If your site is really "mission critical", you should be prepared to
spend the money that it takes to increase reliability and durability.
$20/month gets you cheap and cheerful hosting with no fault tolerance
and minimal support. You get what you pay for and don't get what you
don't pay for. To get increasingly higher levels of reliability, expect
your costs to increase exponentially. Like almost anything you look at,
the last tenth can be exorbitantly expensive so you have to decide how
much down time you can actually tolerate. Clearly, tolerating outages of
20 hours is fine for you because you're still there.
