There is an assumption in, quote, "may be another node in network would help users".
There is no "3NWeb network", cause servers don't need to cooperate to provide utility services, used by client side platform (e.g. PrivacySafe) that runs apps for your needs: messaging, storage, password manager/holder, so on. ( second talk in https://kwlug.org/node/1440 )

When internet goes down -- internet of bigs vs the Internet that is an actual network of switches -- if the rest goes down, clients can still connect to server, for needed utilities: saving encrypted blobs in storage, and picking incoming cypher blobs.
Apps on client platform will continue working.

VPS, somewhere, is a great example of why you'd want 3NWeb platform versus NextCloud, or even CryptoPad:
- unlike NextCloud, everything is end-to-end encrypted, and utility protocols don't have rich metadata for observation by whatever can be observing VPS process in the "somewhere".
- unlike CryptoPad (and NextCloud), server doesn't know what apps users have and use.
- unlike both of these, API surface for 3NWeb apps allows for simple writing of apps/processes that live on the client side. NextCloud and CryptoPad architectures still have server-at-the-center tilt.

I'd love if someone else sets up 3NWeb server to verify my claim that it is way easier and faster to setup than NextCloud, than SMTP server. And may be in a process further simplifications can be found, or a particular admin experience can be added.
