Amazon S3 Outage shows the danger of doing things cheaply.

More cloud-baby BS. Imagine son, in the early 2000's any SMB or Mid Market companies top expense was maintaining their Exchange Server farms, it was probably 80% of my billables up until Google Apps took off.
These are cost effective against outage risk factors on a 1 to 20 ratio against. Outages were so constant it literally killed the ASP movement. Anyway remember "Application Server Providers". Salesforce is the only one who survived it.
This generation has yet to see a real outage.

We're warming up to a big one now. In October last year someone proved they could take out one of the biggest DNS providers on the planet and they succeeded. By using the mass swarm of cheaply made IOT devices with little or no security.
Have a read into the Brian Krebs/Akamai attack last year. Where it was proven that you can bring any journalist or website offline if you hammer the hosting provider enough.

Assuming that they only have one hosting provider

Still won't help depending on the whims of each provider.
