why don't you move to a more reliable hosting, like AWS?

As a fairly heavy ($x00,000/month) user of AWS, this is the funnniest and most-misguided thing I've read in a long time. AWS is horrible. It's extraordinarily bad, with all sorts of insanely complex failure modes to account for. There are some reasons to consider using it, but reliability is most definitely NOT amongst them.

i agree. we have taken customers from $x0,000/month AWS footprints to $x,000 month managed hardware footprints. an order of magnitude.

aws is a lot of things, but cheap and reliable aren't on that list.
