With open discussion those kinds of links are uncalled for.

I agree and besides that, anyone can get hacked. Just like anyone can have their home burglerized or their car stolen.

... yeah.
It was StreamOne Cloud Service I was thinking of. Not sure why I thought Upcloud when I seen this. I was busy.

They have been in business at least since 2013. If I remember right, by that time they data centers were in Finland/UK only.
I host some simple services in their Chicago data center and they work very well. -

Basically impossible to attain... Any big name had issues in the past. Even if you redund everything human error is still possible...

@matteo-nunziati maybe they are running 100% by AI

Remember that outage has different meanings to different people. To my users anything that makes my website not show the right thing means there’s an outage. But if the host is up and the network is up There is no outage from the infrastructure side. If the host is up but the fiber is cut outside the facility they could still meet 100% uptime because their system was up. It’s all in the details of who is actually having the outage.

@JaredBusch Right, that makes since.
Here is UpCloud's SLA just for reference.
Service Level Agreement
Scope. This service level agreement (“SLA”) is an integral part of the Contract between UpCloud and the Customer.
Service Guarantee. UpCloud will guarantee 100% virtual server and network availability to the Customer. The network will be deemed available if UpCloud’s routers and switches are available and responding properly. For all unscheduled interruptions in the provision of the Services, which are due to hardware or telecommunications failures that last longer than 5 minutes, UpCloud shall offer compensation to the Customer.
Scheduled Interruptions. UpCloud will notify the Customer by e-mail or on UpCloud’s website about scheduled interruptions in the provision of the Services at least 24 hours in advance, with the exception of important security updates and patches which UpCloud may deploy without prior notice.
Error Notifications. In case of an interruption in the Services, the Customer has to notify UpCloud by e-mail to [email protected]. The interruption is deemed to begin when the failure starts to affect the Customer’s use of the Services, and to end when the failure has been corrected. UpCloud will notify the Customer about the correction of the failure.
Payment of Compensation. When a failure in the Services has been corrected, UpCloud will offer the Customer compensation which the Customer may reclaim within 15 days. The compensation will be paid to the Customer’s service account in the form of credits and may not be exchanged for cash or other forms of payment.
Amount of Compensation. The amount of compensation will be 50 times UpCloud’s charges for the Services allocated for the period of the interruption of the Services. The maximum amount of compensation for an individual interruption is 100% of UpCloud’s charges for the Services during 30 calendar days preceding the interruption. The total sum of aggregated compensations cannot exceed 250% of UpCloud’s charges for the Services during 30 calendar days preceding the latest interruption.
Sole Remedy. The above-mentioned payment of compensation will be the sole remedy of the Customer for interruptions or other failures in the Services. In case of a disagreement over the amount of the compensation payable to the Customer, UpCloud’s decision on the issue will be binding and final.
Exemptions from Service Guarantee. The following situations will be exempt from UpCloud’s service guarantee:
- Scheduled interruptions
- Failures caused by errors in third party software utilized in the Services
- Failures in products or services which are not included in the Services
- Failures caused by the Customer’s actions contrary to user instructions or resulting from the Customer’s operating systems or application software used within the Services
- Violations of UpCloud’s acceptable use policy
- Failures due to hostile actions by third parties such as denial-of-service attacks
- Interruptions resulting from law and public authority enforced activities
- Customer does not have sufficient pre-paid balance on the Customer’s service account for the use of the Services at the time of the interruption in the Services.
No compensation will be payable to the Customer during a free-of-charge trial period.

I setup my first instance this weekend. Seems pretty good, on par with the others (Digital Ocean, etc.)
