Downtime is just a fact of life in the cloud hosting world. It's not like anyone is going to get 100% uptime 100% of the time. So, why are we even complaining about the cost? If you want 100% uptime, you're going to have to pay for it.
And if you're not willing to pay, then maybe you shouldn't be hosting your website on the cloud in the first place.

Paying more for cloud hosting can make sense depending on your needs. High-tier plans often offer better performance, enhanced security, scalability, and support — all crucial for growing businesses or high-traffic websites. It's about value, not just cost.
