Pat, Can I offer one peace item... ask your hosting provider how they can provide 100% uptime SLAs. It's near impossible to guarantee that. Even 99.99% is very costly let alone 99.999%. I'm sure you can't be paying enough for even 99.99% either (believe me you aren't likely to be).
So if they lie about that... what else do they lie about?
To even achieve high availability (but not 100%) you need more than just two data centres with automatic failover etc. And the failover process eats into availability.
