What I find completely amazing is that business's don't have adequate backups of their websites and information and are not able to move to another hosting provider and get set back up.
I have multiple copies of my own personal websites in all kinds of different locations, stored both at home, as well as on remote servers, and backed up within the cloud.
Any eCommerce company needs to realise that their livelihood is at stake and that if they can't get back online within a day then maybe they are in the wrong business.
- dorian-graph 15y agoUnfortunately many if not most basic businesses who start operating online just hire 'some guy' who uses the bare minimum tools like Dreamweaver, templates and common CMSes, to throw together something like what the client wants/needs and then abandons them and moves on to their next victim. He never tells them about correct backup handling or much else, really.
- elithrar 15y agoYep, spot on. That, or they learn how to get a basic ZenCart or OSCommerce install running themselves. I agree that if you don't know how to get your business back online within a day or so, that you don't deserve to be running a business and that you've taken that risk on by trying to cut costs/corners elsewhere. Still, my idealising doesn't stop people from doing it.
