Not Totally True.
Many customers also use their DNS service, (the EV1 DNS), so while there are 9000 servers physically 'off' there are many more effectively 'black' as the conical names no longer resolve.
I'm one of those customers. We're a very small business as are many of the other customers of The Planet (formerly Everyones Internet -- EV1.net)
I can still access our sever via the IP address, but not via the conical name.
While we host our site on a private server, many of the servers of other customers are resellers and with the DNS service, I could easily see how 10s of thousand of actual sites are down beyond the 9000 physical servers.
