Do you really need to spend the time (and maybe money) for a second host just because your current one might go down for an hour? There's probably a point at which you might rightly consider it, but I doubt many people are legitimately at that threshold. Especially given I don't even remember the last time Netlify had this issue.

When did I ever say most people have this issue? Of course most don’t. But there are many that do: an hour of lost sales a few times a year can easily justify the very easy efforts of running two CDNs. You’re vastly overestimating the cost (human and financial).

In my business, being down for an hour would be a very big deal.

The total downtime was less than an hour and a half. Many spend more time each day on HN.
