I liked them. I spoke on the phone with a sales guy, and signed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They took care of migrating all my files and databases onto their servers. They scanned our files for malware and reported findings so I could fix them. They re-scanned whenever I asked them to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They gave me a \u201csandbox\u201d to use for testing my fixes. When I was ready, they helped me get the sites publicly available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still have to get our email accounts migrated. That should be happening in the next week or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working on all our files has been time-consuming and frustrating. Site security is one of those, \u201cWhat do you mean you don\u2019t have it?!?\u201d specifics that should be an absolute given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It reminds me about my traveling days in the 90s. I stayed in hotels and motels 100-200 nights a year for 10 years. \u201cClean Rooms\u201d was never in doubt. Free breakfast, and King beds were acceptable to add or not have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clean Rooms?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Web Hosting, security is one of those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Amazon business is doing fine. We\u2019re only a skosh behind last year, but being it is Q4 and we didn\u2019t do all that well last year, we\u2019ll end up OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enough about my challenges with websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m SO glad that Amazon has some of the best server systems \u2013 Ever!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See you in another post.
