While that is a good point, 99.999% is probably out of my reach. The "high-availability" mentioned is in terms of load balancing. I've always heard it spoken that way, but I supposed it would be safer to say "fail-over" or "redundant."

I was just interested in the idea because I work on load-balanced sites with my job and have not seen a service like that available to small sites outside of the realm of the very large web hosts. Even then, most of the still don't use load balancing.

I know atleast one of the people who I help run her servers would be more interested in getting hosted with me with this method than have to deal with her own server that continuously has problems. But there's the problem, only one customer for a large operation would put a deep red color in my check book, but then again, that's the risk behind the business.

I do appreciate the feedback and still just thinking about it. I'm just tired of losing customers to those "1TB of space and 5TB of bandwidth for $2.99!" webhosts. Ultimately, some of them return a month or two later, but it is annoying and think something like this would appeal to some of those starting media/social websites that this internet is already full of.
