some hosts were hit by it, including some universities and stuff (you think they could get better redundant systems with $30k+/yr tuition). but most good hosting companies have their datacenters with multiple redundant systems, and can generally run for several days without power (generally indefinitely as long as the fuel flows). so the big boys aren't really affected much, although i have had a few problems with network traffic getting through, so some of the routing systems and stuff may be hosed.
