The point isn't to serve the volume that SalesForce has, the point is to serve yourself.

If you have experience enough to prevent downtime or to handle it when it happens, then perhaps that is better than risking that to someone else.

the 20 hours of downtime was probably BECAUSE of the amount of data/customers to handle. whereas if there is 1 customer, recovering isn't nearly as difficult or time consuming.
