information about the server not being built from all server components.

It matters not to them due to a) backups, and b) not being in Zambia to expect any outages.
Consumer-grade hardware will work fine for most people with a proper backup plan set in place, and the cost will be significantly lower than if they were to pay for enterprise grade.
The real issue here, and the reason so many people being triggered is the tech support that is often cocky, laying the blame on the customer, and simply saying you need to upgrade for nearly everything.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Hiring more locals, and not outsourcing to meet the demand, but save on labor costs is what would reduce the comments you usually get. It's just that people often won't elaborate on why they are triggered.
