Regardless with hosting option you choose you will have downtime. I have found more often than not the reason is to do with infrastructure like power, networking, hardware, routing etc. that will most likely be out of your control. I think the downtime I've seen with Heroku is tolerable and you shouldn't necessarily assume you'll have less downtime if you move somewhere else.
