EVERY datacenter eventually suffers outages. Either through acts of stupidity or nature. Having all of your eggs in one basket, even if that basket is labelled "Google" or "Amazon", WILL lead to issues like this. Also, "leasing" servers will also lead to headaches eventually. Leased servers, EC2, etc. are all fine while you're in a growth phase, but at some point if you want to run a big web enterprise, you have to DIY.
