Have an alternate domain using completely different infrastructure.

Having a .com or .net as a backup domain, even if it isn't as sexy looking, doesn't hurt.

This may work for API endpoints but there's little re-course for your primary domain. It makes more sense to have .COM/.NET as your primary domain and have the .IO as a convenient alternative than the other way around. But my opinion is still that this is a short-term issue: the reliability of other TLDs will improve.

That's what we do at Phaxio: api.phaxio.com api.phaxio.co. We added the 'co' ever since the Zerigo DNS fiasco last year.
