reliable, independent webhoster will easily pay off.
Ah, but if Wikipedia is down, the traffic requirements for it will be HUGE. So
you can't think of it as a "small website". When we previously tried
mirroring
the donation page on Angela's site it simply collapsed under the weight very
shortly afterwards.

Is it really necessary to provide the normal donation form? Just put on
the error-page itself ( PayPal: donation(a)wikipedia.org ) and if that is
possible make from the email address a link to the website of PayPal to
a page where the can donate to the Wikimedia Foundation.
Side note (board/PR remark; I see the donation email address is
@wikipedia.org Would it not be better to use @wikimedia.org or
@wikimediafoundation.org for that? People give money not to Wikipedia
but to the Foundation and also not especaily for Wikipedia.
