For a business site, <i>seven minutes</i> can be devastatingly long.<p>For a personal site, <i>seven hours</i> is usually nothing unless it’s happening daily or weekly.<p>Yes, going offline sucks. But seven minutes once a year is a small price to pay for self-hosting private services and keeping costs down to the absolute minimum. It’s not something that would bug me unless it’s happening at a high frequency (say, monthly).
