When people ask me why I lean toward hosting my content on infrastructure I control (as far as I can), I point then to articles like this. I get that it isn't for everyone - you have to know what you are doing and you have to have the time (at least initially) to do it - but if you can do it, you avoid all manner of third party unreliability. The trend to blindly rely on tens or even hundreds of third parties for stuff like web sites is a direction I'm personally not comfortable with. Just one issue can take everything down. The lower level your dependency (like an ISP vs a hosting company), the harder it is, intentionally or accidentally, to be affected like this.
