Not bad luck, bad design. Same for Gandi, and for the situation you just described.

Drive failures and HVAC failures due to bad power are not "black swawn" events. These are very common problems for DCs, and a good design takes these problems into account.

However, a "bad" design is cheap, and hopefully the savings is passed to the customer.

Hopefully... My dedicated hosting was very cheap, I paid $20 a month.

It's Delimiter, wasn't it? They weren't a very good hosting organization to begin with, but you get what you pay for.

Right. When I relocated to a home with FTTH, I switched to self-hosting.
