I think this is just one of those annual down time days. It was only down 2 hours, not bad considering it has exceeded it's 99.9% uptime. http://www.readwritew

  It's great that they're doing so well, but their punishment for failing to meet their service agreement is negligible (10% off that month, I think). The downtime's effect on your site's reputation and income can be much more damaging than the 10% discount will fix. The fact that they seem to understand this and are committed to trying to provide 100% uptime gives me a lot more confidence in them.

    Name another commercial hosting service that allows for non-negligible punishment in the face of downtime. I think the point is that Amazon is doing pretty well, considering the scale, the cost and the nature of the service that they're providing.
