Well, all I can say is that I discussed it with the person that sold me
the service and they said it was OK and it makes sense that if you buy
static IP addresses from them that 24/7 connection is what makes sense.
In addition, so far at least, I have had no problems ... their docs
make it clear that if you want to run a server you will have to get 
Static IP addresses ... that would imply 24/7 ... <shrug>
