9 years is a very long time.
If disaster struck, are you saying it would take you weeks to get your site up and running again?
These days we actually can spin the whole lot up in hours if not minutes.

No, because I'm smart enough not to use bare metal. :) But if I were running a full bare metal datacenter, then yes, it would. Because I would either need to procure a whole bunch more bare metal or I'd have to move what I've got somewhere else.
- xchaotic 10y agoWhen was the last time that hte entire data centre went out? One, two servers, maybe a whole rack, but an entire dc out for good, more like a few hours downitme
- jedberg 10y agoRead the OP I was responding to. Their initial comment was about having to bail out of your provider, and their claim was that bailing out of your provider is easier when you're on bare metal, so I countered that that isn't true at all.
