Goodbye, Goodbye, sweet prince, parting is such sweet sorrow. Every cloned YASN starts as a $40 a month shared hosting plan, and either runs out of cash long before the membership is a traffic challenge, or, somehow, they keep raising cake from the VC's, just enough to break it.
Not every one.....
But seriously, 12 and a half hours in 2 months? Yikes.

Wow! That's a lot of time to be down. Did they fire their IT head yet? This is a weird situation --- no revenue, lots of traffic, need to spend more. What turmoil!
err.. who designed this chart? shouldn't linkedin go before reunion.com?.. and WTF is reunion.com? never heard of them.
also, consumating will soon have 24x7x365 downtime, which will make them the clear "winner"
