You have a single hosting account, and about 15 (small but active) domains running on that account.
You work your ass off all dy making adjustments to your trade script, to build up your traffic.
Just when you relax a little, and go out for a bite. Your SQL server decides to go to sleep. You come home to one long ass page loaded with the following message: "Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: ..."

15 domains, all under the same account, (when one crashes, they all crash).
Your traffic is dying rapidly, surfers are fleeing your site. Your host tells you (over the phone) "just fill out a tech support form and we'll get to it"

What do you do?

You have no idea when the SQL will be back up.
Do you 404 all of your main pages, and hope your trades maintain for a while?
Do you redirect all traffic to a sponsor, and risk losing the trades?

WHAT DO YOU DO?
