Until the hosting provider has actually started the particular (virtual) server again, there's not a lot the customer (in this case AmigaKit) can do.

In this time and age it’s not uncommon to use at least two providers for redundancy, or at the very least two locations of the one provider.

But amiga web sites tend to be hosted in a fashion that is almost as retro as the platform itself

For business or society critical applications/sites, yes. Amigaworld (and AmigaDeveloper, btw) is hardly that, however much we might miss them.

It's not so much a question of how critical a service is, as much as it is about what methods and technology is used to implement the service, and what the total cost is. It can very well be cheaper to implement "the modern" way than to stick with the old.
