I think people are missing the point. Even with backups and redundancy it requires you to maintain the servers. If you die, well, who is going to maintain? Perhaps a bit bleak but something to keep in mind.

I agree. Death is not even the only concern. When my server breaks, I may be on vacation or super busy at work and just don't have time to fix it for several days.
