[David Krings]

Hi,

I host my own server and since CL&P is still running the same grid as 
Edison himself put it in, power is on and off quite a bit. I bought to 
UPS to compensate for that.
If you don't want to bother with self-hosting, look at places in Western 
Europe (e. g. Germany). Power is far more reliable there than anywhere 
in the US (OK, except for the goof-up from E.ON recently), host 
providers have backup systems, and infrastructure is about as good as it 
is here (if not even better), and pricing may even be better when you 
look at technology havens such as Ireland.

Just my 2 €...
