Are your servers mirrored, or otherwise "bullet-proof?"

No. Did you look at the pricing? The shared hosting plans are entry-level business hosting. you just don't get "bullet-proof" at this level.

The concept of "bullet proof hosting" is an excellent one, but there are a few key things that need to be kept in mind. First, things can always go wrong, and typically these things are related to hardware. The amount of hardware required to circumvent a failure also follows an exponential curve, albeit a logarithmic one, as it is scaled.

Unfortunately, the term "mirroring" is thrown around in the industry as if it is as simple as clicking a button. Mirroring requires a full duplicate set of hardware, software, data, and typically a duplicate network to be available, and dedicated, at all times. This by itself is cost-prohibitive for small-to-moderate businesses. We can provide these services to enterprise customers, but they start at around $1,000/month for a basic installation with N+1 redundancy, starting with 2N where N is 1. Once load balancing becomes part of the equation, it is necessary to start with 3N where N is 1 in order to provide failover without overload on another box.
