Just a warning to anyone that is looking for hosting in California. I had hosting at a server in Southern Cali in January, but The server was constantly down for "rolling blackouts". And, because there was a clause in the contract that said the hosting wasn't guaranteed due to "forces of nature" (power outages included), I didn't receive one penny back for the outage time.

The hosting company didn't have enough generators to cover everyone's servers too... so some people were out more than others.

Just a warning to all that they appear to be having more rolling blackouts in the state, so take note, and if you are looking for a server, either choose one that's not in California, or read the contract very carefully!

here's a news clip:

Thanks

Guess all the server places need to get a couple of these :)

Companies like AboveNet and Exodus have even bigger generators than that. And AboveNet connects to multiple power grids.

At least three of these that I've found cross posted. See:
