As far back as I can remember, lispm.de was hosted on some guy's personal box, so it was prone to downtime and simply being overwhelmed.

Come on, man. We're living in the era of clouds and virtual server images. Servers are cattle, not pets.

That is for the owner of the server to decide, not an universal truth.

I suspect a lot of the people who view servers as cattle probably haven't had to maintain bare metal hardware, or do serious ops work. It makes sense that you wouldn't get attached to an EC2 instance--most of the "fun" [sic] has been taken out of it.
