Yea, sure, but you should also consider getting a different credit card AND email provider.

Why would a credit card suddenly block charges from a well known company you've been recurring paying for X months or Y years.

Why would my email block one of the biggest service providers on the planet?



I think the point is that bank payments, email spam filters, the risk of getting marked as "suspicious activity" as in GP, these become risk factors with a cloud infrastructure as much as, say, a power outage would be if you were self hosting.

When you self host something and you have a power outage, that counts as an interruption of service; when a major cloud provider suspends your account because of some chain of mistakes on your or their part, this doesn't impact their SLAs, because the service is technically fine.


because banks are worse at tech than tech companies

if it’s critical, make sure it’s isolated
