True, Google is probably better at keeping their servers up... but I prefer to reduce my external dependencies anyway. Right now, I only have to rely on my hosting partner - which means I'm dependent on just ONE party. If something goes wrong, I call 'em and kick their lazy asses :) Chances are that things are up and running in no time. Remember when Amazon's cloud storage went offline last July? This meant all kinds of websites relying on that service were offline as well. No-one knew what was happening, why it was happening, and when it would be back online. I don't need that - seriously :)
