Sometimes it's worth either paying someone for the convenience (ie. paying a decent provider) or doing it yourself. 55% uptime is horrible, but I'd suggest that instead of complaining you either shell out some more & move away (Drupal doesn't require anything special) or set up a VPS with a decent provider like Slicehost or Linode and go from there. I don't mean to preach, but I read so many 'hosting horror stories' where the end-user just doesn't seem to want to do anything about it.
