Why does the server crash every day? and why is there such a long time till it restarts? do you restart it manuallly or is it rented from a company?

It's manually restarted to prevent data loss or corruption. It takes so long because they're often working, asleep, or what have you.

because he searches for the reason the server crashed so that he has a chance at fixing it so it doesn't crash again...

I don't think it has anything to do with drinking, laziness, or sleeping...

We don't know what kind of ISP they have. For all we know, they could have crap internet or a throttled internet. Last I read, I think it's university dorms internets?
We don't know exactly how they set up their servers. Hardware is one thing, but software is another.

Well basically.
We. Don't. Know. Much. About. The server. At all.
