Revenue briefly deferred?
Profit lost?

I, honestly, doubt very much. I'm sure you'll have a percentage of potential customers not make a purchase at all because the site is down, but everyone that is committed to buying whatever it was they were going to look for will just wait until the site is back up.

I don't recall the source, but I've seen that the loss due to downtime is negligible, and that customers return at a later time to complete their purchase.
