I hate seeing PEQ Down. P1999's stability and the servers and network it runs on are proven now that we moved since the last ddos attacks and thwarted them, I see no reason we can't share it.
As a permanent solution, wouldn't this be putting all of our eggs into one basket? If we lose the host, we lose two servers instead of one.

If they're using virtual machines, most likely it would only take out one VM and not the whole system. If the whole system went down, then there's a huge problem.

You are assuming the problem would be software related. What if the machine dies? What if it ends up under DDOS attack that exceeds it's ability to mitigate?

There are other "what if" situations as well.
