The 6 nines mean that an ideal service should have 99,9999% uptime, right?

That’s almost 32 seconds of downtime in a year!

If so, how much would it cost to do it? (Let’s consider that is a marketplace site with 1000 daily users)

    Exactly. I think about an email hosting service. What does downtime mean exactly? Is the service down when you can send but cannot receive mail? Or when the service receives mail but it can’t deliver it to your inbox? Nailing this down can be difficult, especially (in my experience) with the ones who decide where $$$ goes.
