I'd be grateful if anyone can point me at a well conducted study on that topic. Until then I just say that my anecdotal evidence shows the opposite: My cheap-ass virtual server has an uptime of 492 days with only minor, previously announced network outages. During the same time, Amazon EC2 had what, 3 or 4 major outages? Regards, Florian Philipp
