    What does excellent uptime
    mean in your book?

Something like less then an hour of downtime per year.

Over the last years, across multiple datacenters, I have seen maybe one or two short downtimes per year. None ever lasting more then 5 minutes.

https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/ this lasted hours and affected almost everyone using us-east-1, large portion of internet was unavailable because they had no multi-region setups.

That was a "S3 Service Disruption". A perfect example of a problem you do not have with a single VPS setup.
