This.
Hardware failures can and do occur. Even with more professional hosting situations. The data loss really was more of a perfect storm of hosting related issues and lack of a proper disaster recovery plan. The web servers and the SQL servers were actually back online again in less than 24 hours and had proper backups been made the site could have easily been brought online in that time frame. Aside from minor technical issues from time-to-time (resulting in a few minutes of reachability issues each) the site hasn't gone down due to hosting-related issues in a bit over two years. 24 hours of downtime in a two year life span really isn't too much to ask.
So yeah. The hosting provider is partially to blame here, but they have an excellent track record otherwsie.
Fair enough. I was more curious than anything. Well aware that shit just happens from time to time.
