I buy extremely reliable hardware.

In a situation like hcoop's, I would advise having a spare machine
online at all times.

If all that fails, they offer "remote hands" for something like
$50/hour, available 24x7x365.  By the way, this service and pricing is
nothing special -- any reasonable colocation facility should offer
24x7x365 remote hands for approximately this price.  The fact that
Peer1 charges >$150/hour, and is only staffed from 9-5 is completely
absurd.
