“Whoops, our provider is down, sorry!” is not taking responsibility with customer data at all.

Respectfully disagree. No company in the world has 100% uptime. Whether it’s your server rack or their server rack going down means nothing to a customer.

We’re not discussing data loss in this thread specifically. This is about a couple of hours of downtime per year.
