        A2 uses Windows servers for... what kind of hosting?

        IIS based hosting.

        Ewww

            Kind of asking for problems then 🙂

              Got an update email a bit ago. It was a security breech of some kind.

                Client still down. And because IIS, not as easy to move as could be.

                  Amazing how much risk that adds doing something like that. If they were on Apache, the options for failover are endless.

                    Are you looking for alternatives, or just biting the bullet and waiting on A2 to get their **** together?

                      At this point it is waiting, because as far as I know they don't have a current backup of the DB associated with the site.

                        That's often how those services survive problems. No one ever takes backups (I've been caught on that myself so....)

                          It is likely that the last backup is still valid, except for some used equipment information.

                                      The only other option in windows hosting is azure.

                                      So not sure yet. Will depend on what the financial response is from A2

                                        It's been a number of years now, but https://viviotech.net/windows-vps-hosting.html did a good job when I was supporting companies on their Windows platform.
