It's not professionalism to increase the cost of your service regardless of your needs. Maybe 99.99% is good enough for the OP's price point, and if I want five nines I'll pay for Zendesk.

In this sort of situation, using multiple servers is likely to reduce reliability. Needless complexity is not a good thing. Making a system distributed has a real cost.
