The lifetime of a netlet is limited by the lifetime of a particular node. There is no direct provision for a netlet to transcend that lifetime. The contract under which a node executes a netlet, or the certificates associated with the node may imply certain guarantees about the node's reliability.
Hosting services may offer guarantees over and above this, providing facilities by which applications may transcend the lifetime of any particular node.
