Well, thats kinda your fault, because assuming you had your server for a few months you may want to upgrade the OS to plug up any holes that have been discovered and overall tighten things up, guess what you'll need a reboot for that.
So if you are worrying about the server not coming up since EV1 doesnt do much tech support for you, thats on your shoulders, I personally have no worries about rebooting any of my servers because I know their configurations inside and out and because the datacenter is staffed 24/7/365.
Now if you are taking about delays in the physical labor, I can understand that, but hope for the best, there are always unforseen circumstances, but nothing you can do to avoid that, they are in fact providing a valuable service that plenty of their customers will enjoy and EV1 is more about quantity then specific per customer special requests, so go with the flow, or get a host where you pay a bit more but your individual needs are catered to.

I never rebooted that server so I don't have a clue how well it will work out, but I had bad experiences before with a server at 1and1 which got rebooted and fucked up.Clean install had to be made again and I had to configure everything again and that took hours.
