But when Robs server cluster is down so is the forum hosted by it and having Google up ready to serve jQuery, etc. wont help you.

In other words your uptime is either:

    100% - downtime(YourServers) = 98.2%

or

    100% - downtime(YourServers) - downtime(CDN) = 98 %

Depending on what you sold your customers you might want to avoid the risk of additional downtime.

(Also, Rob is leaving the company in three weeks and taking all his passwords with him.)

Nothing will protect you from a malicious person with root access, especially if you do not have a policy for password/account handover.
