Should be fine with most ISP's / datacentres I guess.

You most likely host with a reputable hosting company? Yoru site will stay up.

Pretty much all hosting companies will have backup power, so it shouldn't be an issue.
Unless you host with Piet from Boksburg.

They have backup/redundant power. Diesel powered generators.

Hmm. Power still on. I might have the area wrong.

Power back on, 2:06 of load shedding.

They are in the cloud. They don't use Eskom.

Welcome to the forum. Any decent hosting company will have its facilities within an N+1 facility and provide backup power via generator.

Bare in mind that this is not the first, nor not the last of load shedding for South Africans so we are well equipped and prepared.
