Have Backup Plan & Spread out your sites!

One of my server is down for more than 7 hours today. I had 3 good traffic sites which generates about $20-$30 per day together. My other sites hosted at other servers at other data center. If you are getting dedicated server(s), at least spread out to different reputable providers. Also, having backup plan is critical(must for if you have big site). It is pain when your site is offline and traffics keep coming in. I can’t do anything except wait until server is up, this sucks. I need to think about backup plan if this happens again because there is no such thing as 100% uptime.
