When hosting is down, how long before it effects ranking?

Had a hosting problem for about 20 hours. fixed now but how long would you say it would have to be down before google and the other SE's change your site rankings?

Cheers
 
Depends how often google visits your site IMO.

I had one site a 2 word generic that was number 2 for the "Word1 Word2", my site was down for server migration for 2 days and I dropped off the first page. Another site dropped 1 spot then went straight back to middle of page 1, so I think it depends on how often google checks your site before it determines its dead.
 
I just found a domain that has not has a site on it since January and server is down/replaced but dns not updated. This still ranks number 1 for the 2 words in the domain name.

So god knows.
