A physical business can put up a closed sign. That closed sign has 24/7 uptime. (Sans vandalism, natural disasters)

I guess for a website you could do similar by flicking cloudflare over to an IP serving a were closed.

But you won't be competitive and you will lose customers!

If your website provides me a respectable and decent service I am going to take that over than say a website that's open 24/7.

The same amount of quality will cost more for 24/7 availability so the likelihood of them cutting corners is more likely and thas causing a lack of quality. If however they don't then yeah, I guess you would.

You can't even read amazon reviews without logging in, now all you get is an AI generated summary.

My broadband provider is more expensive than the common domestic provider but they provide decent support so that's why I am content in forking the extra cost.

Sure, but you'd probably prefer a website that provides a respectable and decent service that's available 24/7 and didn't go out of their way to specifically stop providing service some of the time, often for no technical or practical reason.

Huh? Why would you need Cloudflare and a separate IP for that? You can just have your server serve a different thing in certain hours
