A Note on the Downtime
Starting in early-April, my hosting provider faced an extended outage which extended until last week of June. Generally speaking, three months is a brand killing outage - both for the hosting provider and for their clients. The hosting provider I use is a small business owned by a single individual, with a small team of support staff, and I hope he is able to recover and rebuild his brand.
While I moved my commercial endevours to a new provider, I am sticking with this one for my personal site because I want to support a small business which has struggled during the pandemic. I have confidence this won't happen again, but I will take proactive steps to ensure a stable fall over if the need arises.
