#82At times like this and the big Fastly outage roughly a year ago, choosing to host on a simple, independent bare-metal box doesn't seem like such a bad strategy (as long as one has backups for disaster recovery, of course).

How about waiting a bit first..
Maybe, things are back faster than you could cover from any trivial issue.
